Cold Hands, Warm Heart? Let’s Talk Circulation.

Cold extremities, fatigue, and sluggishness aren’t just an inconvenience — they often point to poor circulation.


In herbal medicine, good blood flow means more than warmth. It brings nutrients to tissues, clears stagnation, and lifts vitality.

Signs your circulation may be compromised:

  • Cold hands and feet

  • Low energy

  • Brain fog or poor concentration

  • Feeling emotionally “stuck”

Warming herbs like ginger (Zingiber officinale) and cayenne (Capsicum annuum) act as “movers” — they stimulate blood flow, ignite digestion, and support heart energy.

In clinic, I often combine a warming herb with a bitter (to clear the path) and a harmoniser (to guide the action). The result is more than warmth — it’s renewed clarity and movement in the system.

Curious about your own terrain? Let’s work together to identify what’s stagnant and get your energy flowing again.
