Ways To Treat Raynaud's Disease

Warm Hands And Feet

Be sure to keep warm hands and feet, especially if you are in a cold environment. If blood supply becomes limited for prolonged periods, the extremities can become permanently deformed. It's a good practice to dress warmly and even layer your clothing, so always wear or travel with thick mittens or gloves, long heat-preserving socks, thermal undergarments, and a hat or earmuffs. Drink only from insulated cups or use napkins or some sort of insulated cover to keep your fingers from getting too cold. If you feel you are at risk for an attack, run warm water on your hands and feet. Be sure the water is not too hot as it can cause further damage. You can also perform a light jog in place and rotate your arms in a windmill fashion in efforts to obtain more heat within the body.
