Acupuncture 🧠

One very popular acupoint! 😎

Raynaud’s in TCM terms
Raynaud’s often shows up as a mix of:

Blood deficiency (not enough warm, nourishing blood reaching the extremities)

Blood stasis (circulation is sluggish)

Cold in the channels (cold constricts → fingers/toes turn white or blue)

Why beets help
In TCM, beets are considered to:

Nourish Blood

Move Blood

Support the Liver (which governs the smooth flow of qi and blood)

Beet juice can help:

Improve circulation to hands and feet

Reduce cold-induced constriction

Support people who feel cold easily, have pale complexion, dizziness, or fatigue

How to use beet juice (TCM-friendly)
To avoid worsening cold:

Use room temperature or lightly warmed

Combine with warming herbs/foods, such as:

Fresh ginger

Cinnamon

A splash of lemon

Start with small amounts (½ cup) and observe response

Example:
Beet + apple + ginger juice is gentler than straight beet juice.

When to be cautious
Beet juice may not be ideal if someone has:

Strong cold digestion (bloating, loose stools, cold abdomen)

Severe cold hands with very low energy
In these cases, soups, stews, and warm blood-moving formulas are usually better.

Best results
Beet juice works best when paired with:

Acupuncture (warming points, blood movers)

Keeping hands/feet/low back warm

Regular movement to keep qi and blood flowing
