Sure, it sounds like ya might be dealing with issues related to Vata imbalance, going by Ayurveda. Vata governs movement and circulation in the body, and imbalances can lead to cold hands and feet, dizziness, and even that tingly feeling in your legs. So, yeah, your lifestyle habits may be affecting your blood vessels, but there’s definitely stuff you can do to improve things.
Diet first, gotta cut down on them fried foods and maybe try replacing some cups of tea and coffee with warm herbal teas. Things like ginger tea or tulsi tea are great for improving circulation. Loads of fresh veggies, fruits, whole grains, and nuts will really help. Specifically, pomegranates, beets, and spinach are good for blood vessels, rich in beneficial vitamins and minerals.
On the herb front, Arjuna is an amazing tonic for the heart and blood vessels. You can make tea with Arjuna powder by boiling a teaspoon in a cup of water, drinking once or twice a day. Ashwagandha is another option; it’s known for improving circulation and reducing stress, which could be playing a role here too. Both are worth checking out at an Ayurvedic store.
Massage with warm sesame oil could help, improves circulation, and promotes warmth. Abhyanga (self-massage) in the morning before showering is a traditional method that many find soothing. Warm water therapy, like soaking your feet in warm water, might provide temporary relief, but consistent changes in diet and lifestyle are key.
You asked if it’s genetic, some things could be hereditary, but Ayurveda sees it as a correctable imbalance. Building in light exercises like walking or yoga can increase circulation too—consistent exercise often brings results in weeks, but patience is key.
Avoid habits that increase vata—staying up late, skipping meals, or eating on the run. Lastly, listen to your body, tweak habits, see what works best for ya. Above all, consult a doc if symptoms persist or worsen to rule out any serious conditions.
