Notes about this video:
For those concerned about the ice baths (it is pretty uncomfortable for sure, even without Rayanud's!), introduce controlled cold therapy with the hand-in-ice, ice pack on shoulders, or face-in-ice method I mention in this video.
It's a great introduction to cold and getting your body used to a decrease in temperature.
Do it in a lovely warm home and think warm thoughts - it may not work, but you may also be surprised.
Sending my warm thoughts to you 🔥
Thank you so much for this video!
One question remains though: During the cold exposure/baths, in the beginning did you just let the Raynaud happen and rewarm your fingers afterwards? Or is the aim to stop as soon as it occurs?
If my Raynaud occurs I immediately focus on reheating the hands i.e. tucking them under my shirt or washing my hands with warm water if possible.
Yerba Mate 🧉. I drink that because I had monster cramps now gone. It’s a natural micro vasodilator

I don’t know 🤷♀️
Also playing piano 🎹
I had those gloves. But they were cheap ones and I got blisters on my hand without know it. Is I Raynaud ?
Then I put a chicken light over my hands and laptop. The laptop melted. So weird. My hands were fine
I had goût once heaven moon days. Wiggling toes through pain made it clear
Now transexamic acid for moon days.
I will fight for my health. Thanks for inspiring me. 💕 t
🙏💙
@ChristopherJohnson-tp4ku I've done 5 of the Wim Hiff training seminars with cold water exposure. The Raynauds is absolutely terrible for me during the ice baths, and it is a new thing as only the last time I went did I have Raynuads manifesting. I also do an "ice" cold shower every single morning to finish my showers. The Raynauds does not trigger during the cold showers? Don't k ow if it's too late or if any of this helps at all but cheers! Here's to not having hands that feel like hammers are smashing them
I’ve experienced reynauds in 90 degree and humid weather. It’s not about temperature, that’s for sure.
It’s the brain 🧠 not regulating thermodynamically
@imther1upedyrmom me too 😢
I think I'm having it too
Same here.
@@dontforgettoboycottisreal or anemia which is not the brain, or a hole in the heart, which is not the brain.
I don’t have Raynauds but I’m 58 old and sometimes get nerve issues and recently my blood pressure went up high. But I had issues processing b12 which leads to nerve issues. I took a large amount of b12. And started drinking beet juice. Beet juice I’d a vasodilator and has lots of nitric oxide. After three weeks of this my bp went back and my nerves went back to normal.
magnesium is also largely important. If you are a woman, your age suggests post-menopausal too, which implies likely hormonal (low) implications. Beets are great! I wish I could do them, but it's high oxalate and I am fast stone former....with medical ptsd so I am trying to stay outside the hospital.
Try this home remedy and see if it works for those of you who are not allergic to these ingredients: use whole lemons with the skin (I buy a pack of lemons in a bag). I tend to take out most of the seeds out when I chop them and blend in a juicer with big pieces of ginger and cinnamon and a dash of black pepper and sea salt, you can add little bit of water to juice it well. Freeze it in an ice tray and use one cube per day. Dilute it in water to the point you can drink it. Do not add sugar or any sweetner as it will compete with the vitamin C in the lemon. Good luck.
I could listen to Laura say 'porridge' over-and-over.... makes me smile every f'in time.
Gosh! I was just trying to play some old songs my mother and I used to sing together and my blue fingertips were so numb I could hardly play. I even cried because my mother told me I would have Raynaud’s just like hers and that there was nothing I could do about it. Thank God for TH-cam…how lucky we are to be able to share such hope with each other. Thank you, Laura, for your solid help! I am 75 and have had this syndrome for around 5 years. My internist, dermatologist, psychiatrist and even ob/gyn have all said, “Why, yes, that IS Raynaud’s Syndrome.” Same blank stares as I used to get regarding lymphedema, although this medical awareness is slowly improving. Today is the first day I’ve searched for help on TH-cam with Raynaud’s and your positive smile and reasonable suggestions were my first answer! Thanks!
Mine has just started and I have been very upset and scared but doing my research and reading the last couple of days I came upon your channel. I am going to try all of these things as it’s very new and maybe I can catch this early enough to reprogram my body and stop this from progressing. It’s so funny because I have been on a wellness health and fitness journey for the last year and this comes on when I am feeling really healthy and strong. I couldn’t understand why this would happen with my physical coming back with healthy results all around. But I’m going to push through this and stay strong! I wish every sufferer of this disease healing and strength. I know it can be scary but I believe in the power of healing and I wish healing on everyone. Love to all💗
I also put my hands under warm water tap. As warm, not red hot, as you can stand. I have to put a hot water bottle on my toes every single night when i get into bed. (I call them my ice blocks. If I’m out and about, clap hands.
Your ginger and cinnamon advice for Raynaud's really works. Thank you so much. ❤️
WOOOWWW! Please give more details Sophia - how was you consuming them? and how did it take to work?
I ask so others can hopefully read and gain from your experience xxx
@@LauraTryUK I had really bad Raynaud's with very painful sores and swelling of fingers. I tried fresh ginger and it worked a bit. Then I started taking about half a teaspoon of ground ginger and half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon a day. I have never looked back. My doctor wanted me to take calcium channel blockers but I never did because I would rather avoid these types of medicines. I know that the risk was mine and thank God your advice works.
I'm not sure how long it took to work but I'd say within the week it all started to get better. Thank you so very much. You are truly a good person for sharing this information.
@@sophiarevel6952 which ginger did you take?
And are you still getting better?@@sophiarevel6952
I hear you! I can totally relate! Mine is quickly triggered by cold. Steering wheel, shopping cart, medal tools, yes swimming too... or just plain cold conditions. Thank you for putting this together. I appreciate the tips, very interesting. I always say I'm born to live in the Caribbean... lol! For me, luckily it's mainly seasonal. Also, I agree use gloves, hand warmers in gloves and I have a heated steering wheel in my car (best option ever !). It makes me feel a bit better just to hear someone else talk about it! Thank you again.
ooooh... the metal tools - I hear you!!! Can totally relate!
Thanks for commenting. Lol to the Caribbean, what a great reason to move there 😆
I hope you find a solution.
@los† The cold handle of a grocery cart can trigger it.
thanks for the 'buddha finger' share ! love it.
You're welcome Heather, thanks for the comment 👊
You definitely have it figured out! I also have Raynaud's and it went into remission for many years, and came back this past year after Covid. I'm better now due to healthy eating, meditation, vagal tone exercises, and sauna. I am not yet doing the cold exposure, but I do jump into cool (indoor pool) water after sauna, and rarely have Raynaud's now as I am working on repairing my nervous system dysfunction.
That is interesting - I wonder if there is a link to covid. I have very very vague and distant memories of the odd white finger or toe after extreme cold, but it's so vague I could be imagining it. Then last winter after covid vaccines and such I remember feeling the cold more and being uncomfortable at around 5°C or less but wasn't especially worried. Then last year I got covid in October and the very first job I did once I felt better (I work outdoors) was when I really noticed it. In fact it was only 10°C so not particularly cold and I was fine until I got home then all my toes went white and I could barely move my fingers and toes. Ever since then they get painfully cold even indoors let alone if I have to go out, which I have been avoiding. Ironically my covid was really mild but this debilitating Raynauds definitely started straight after it. Wonder if anyone else got it or if it worsened after covid or the vaccines.
@@megamuel Since Raynaud's is an autoimmune disease, I would think that any major stressor or infection could make it come out of remission since my immune system has a DNA mutation that makes me susceptible to autoimmune issues. Thankfully, my nervous system and immune system are back in the normal range so it is a very infrequent issue for me.
@@megamuel Yes, mine started after Covid and Long Covid. Sometimes it gets better and then, without warning it comes back again.
Ceylon cinnamon is non-toxic. Be mindful with the others❤ Thank you again for sharing your experiences. Very informative and helpful🙏
I’m so glad you’ve talked about this!!! I have this I’ve never heard anyone speaking about having this.
You're incredible. Got up and boiled ginger right away for a bedtime tea. I am so thankful you took the time to make this video, really appreciate the humor as well! It's not funny to have this but the laughter is so needed!
Laura, thanks so much for sharing your experience. I can't remember exactly when I first developed the condition, but it has been at leat 8 or 9 years since the symptoms first emerged. Once I realized it was actually a thing, I went ahead and did some research, and discovered that it was Reynaud's syndrome.
I experience the effect primarily in the winter and first thing in the morning when I'm preparing breakfast. Oddly enough, I only get symptoms in my feet when I take a shower or a bath - piping hot, not the cold variety.
I've never found visits to the doctor to be of much use - MD must be shorthand for medication dealer - but arrived at the same conclusion as you, regarding the potential drug therapies that probably would have been enthusiastically scribbled on the infamous prescription pad. My blood pressure is normal, so I wouldn't want blood thinners. I'm a grumpy old man, but probably wouldn't benefit from anti-depressants, and generally don't like the idea of taking medication if I can avoid it.
I have been taking about a teaspoon of cinnamon with kefir almost every day for around 6 years and like you eat mountains of ginger - must try the ginger shots, although I'd prefer to make my own - as an alternative to poly-pharmacy to treat t2D, and so far, so good.
Unlike your experience, it doesn't seem to be accompanied by pain - just numbness and mild discomfort. Sometimes it goes away quickly, but occasionally it'll last for around a quarter of an hour.
Who knows, perhaps it would have been worse without the cinnamon and ginger. I'll definitely give the cold therapy a bash to see if there is any improvement.
I have the same issues like that......which leads me to beleive it isn't Raynauds, but something else entirely.
It is like my body goes into shock and pulls the blood away from my hands ans feet, causing nausea and discomfort in geneal of feeling like crap.
I noticed it when I lost my mother 23 years ago. It is easier for me to handle it on my hands. It is my feet that are getting more and more attacks as I age . This phenomenon IS controlling my everyday life .and I live in sunny san diego 😊
You actually have the best video on curing this problem, thanks for that.
Hi Laura, thank you very much for sharing your experiences with Raynaud. I started to have Raynaud’s after my father passed away. The shock of his dead from Covid was very hard. I have also been diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome which makes things more difficult. Watching your video I have some hope that I can cure my Raynaud. I will speak to my GP and see if I can start taking Cinnamon and Ginger. Thank you, thank you, I feel I am not alone with Raynaud’s. God Bless.
Wow!
You're why the Internet was invented!
Thanks for a fascinating life story with a happy ending 😊
Thank you for the lovely comment 🙏🏼
P.S. To the creator, thank you so much for this informative video. It has given me hope and some ideas on where to start my journey of healing. Again love to all and a speedy recovery!
I have suffered this since i was 14 yrs of age, I'm 60 this May, Thank You for your very well informed video, Kind Regards. Leighton 👍😃
هل تسببت لديك مشاكل صحية اخرى بسبب رينود
Great video Laura. Been doing the Wim Hof method for the last two months along with meditation and intermittent fasting. My hands still get cold, but not having the numb white fingers ( for the moment at least). The difference in general well being is noticable too. Definitely something in my opinion that people should consider. :)
I love this! I love that you are finding a solution to buddha finger!
I’m scared to do WinHof because of my Raynauds, won’t cold water make it worse?
I 2nd wim hof. Ive had significantly less (zero to be precise) bladder infections since ive been doing his breathing exercises
I do WHM - 2.5 years- cold showers ever day, and baths one or more a week. If anything I believe Raynaulds is the worst it’s ever been- everyone is different. Done ginger etc and don’t drink a lot of coffee - I do think that breathing during stomach vacuum poses (can help)alleviate symptoms.
The cold water hand plunge - not consistent enough to see results but we’ll see down the line.
@SocietySista ive not done much cold water therapy. My raynauds definitely gets triggered if i wash my hands in cold water. I was referring mostly to his breathing exercises. Sorry should have made that clear!!
I took naftidrofuryl for many months, I had to wear gloves most of the time, and I even had to cancel my trip to Canada, it was not a great time at all. Reducing stress, strength workout and cold showers are the things that helped me the most
Are they completely ok now??
That’s really useful information thank you got sharing. I’ve suffered for many years with it and found cutting down filter coffee from 3-4 cups a day to 1 cup has made a massive difference. It’s rare that I get white fingers now.
This is a super useful comment, thank you so much 🙏🏼
I’m not a big coffee drinker but I do often notice, not always though when I drink a cup that I get really cold hands, not white but cold
I am actually the opposite. I slowly started drinking more coffee over the years and now drink about 6 cups a day (yes, too much) BUT I haven’t had any Reynaulds for years. Not sure if the two are related, just found it interesting that cutting back helped you.
Caffeine constriction of capillary
I'm getting goose bumps watching the ice baths!
LT!! Another great video. And so pleased to see your subscribers have jumped up 👏🏼
You are soooo sweet Hannah, thank you!
Yes, they did jump up quite a bit didn't they? I was pleasantly surprised!
It’s so painful it’s insane‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
You mention cinnamon, which I am curious to try. I've read about the coumadin compound in regular cinnamon and also read that Ceylon cinnamon has less of it. Which type of cinnamon did you try and how much daily did you take.
Your content is on point for me. I've gradually progressed from swimming in the river later and later in the year. I started 2 years ago and this year, was able to swim in ice covered water. I feel great. Stay in about 5 minutes then rush home (I live 3 minutes away from the river) to safely warm up. THANK YOU for creating such relevant content.
Thanks for this 😊. Mine is secondary. I’m going to start doing these now before winter starts.
You're so welcome. I hope you find a solution. Even something to make it slightly better.
Please keep me updated if that's ok?
Thanks for this video! I've had Raynaud's since I was like 12, it was after I got vasculitis. I take cold showers on a regular basis but don't have ice baths as I really don't have access to such. I was already taking cold showers in the morning help me wake up and they're good for recovery if you're an athlete as well.
Best video I've come across about the matter. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve had this intermittently for year but it has become more frequent over the last year. Yesterday I was in the garden (super sunny and warm) and my index finger went white. I went into the freezer, pulled out a bag of peas and wrapped them around the other hand. Almost immediately life came back into my affected finger. Placebo or not - it works! 🥰
For those like me who doesn’t have much time: she starts the suggested remedies at 6:50.
but you can scroll shorts and FB for hours, right? ......
Thanks! my girlfriend has Raynaud’s(( when she went to GP, they didn't even prescribe her any meds. just gave the recommendation to keep hands warm! we will definitely start following your advice! She would love cold showers )) I do them every day!)))
Thank you, Laura! I appreciate the acquired wisdom presented with kindness. For me, it's my feet that take the brunt of Reynaud's. A cold tile floor is troublesome. I need to wear thick socks or slippers indoors. I exercise everyday--I think you are spot on. I suspect I would have it worse if not for exercise.
Hi, Laura ! Excellent video. Chilblains have always been my nightmare. Cold terrapy has been my asset, cold showers, cold exposure in general. Eventually my body has become robust to cold, I still have chilblains, but I manage them way better.
I always found shaking my arms to whip lash blood back into the fingers worked well. I guess it's a kind of centrifugal force.
Lmao... I massage my fingers back to life but next time windmilling sounds fun!
@@roonilwazlib3089 whirling dervish might work ?
I use handwarmers
Thank you, very valable content. I've learned so much from your one clip compared to many that I've seen on the topic and didn't get any long-term remedies from them. Also I love your inclination to natural remedies rather than medicine. Thanks a bunch, Laura! Stay safe and well x
Great video and I'm glad you addressed the nervous system side and not just the symptoms direct.
My first awareness was when my one finger turned almost black. I went to the doctor and she didn't have any idea. Thought I'd injured it. I even showed it to a nurse friend, and she didn't know. Eventually, it returned to a more normal color. After that It was often a whole finger or part of one that got blue or nearly black, and soon I started getting the whitened fingers, or portions of fingers. Now, I try to keep my core temp warm, and it helps, but the least little thing will set it off. Seems I have to get overly warm before it goes back to normal. I'm going to try the cinnamon, ginger use/tea. Good way to start the process. I'm older, and that cold therapy looks absolutely torturous, but first things first. Thanks for taking the time to show us how you overcame this. It's so helpful, and doctors don't seem to know what to do.
the purple/black sounds terrible. I really feel for you.
I hope the introduction of spices works.
Perhaps try a cold pack on your shoulders for 10 minutes a day - a way of introducing cold into your life but in a controlled manner. And do it when you are warm in your own home.
Please keep us updated on your progress 🙏🏼
@@LauraTryUK ... Thank you so much for your response and your suggestions. I'll certainly give it a try, and let you know what works.
@@smallfootprint2961 It's pleasant to see your comments flowing as a proper back-and-forward conversation. It makes me see that even in today's "tough world", politeness does have a place on the Internet after all 🤩
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this.
Thank you for this video. I really believe that all these natural remedies are good and may work. I do all of them for different reasons. I have been cold bathing 2-3 times a week for the last six months, I have cinnamon on my breakfast everyday, I drink ginger tea and cook with it often, I run at least 1-2 times a week and go to the gym most days. I can sometimes be halfway through a hitt session or a run and still can’t feel my feet. I know if I took my trainers off there would be large white areas on the balls of my feet and toes. I also try to relax with breath work and tapping and try to make positive affirmations. Sadly I still suffer badly with white fingers and toes. I have experienced it in the Caribbean and at home with the heating on, but mostly it is touching something cold or going into cold temperatures. I have never wanted to take medication and have experienced it since I was very young. I have no memory of life with out it. I am now 53 years. I am hoping that the cold water therapy might eventually help, and I will try Wim Hoffs suggestion of placing my hand in ice. I was married to a GP for 24 years and he didn’t have any useful suggestions other than starting Nifedipine, so I have never thought to bother another doctor about it. It has stopped me being adventurous all my life. However in the last year I have become determined to just push through it, and not let it stop me doing anything. I now go open water swimming and was in the sea on New Year’s Day. I just live with the pain! I would love to hear about any other suggestions. Thank you
Thank you Marit for sharing that all 😚
The most common cinnamon used today is "cassia"... and I have read that True Cinnamon is best... but do research this 🌈 Thank you for sharing! 🌿
I have read the same David. It's hard for me to find other types of cinnamon.
Ceylon cinnamon is easiest on the liver. Contains the least Coumarin.
Thank you. it was only recently i found out that there was a name for what i was going through. i was all ways told i had bad circulation and to eat more garlic. so thank you, i will try your tips. x
Hi Hazel, I also think garlic would be really great.
I hope my tips work for you!
Finally there is hope for those of us who have extreme Raynauds. I can't even go into the frozen food section in grocery store in the middle of the summer without issues!
I used to be the same.
Thankfully, I am still symptom free.
I hope you find a solution.
I'm from Chicago, every time I went into the freezer section at the store it would happen, but it doesn't go away for so long. It would hurt to drive. I'd have to blast the heat and put my hands right on the vents for like 15 minutes. Since I moved to a year round warm climate, it's never happened again.
so even in a warmer climate, when you go into the freezer section, it doesn't happen??...
maybe you left a liberal state and that made the stress go down haha. Where did you move?
I have allergies, excema on 90% of my body, asthma, raynauds. All on the severe side, so one can only imagine the armies of drug’s, tests, therapies ect… This past year I discovered accidentally that drinking 2-4 mugs of Chai tea (I leave bag in whilst drinking) has been very helpful in the reduction to some degree or another of all 4 of my disorders. My go to now is Double Chai tea from Stash. I also use curry, cayenne, cloves, black pepper, ginger to whatever cooking I can include it.
My Raynaud started in my late 20’s which progressed into I can’t even tolerate to drink something cold or I’m frozen for hour’s & my hands, feet turn a blackish blue color. I can’t go outside once temperatures drop below +5C,even with full on snowsuit, layers & layers dressed for -30C 😞I used to live outside no matter what temperature or time of year, to maybe 4 months where I’m okay to be outside for a couple hours if there’s no wind ect… just sun. Raynaud’s seems to be an inherited condition in my maternal side of the family both females & males for several members of my family. More so in most of the females.
My other 3 severe disorders, which I have had since a baby now being 49, have all gotten worse as I get older no one on either side of my family has any history of any of the 3 disorders or anything similar.
My body is detoxing & recovering from all the meds Chai tea has been a huge help at assisting my body on all levels. I used to be on upwards of 15-20 different drugs per day plus steroid creams, steroid shots, antibiotic creams, inhalers, & monthly hospital visits, specialists, doctors appointments since I was 2 years old.
Interesting.. I looked up chai tea and I recon it’s likely the spices in it that are helping .. ginger, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon. I wouldn’t have thought the black tea in it would help due to caffeine but who knows. Glad it’s helping. I will try infusing some of those herbs but without the black tea
Thank you Laura for a really useful video. I will give these suggestions a try. Good to know you have overcome this condition, via natural methods.
I really enjoy all of your videos. I am entrigued by your remedies and I adore your approach to life and living.
OMG thank you for this video! I had been suffering it living in MN in winters, moved to FL thinking it won't happen anymore. Well, wrong - it's worse now than ever and I was thinking it was because I was using my mouse a TON. Can't be in grocery store for long, etc. what many others have said...going to start with the cinnamon & ginger as well as ice bowl...it's been getting much worse these past few months and then at night my fingers feel like they have SO much blood in them. SO Thankful to you for sharing your story and what helped!!!
This was so enlightening. I live in NY and as I got older, I said to myself that I couldn't endure another winter as my extremities get unbearably numb and painful and turn white-ish blue at the tips. It won't be all fingers at once but a few at a time and it moves from finger to finger when I think it's wearing off. It also happens in my toes in the same fashion. I exercise regularly and even experience it wnen I'm doing cardio or even just lifting and never knew about this til today after googling causes of numbness in fingers and toes and then stumbled on your video. I don't really tell many people about it but lately I had to tell close family and a few friends and they say you've got to see a doctor or there's something going on internally. I do drink a ginger turmeric shot I make from juicing fresh ginger and turmeric every morning but even after doing this I still experience the numbness when in cold weather at the most inopetune times, when I least expect. And yes, driving becomes a chore as you literally have to sit on your hands in the car or try to apply pressure by squeezing your fingers in attempts to force blood flow into your finger tips before holding the steering wheel becomes somewhat bearable. I am definitely going to try aspects of this as well as the Hubermann routine, which I stumbled on a few weeks ago on TH-cam as well. I am dreading both the ice baths and the cold showers thought, I have to admit. lol. But I'm so happy to finally stumble across your video as I thought I was the only one experiencing these symptoms. Foroot that in life, nothing is too unique or isolated.
Great video. You are so refreshingly natural.
I have a friend who is a male that is currently starting to deal with this thank you for her concepts and ideas which I will be passing along to my friends as considerations
Thanks for the video. I have secondary Raynaud's (over 25+ years). In the beginning I was 'prescribed' blood thinners and other nonsense that only made me feel worse. Sadly, the western medical system is 'for profit' and there is no money in a cure; instead people are given 'medicine' to treat the symptoms and not the root cause or determine a remedy. Most of these 'treatments' and medications have side-effects that just add to a person's misery, while offering little-to-no help for the original issue. Am I a cynical of the medical establishment - yes. But that is not without basis or rationale. Good video. It at the very least gives people pause for thought and options.
Hi Laura, just found your channel and this is some of the best advice I've come across. I've had Raynaud's for about 4 years and had to stop endurance bike rides because it got too painful but this has given me hope! Up until a week ago I'd been doing the hands in ice method every now and again but have committed to doing it daily and already seeing a difference. Thank you so much :)
Laura - wow, I am amazed that just one week and you are already seeing a difference! I hope other people see your comment and are encouraged to try! Please keep me updated.
Is it still working?
@laurawallace4345 how is your Raynaud's at this point? How often, you mentioned starting daily, and for how long did you leave your hand(s) in ice water? Are you having good results?
I'm so sorry, somehow I never know if anyone's replied to any of my TH-cam comments then found this by (happy) accident!
What I can tell you is that at first I kept hands in for 2 mins, use a timer, watch a video, listen to music or whatever you can to distract yourself because it's quite uncomfortable for a bit, then it starts to get better. After 2 mins was doable I increased to 2.5 mins, then 3 mins and the Raynaud's really got better, but because it got better I stopped doing it 😕
I think it's something you have to keep doing (it's still there but just not as bad as before). I've been having cold showers so that's probably helped too. These comments have encouraged me to start doing it again!
Hi thank you for this video. I was just diagnosed with this two days ago. It came out of no where. I am actually up 4 in the morning because the pain and numbness woke me. I will definitely will implement your suggestions in my daily life. ❤
Thanks for posting this video Laura. I get this when I drive sometimes, maybe about five times a year on one finger on my right hand. I’ve always assumed it was the air conditioning blowing on my right hand which was causing this. I’ve seen several GPs about this and none of them could diagnose it. Now I know what the condition is called. Thanks Laura.
I started the symptoms at 50. Just had blood work, results show an auto immune issue. I'll see a specialist in a few weeks to learn more. I have been doing breathing sessions and cold exposure for almost 2 years, neat to know it may be helping. Luckily, I don't have much pain involved with my Raynaud's, but it is creepy and not fun! Thank you for the video! ❤
Me too. I met with a rheumatologist a few months back, and after tests, we are looking at a possible lupus diagnosis.
My raynauds is sever, happens just walking into another room, or from sun into shade.
I recently has surgery on my hand to remove a ganglion and fix a trigger finger, and hours later, my finger turned cold and blue. 9 hours in the ER and they put nitro patches on them, which took about 2 hours to open the blood vessels. They don't understand why it happened, and thought it could be raynauds related
Suffered from this my entire life, from before I could walk.
I had a period from around 17 years old until 45 years old, where it was a lot less present, especially from 22-32 years of age.
I did contribute it to my very high level of training, VO2max and strengh (professional soldier, SF and PTI) and being outdoors every day in all conditions.
I'm older today but have a very high VO2max for my age and an above average strength and endurance, never had any problems with weight, high blood pressure, diseases or anything cronic, and the problem with white and numb fingers have reappeared as it was when I was young, pre-teen.
Has made me wonder if a natural drop in male hormones can have part of an effect?
Running in the wintertime, I can get white fingers.
So I start out with wearing gloves. But after 2K's my hands get hot and even in really cold weather I can remove the gloves and have no symptoms.
If I do not start with the gloves, my fingers stay white and the pain when I'm back home and the blood starts flowing is awfull.
Thank you very much Laura. I also suffer from Rynauds and its definately getting worse with each passing Winter. I will definately try your tips and suggestions. Its realy awful living with white fingers and numb feet. At least we are moving towards Summer now in South Africa.🙏
Had it since my 40's, 61 now. I'll try some of this, thanks.
Thank you Laura! I recently started having the symptoms and after some research saw to take B12 and Niacin so I did and they worked well! I already take cinnamon, turmeric and ginger regularly but will be sure to not miss it in my daily routine. Thanks again!❤
Such great information. I started the cold therapy to help with scuba diving. And I have Reynards. Thank you for sharing the information.
I've always had cold hands except on very hot days...my mother had it also, as does my sister...Thanks for the video it's very informative
I developed what I believe is Raynauds about the same time I started having issues from my hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation. My heart doesn’t pump as hard as it should. Fingers, toes and nose freeze very easily. Which sucks. I enjoy being outside in the cold weather. I never went to the Doctor for it. I don’t need another diagnosis. So I’m just careful and deal with it.
Thank you for sharing, Laura . This is truly so useful. Thank you so much . 💕 Truly appreciate you're story & extremely useful tips , you're a star 🌟. Xxx
Wow! Thank u so very much. Jana - Texas
Thank you for the helpful tips! Cayenne is also good for circulation.😊
Thank you for this great video. I started getting Raynauds when I was 16 or 17 - it was scary. I have found a couple of things to be helpful, but haven't committed to them long term enough for the condition to go away entirely. Many years ago I went to a holistic doctor who sent me to a biofeedback practitioner. The therapist had me imagine putting my hands and feet in front of a fire. Sure enough, I was able to raise the temperature of my fingers and toes significantly. Also, a few years ago I went to a thermal spa with different temperature pools. I spent the afternoon going back and forth between the boiling hot and freezing cold pool. I didn't have a Raynauds attack for at least a month afterwards. I have also heard that infrared saunas are good for the condition but haven't tried that. I already put cinnamon on my morning oatmeal - I'll start adding ginger too, and maybe (maybe) try working with ice. Yikes. Probably the best thing I did for the condition was moving from New York to California.
When did you get the HPV vaccine?
@@helenarichard ?
@@helenarichard Ah, I just googled HPV and Raynauds and realized why you asked me a seamingly unrelated question. Since this vaccine only came out in 2006, and I develped Raynauds around 1970, my Raynauds has nothing to do with this vaccine. And FYI, I would have gotten the vaccine anyway, had it been available. My mother had the condition too.
This is all worth consideration as I am already medicated to the hilt. I appreciate you calm presentation. I mourn having to reduce coffee
Very Informative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video
Thank you Laura.
I have this condition through working with power tools& stress.
I shall get on with some of your advice.
Well done on all fronts
Shared with relevant people, thank you, LT.
Thanks for sharing!
I now have some hope to heal myself holistically.
Your root cause analogy makes total sense. Time for a body temperature censor reset and more. Your video was very well done and informative!! Love your calmness and clarity. Stay well! Thanks again!!
Thank you so much, I am so pleased you enjoyed the video and got value from it. I wish you the best with healing 💫
B1 is essential and a significant cause of disease. The autonomic nervous needs B1 to adapt.
I had Raynauds in both hands--mostly my left as that one was far worse. My fingers on that hand would go completely white and numb if I got cold at all.
Then in 2015 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had surgery, radiation, and began a long term chemotherapy course. After a year on chemo I had no more Raynauds. I haven't had the problem recur since then.
That, obviously, was the ONLY positive thing that came from chemo.
Now this is very interesting.. Congrats on you overcoming cancer, btw!
How long did you have Raynauds before your cancer diagnosis? Thanks in advance
Excellent, thank you Laura, I had my first experience of Raynaud's last week, will start your therapies (well the ginger & cinnamon for sure).
Is it working?
All I needed was a name for this that’s helpful
Good advice! Thanks for this video. 😎
Thank you for this video! Mine is mostly triggered by damp weather in the minus 1C to plus 1C temperature range. I do have ginger in my porridge most days and I end my showers with a period of cold water. Seems to have lessened somewhat. The neoprene clothing looks interesting. I live in the South Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada and the winters get cold enough to trigger it. I'm positive I can overcome it. I love to keep active 🙂
12:42 min Wim's dog probably thinking: "oh this again, really?"
Thanks for the advice, this will most likely improve a lot of peoples lives.
I’m making progress on my budda fingers using some of the methods you describe LT, based on an older video of yours. That is, cinnamon, ginger and sometimes nutmeg in my cereal. ( I like the taste of nutmeg!) I don’t add Turmeric as it stains your teeth. I need some capsules for that. I’ve been doing Wim Hof breath work 5 rounds most days and a 4 min cold shower daily for 9mths. For the first 2-3 months I’d get Reynauds after my shower but that’s largely gone now. I’m hoping that come the winter the above will have seen it off.
Well done on the stellar progress of the channel!! 👏 well deserved. 🙂
Hey 👋 it's so great to hear you are making progress, the Wim Hof must be helping loads?
And nugmeg... YUM!!!! A spicy cereal delight!
Please keep us posted how you get on in the winter after doing your Wim Hof breathing and cold showers please 🙏🏼
I've never heard of this. I do have low blood pressure and poor circulation in my hands, so they get cold very easily in the winter and super painful. I have these huge gloves that I wear on colder and windy days.
In saying that, I do have a pinched nerve if I overuse my hands, and my fingers can get numb, but that's rare because I try to take care of my hands and not over do things.
I'm so glad you realized what caused your issue, and are doing better.
I find gloves are not good at all . You should wear Mittens . That way your fingers are not separated and your hands stay warmer . Also there's a lot of really nice looking mittens out there . And really warm ones . I know the cold temperatures . We had minus 45 to minus 50 last winter .
@@thomasmurphy271 Definitely, I'm pro mitten also! Like you said the fingers aren't separated.
Thank you so much, I will try these ideas, even the ice bath starting with my hands! very appreciated! It is all about changing temperatures, that's when it shows up! THANKS!
Laura, thank you for this video!
Excellent video, highly informative with such tenderness. Thank you🌷
Great tips I've not heard of before I get terrible raynaud's it's started up again over last few days as temperature has dropped massively
I hope you find a cure Helen 🤲
Thank you soo much!!!!! Doctor tried to put me on meds too!! 2 years, ahh!! But I will be patient and work towards ever you are!!
Thank you for this video. I think I might have this but have not yet been diagnosed. I am still watching the video as I type this and looking forward to see what cure you will share. Thank you again!
I thought you were saying your “butter finger” (because of the creamy colour) 😂😂 great video I have Raynauds as well and will try your suggestions. I have also found reducing caffeine helps a lot.
Hey Tara, I hope some of the remedies work for you.
Any results?
Thankyou Laura. I knew I suffered from Raynaud's but only today did I realise how much. It is a hereditary thing & after watching your vid I rang my Dad. We will both give the dietry thing a go & maybe the quick immersion of face & hands but I'm buggered if I am going full body! Wishing you all the best & again, Thankyou..........
I hope you and your dad find a cure. Keep me posted.
Hi from the northwest of america wherebit gets cold in winters.
I have it and doing my job in a warehouse in winter was tuff.
Touching cold freezing metal was not a good thing.
When blood flow returned to fingers they would throb and fill like my fingers got hit by a hammer. Worst pain ever. It would happen to both hands but just fingers not the thumb.
I myself will not even consider the cold training. I would work in 30 degrees Fahrenheit warehouse for 12 hours a day. You would think that would help me build up against it but did not. I was always afraid of getting frostbite.
I am going to try the ginger and the cinnimon.
Lol my dr said ED meds will work but i said no.
Thank you for this info and sharing what worked for you..
God bless stay well
Hey there, I hope the cinnamon and ginger works for you.
It sounds as though you have enough cold training already 🥶
Did you get any results?
Truly enjoyed the video. I am new to Reynaud as my index finger is starting to get white after a cold shower and my hand seems to be a bit cooler than my other hand. I learned a lot from this video and I will be sure to follow your recommendations. thanks so much.
Great video Laura.Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️😊 God bless you always.Take care ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience. I am looking forward to my 100% healing!
I was wondering if you have secondary Reynards or just Reynards disease I have full body secondary vibratory induced great video hopefully you post more about your gains throughout the years what works for you.
Thanks for your testimony
After snowshoeing and then relaxing on the Laz-E-Boy in front of a space heater, mainly hitting my right foot...boom! I think mine was caused by rapid temperature change. Thank you for sharing your story. Hitting that cinnamon and ginger today!
I respect you doing all your due diligence!
thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for this excellent informative video. It’s given me lots of ideas to try & solve my finger & toe issues. 👍
Thank you so much for your story. After listening and watching your video, I am more convinced I do not have Raynaud's. But I do have something, that is being called Thyroidism? not sure which one? And I am on medication. I am 67 years young and for 64 of those years stayed in perfect health minus a few days of cold or flu. When I turned 65 I moved further north(now living in Central Ontario Canada) which is not the artic!. But shortly after my move I started with trigger finger which I assumed was from repetitive strain injury? then the second winter no matter what I wore, my fingers would get cold, not white and would hurt something awful while warming. Next came Bells Palsy, not co-vid or vaccine related. I have been eating cinnamon and ginger along with turmeric and apple cider vinegar in both my yogurt and a turmeric morning drink. If these ingredients are doing what they are suppose to do, then I am very concerned what my body would go through if I were to stop taking these. Your story is truly incredible and I am happy you have found, if not a cure, at least a great deal of relief. Stay well.
