How to prevent hand freezing in winter

First, keep your hands and feet warm.

The reason why the hand is frostbitten is that the blood circulation of the hand is not smooth because the hand is exposed to low temperature for a long time. Therefore, the first task to prevent hand frostbite is to keep your hands warm and put your hands in your pockets or wear gloves when you go out in winter.

Second, keep jogging every day. Jogging can promote blood circulation, which is beneficial to the blood supply of feet. Because the foot is farthest from the heart, plus the gravity of the earth, the blood return of the foot is slow and it is easy to get frostbite. The jogging speed is about five minutes1000 m. Winter is especially suitable for jogging, and people who are easy to freeze their feet start to stick to it before winter comes.

Third, keep rubbing your hands. The subcutaneous fat content of the back of the hand is low, the blood circulation and reflux are slow, and it is easy to get frostbite. Therefore, if your hands are exposed to cold air, you should let your hands rub against each other, actively promote blood supply to your hands and accelerate blood circulation.

Fourth, insist on soaking your hands with warm water every day. After a busy day, it will be very comfortable to soak your hands in warm water at night, which is not only conducive to preventing frostbite of your hands, but also has health care functions. Generally, the time for soaking hands should reach more than 30 minutes, and the water should not be too hot, and it should generally be kept at about 40 degrees Celsius.

If your hand is accidentally frostbitten and frozen, I personally suggest the following remedies for treatment.

Folk prescription one, ginger slices cure frozen hands. The method of treating frozen hands with ginger slices is very simple. We just need to cut the ginger slices, then gently wipe the frostbite, and then we can stop when we feel the local fever. Repeat this three times a day for a period of time, and chilblain can be relieved to some extent.

Folk prescription 2: Treat frozen hands with household vinegar. If there is frostbite, we can put vinegar on the fire, and then soak the heated vinegar in sterile gauze and apply it to the frostbitten wound, which can alleviate frostbite to some extent.

Folk prescription 3: Use skin cream to relieve frostbite. The reason why skin cream can treat frostbite is that it can form a protective film on hands, which can effectively lock moisture and keep hands moist for a long time, thus alleviating frostbite and needle sticking to some extent.
