Raynaud’s disease causes poor circulation in the fingers and toes, leading to pain, numbness, and discoloration. Cold and stress often trigger symptoms, but natural remedies like magnesium oil, cayenne, and ginger can boost blood flow and provide relief.

How to use: Spray magnesium oil onto affected areas twice daily.

2. Cayenne Pepper

7. Hydrotherapy (Contrast Therapy)

Dietary and Lifestyle Changes

  • Avoid Caffeine: It constricts blood vessels and can trigger symptoms.

  • Practice Yoga and Meditation: Reduces stress, a key trigger for Raynaud's attacks.

Cayenne

I have been using Cayenne Pepper for circulation, as I have Raynauds syndrome.

I must say, this has helped me such a lot. I still get the white fingers, but if I put my hands in my pockets, the circulation comes back quickly. Before cayenne, it took forever to get circulation back. I have a feeling, this will be a cumulative process, as I notice other good things coming. I take a full small teaspoon in water every morning, I take mouthfulls of this up until lunchtime. I don't think I will ever stop. Thank you Earth Clinic for your wonderful work in circulating all this information for us.


Lemon Water

I tried Apple Cider Vinegar for a long time for my SEVERE Raynaud's and it did many benefits for overall health but very little for my Raynaud's. I have the CURE for Raynaud's and I have completely got rid of it for good by using a very very simple natural remedy.

To give you a little background info, I suffered from really bad Raynaud's and poor circulation especially in my hands and feet. Both would turn extreme bluey purple easily and I was ALWAYS cold even when everyone else was boiling. I tried everything, herbal and medical but to no avail. Fed up of numerous visits to the doctors and paying large sums for useless medication I ventured on my own journey. I ate healthy, the greens, the smoothies, litres of water and hours of exercise but nothing helped.

One day I thought why not add the humble lemon to my water as I was fed up of drinking plain water and thus started drinking lemon water and by God I realised I was getting warm. Change happened so fast I didn't even realise that drinking lemon water regularly cured ALL my circulatory problems and now I am always sooo warm that I have reversed my problem.

Doctors are amazed at my cure and after years of medication, Raynaud's and my bad circulation, I am the warmest person alive!
