go see TCM docs.. exercise more...

the thing is...think holistically.
view your body as a WHOLE...dun try to "fix" only this poor blood circulation, but rather improve your health, OVERALL.
eating (if you're skinny, eat more, more often -- if you're flabby, eat less, but more frequently to improve metabolism),
sleeping (7-8 hours a day - dun sleep too much, it'll make you lethargic lol)
exercise (weightlifting and HIIT cardio)
stretching (1-2 times a day)
massage (if you got the cash, deep tissue massage will be great)
posture (posture problems may contribute to poor circulation and overall health) -
swimming. what do u mean poor blood circulation. u feel giddy all the time?
or like u dun hv enough red blood cells.. do see a doctor. eat more red meat, pig liver etc.. -
put your feet in hot water for about 20-45 mins.
it circulates the blood by making em move faster -
Stand infront of the shower and use hot water for 2 mins and switch to cold water for 30 secs and do this for 5 cycles.
Your blood vessels actually expands and contract so it helps your blood flow -
Yep, exercise, stretching and massage.

Hmmm...I just read your profile, and it says that your hobby is "reading."
Well, just make sure your posture is good when you read. I hope you dun read while lying on the bed or sofa, or in an awkward position. Also, dun read for too long without a break (walk around, stretch a bit, drink some fruit juice, etc.)
There were some interesting suggestions here like hot showers and baths, which are nice things to do (which I might try myself next time!), but in my humble opinion, I believe that the "meat" or the "bread and butter" of improving yourself, is to improve your health overall.
Improving overall health = proper exercise (weightlifiting - dun worry, females won't become like Arnold, unless u take drugs or something), food/water (alot!!!! eat/drink often!!!!), and sleep.
My guess is that you're feeling tired all the time, right? Very lethargic and sleepy, even though you have a lot of sleep, right? Maybe headaches, too?
I used to be like that.... I always had headaches and felt lethargic - I wondered if I was cursed, or something like that. But truth be told, it was because of my lifestyle: sleep late, wake up late, NEVER exercise, skip breakfast (cause I wake up late, lah!), do computer too much, don't eat regularly, etc. etc. etc.
Once I changed that, nearly all my ailments and pain *miraculously* disappeared. Haha, actually, there's no miracle or magic pill.... it's just simple health sense....and discipline. Yeah, it was really hard to change my lifestyle at first, and it's still a struggle occasionally, but it gets easier as time goes by.
Good luck! -
Do more light exercise like walking and cycling, your blood is ok, jus that the vessels and the pump (heart) is having some problem. Either there is a constrict of vessels or a weak heart that need more muscle to pump.Originally posted by alba:hi i think i got bad blood poor circulation in my body, any help what i should do to get i tbetter, will i have chance to have good blood circulation in my body, how>
There is also another problem, the electrical nodes that activate the pumping sequences in the heart may not be co-ordinating well, you need to be cool and calm and do breathing exercise, watch your diet and finally be happy. -
go see chinese doctor + massage !!!Originally posted by alba:hi i think i got bad blood poor circulation in my body, any help what i should do to get i tbetter, will i have chance to have good blood circulation in my body, how> -
Eat healthy food, cut down oily food and avoid unhealthy food, more vegetables and fruits and maybe try vegetarian. Exercise and keeping negative mind away will also help.

i don't know why i feel poor blood circulation becos, last time nurse want to take my blood they say my blood is so thick or sticky or waht don't seem to flow in the tube, like blood all jam and don't move thru the tube, they say it is becos i am too nervous, scared so my blood constrict and jam, do u believe that? i do admit i am scared when they try to take my blood, they put heat on me than a bit ok.and also becos i sometimes suddenly feel my heart beat so so fast, and i feel a bit light headed, dizzy, or just feel light headed, once i feel light headed, my heart will beat so fast, like so scared, panic, when it happen all becos haywire, i am so worried, i did my last threadmill stress test showed normal, except i only do for 2 mins cos i cannot walk on that threadmill no stamina, very poor stamina, i cannot even walk for 5mins. but they say my result normal, i did it in april 2007.
anyway i am now suffering from bad stress, esp at work, and worrying abt my kid study, and how to train her and be with her wishing i am not working but have to work so i am stress abt that.
i am tired everytime, so sick, headache, neckache, leg pain, always drowsy, i sleep at 1am wake up at 6am sometimes i felt so drowsy and giddy that i sleep at 10pm and wake up at 6am. i am too stress becos there are so many negative words abt me, esp at work, ppl love to talk behind and some just hate me for no reason, don't know why.i wish i can do what i like the problem is needmoneey is money that important.
so i guess that is reason my blood bad circulation and i am so worrysome person.

Just drink lots of water when you have blood test.... it helps.
I used to give blood and one of the things they ask you to do before giving blood is to drink lots of water and that will help the blood to flow much more easily. -
take some red wine occasionally?
-
try taking fish oil tablets (omega-3), too.
It has been documented many times over that they improve your overall health, joints, blood circulation (they "thin" the blood slightly), and mental alertness.
you have to take them for a while before the effects show, however.
However, I think the main problem is "Lifestyle." It's obvious and painful that you're under lots of stress... I'm really sorry to hear about it. I'm not sure what advice I can give about your child, or your workplace (I'm not married with kids, and I haven't worked for that long either - 2 years in the workforce so far), but exercise can help relieve some stress...
