The body is a network of veins, arteries and capillaries – all interconnected, and all trying to complete the vital task of carrying blood to every part of our bodies. Good blood circulation means getting oxygen-rich blood to even the farthest tips of our bodies, from fingers to toes.
Normal circulation of blood carries nutrients (food) and oxygen to all the cells of the body. Blood also carries away waste products so that they can be removed from the body.
In order to support systemic health, it is therefore vital to maintain adequate circulatory functioning.
What is Raynaud’s Disease?
Raynaud’s disease is a condition of the circulation that affects blood supply to the skin and causes the extremities of the body to lose feeling and become numb. The symptoms of Raynaud’s are most commonly associated with cold and stress and sufferers of this condition will find their toes and fingers feel very cold or even lose sensation in response to a stressful situation or exposure to cold.
People with Raynaud’s disease may also notice their skin changing color to pale and then to blue when they are cold or stressed - particularly the fingers. They may feel a prickly numbness when cold or stressed and sometimes a stinging pain with throbbing and redness when they begin to relax or warm up as blood returns to the extremities.
Though not completely understood, Raynaud’s seems to be caused by an overreaction of blood vessels in the extremities to temperature and stress. In normal physiology, when a person’s body is exposed to cold the blood vessels in the extremities become narrowed and slow down blood supply to the fingers and toes.
This is to prevent excessive heat loss from these areas and preserve the body’s core temperature. Similarly, in times of stress the evolutionary “flight or fight" response is triggered and blood flow to the fingers and toes is reduced as the body tries to conserve blood for the vital organs and muscles. In people with Raynaud’s these responses are exaggerated - causing troublesome symptoms. The reduced blood flow leaves the extremities looking pale or even blue and cold as no warm blood reaches these areas.
What causes Raynaud’s?
Some people have Raynaud’s as a complication of an underlying disorder (Secondary Raynaud’s) though more commonly this disease appears independently and on its own and is known as Primary Raynaud’s. In Primary Raynaud’s the cause of the condition remains unknown.
Conditions that may cause Secondary Raynaud’s include Scleroderma, a condition that causes hardening of connective tissue, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other diseases that affect the arteries including atherosclerosis. Smoking, beta blockers, certain Chemotherapy agents and some OTC cold and flu medications can also predispose an individual to Raynaud’s.
Certain factors may also increase an individual’s risk of having Primary Raynaud’s. Women are generally more commonly affected as are people who live in cold places and those who suffer from chronic stress.
Complications
Complications of Raynaud’s are fairly rare and the day-to-day discomfort and inconvenience is the most common complaint amongst sufferers of this condition. In severe cases though, blood supply to the fingers and toes could diminish on a long-term basis causing poor healing of sores, development of ulcers and, in the worst cases, gangrene and amputation. It is important to seek medical assistance immediately if you suffer from Raynaud’s and develop an ulcer or infection on one of any of your fingers or toes.
Conventional treatment of Raynaud’s will include treatment of the underlying condition (in Secondary Raynaud’s) as well as medications to reduce the frequency of attacks and prevent tissue damage. These medications work mostly on the principle of dilating the blood vessels in order to prevent the symptoms of Raynaud’s. In severe cases surgery on the nerves in the hands and feet may be performed.
The natural way
Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the circulatory system and the blood. In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to help maintain normal circulation of blood and blood flow to cold extremities.
Herbs have also been shown to support the cardiovascular system and circulatory system, including healthy blood circulation and heart health.

"I was always one of those “cold hands, warm heart" people but as I got older my cold hands started to cause me actual pain. Every time I needed something out of the freezer or went outside in winter without gloves my fingers would go completely white and numb to the touch, though they would ache. I tried your Circu-Live remedy and it has really helped. Not only are my fingers far warmer and more tolerant to cold these days, I feel healthier overall and even mentally sharper. What a great herbal product!" Lynette
"I have suffered from Raynaud’s Disease for several years now and over the previous year or so it began to affect my whole life. I was quite useless with my hands as much of the time I couldn’t feel my fingers. My toes and even earlobes also felt cold and painful most of the time. I have been taking Circu-Live for about three months and I just cannot believe the improvement! I still avoid letting my hands get cold but this seems to be more of a habit than anything else as they have not felt cold, numb or painful for a few weeks now. It really is amazing how much this condition was hindering me in my day to day life. Thank you so much Native Remedies!" Tina

Circu-Live contains the following herbal ingredients:
Ginkgo
(Ginkgo biloba) includes active ingredients such as flavone glycosides, bioflavins, sitosterol, lactones and anthocyanin. One of the most important active ingredients, ginkgolide, has been clinically shown to be an effective heart tonic, helping to maintain a healthy regular heart beat. (Koltai M, Tosaki A, Hosford D, Braquet P. “Ginkgolide B protects isolated hearts against arrhythmias induced by ischemia but not reperfusion”. Eur J Pharmacol 1989;May 19;164(2):293-302). Studies also indicate that Ginkgo biloba can support the healthy viscosity of blood. (Santos RF, Galduróz JC, Barbieri A, Castiglioni ML, Ytaya LY, Bueno OF. “Cognitive performance, SPECT, and blood viscosity in elderly non-demented people using Ginkgo biloba” Department of Psychobiology, Universidade Federal de São Paulo-Escola Paulista de Medicina, Brazil. PMID: 12905098)
Ginger
(Zinziber officinalis) has a long history of therapeutic use in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Chinese herbalists often recommend this "hot" herb to support the body in routine temperature regulation. Also, this herb has recently been studied for its beneficial tonic effect on the blood. (Lumb AB. “Effect of dried ginger on human platelet function”. Thromb Haemost . 1994;71:110-111). (Verma SK, et al. Effect of ginger on platelet aggregation in man. Indian J Med Res . 1993;98 (Section B):240-242). Ginger is also regarded as a great supportive herb for the cardiovascular system. (Shoji N, et al. Cardio-tonic principles of ginger ( Zingiber officinale Roscoe). J Pharm Sci . 1982;71(1):1174–75.
Rosemary
(Rosmarinus officinale) is known as a traditional circulatory tonic to support healthy circulation. This herb has been investigated for its ability to maintain circulation of blood through veins and arteries. (Yamamoto J, Yamada K, Naemura A, et al. “Testing various herbs for antithrombotic effect”. Nutrition . 2005;21:580–7)
