Raynaud's syndrome is a condition where most commonly, the blood vessels in the fingers and toes overreact to cold temperatures or emotional stress (and sometimes other areas of the body). This causes the blood vessels to narrow or constrict, reducing blood flow and causing the affected area to turn white or blue. The affected area may turn red and feel tingly or painful as the blood flow returns.
Raynaud's can be primary, meaning it occurs on its own without any underlying health conditions, or secondary, where it's a symptom of an underlying condition such as autoimmune disorders, vascular disease, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
I recommend looking at the curve and health of the cervical spine and including Posture Pumps and the other FIT clinical exercise Rx's. A history of physical trauma, leading to scar tissue and adhesions as well as improper curves, is at the base of many cases. Always take a history of medications.
Any setting that supports those with Secondary Raynaud's and has an autoimmune disease. Every single autoimmune disease starts in the gut, predisposed to gluten intolerance and food allergies.
Low thyroid cascade is a common underlying cause as well.
Perform Brain/Body FIT® Foundations of Health; especially the EFA ratio and the Essential Elements test with Vit D add-on, provide primary nutrient depletion indicators.
Other supplements that can be beneficial are CoQ10, B Complex, Adrenal, and others.
