Poor circulation is when there is less blood flowing to the legs, hands, heart and the rest of the body. A common symptom that appears is cold hands and feet.

One of the most common cause of poor circulation is fatty deposits on the inside lining of the blood vessels. Other health conditions that can give rise to poor circulation include varicose veins, high blood pressure, kidney disease and peripheral artery disease.

Herbal remedies can be helpful in restoring blood flow for many people and herbalists consider this an appropriate first treatment option.

But which are the best four natural remedies for poor circulation?

There are many herbs that can help to improve circulation throughout the body. Many effective herbal supplements use one or more of them to give better results.

Here are four herbs that are currently used to help improve circulation throughout the body, especially to the hands and feet.

#1 – Ginkgo Biloba

If there is only one herb to choose from among the dozen or so herbs for circulation, ginkgo would rank as the number one. Extensive clinical studies have been done by researchers around the world.

Studies show that ginkgo biloba has the ability to increase blood flow to all parts of the body. Indeed, its most popular use is to increase blood flow to the brain to enhance memory and treat dementia.

It is very useful for improving blood flow to the hands and feet as well and most supplements will include this in their formulations. No doubt, ginkgo is one of the best remedies for poor circulation.

#2 – Hawthorn

If you suffer from hypertension, or high blood pressure, hawthorn is the herb to take. It is shown in clinical studies to lower blood pressure and as such, it can be helpful for improving circulation.

#3 – Ginger

Ginger is a popular addition to Chinese cooking in the Asian community. Herbalists call it a warming herb in that when you take it, it generates a feeling of warmth throughout your entire body.

It can be used to improve circulation for those suffering from poor circulation in their hands and feet.

Ginger is available as a tea so you do not have to take ginger capsules necessarily to get its health benefits.

#4 – Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne or chilli is a spice that is known to boost blood flow to the skin. Anyone using cayenne pepper or eating chilli will quickly notice that the herb rapidly causes a very hot, often burning, sensation in your mouth. You will start to sweat as if you were sitting in a sauna.

Keep in mind that if you suffer from severe stomach discomfort or have ulcers, you should avoid cayenne pepper as it can worsen your condition.

As with ginger, cayenne pepper is an excellent herb for improving blood flow.

These herbs can be used together for a greater benefit but always check with your herbalist or family doctor to ensure it is compatible with your current prescription medications that you are taking.
