As said previously, circulatory stimulants are what you want and natural is the way to go-ginkgo, cayenne, ginger, there's all kinds of stuff you can take. But see someone qualified to diagnose it (herbalist), if you start mixing ginkgo with anything like aspirin unintentionally you might be in trouble. If it is bad you can get an op done called a thoracoscopic sympathectomy, I had this done years back and afterwards my mitts would heat a piece of steel up if held for five minutes.

 

I'd recommend the Ginkgo. You can actually feel it working at the breakfast table after you take it.

 

If youyr ads are cold you either need to stop them getting cold (gloves, which I don't like when climbing), tolerate the cold (not an option with vibrating machinery), reheat your hands from the outside (handwarmers, tea, certain 'exercises'), increase your overall temperature by vigorous exercise or heat your hands from the inside. When up a tree the last one is the only one for me. You need vasodilation. There are vasodilators (things that open up the capillaries in yor extremities) but I think you need a prescription. But ginkgo is a very effective natural vasodilator. And (you have to try it to believe it) it helps you think too because it improves blood flow to the brain.

Isn't Viagra a vasodilator?

I'm going for a multi-pronged assault.

Cheers for all the tips fellas.

Tommy B I'll use Deep Heat as a lube next time I see you.

 

Hope the Gingko doesn't give me the horn.

I don't need any more hard-ons that don't get used.
