Explanations
Different kinds of chills affect mostly women younger than twenty years of age or women past menopause (change of life). Some feel cold all over; others have cold feet or hands; others feel ice-cold in the back, stomach, and waist areas. Some feel cold around their heads while others feel cold at the backs of their knees but their faces feel hot.
Considerations
The basic cause of such chills remains hard to pinpoint. Blood circulation disturbed by a change in the nerve fibers or stagnant blood is one possible cause (see Blood Stagnation). Anemia might be another. A cold feeling limited to certain areas of the body might be caused by an imbalance in body fluids, a metabolic or autonomic nervous system disorder, gastrointestinal weakness, gastroptosis, or even a general lack of vitality.
Treatment
If a specific problem or disease is causing the chills, it is treated first. Otherwise, sedatives may stabilize blood circulation and relax the nerves. Vitamin B is good for the nerves and Vitamin E aids dilation of the blood vessels. The most important therapy, of course, is to keep the body warm.
