	Raynauds Disease - Raynauds Disease Symptom, Treatment, Cause
		Raynauds Disease is a disorder of the circulation, in which there is periodic interruption of blood supply to the periphery due to spasm of the smail arteries of the fingers, toes and nose.
		Raynaud's disease (RAY-noz) is a condition that affects blood flow to the extremities which include the fingers, toes, nose and ears when exposed to temperature changes or stress.
		Secondary Raynaud's disease is the same as primary Raynaud's disease, but occurs in individuals with a predisposing factor, usually a form of collagen vascular disease.

	RAYNAUD’S DISEASE: CHINESE MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE
		Raynaud’s disease is characterized by a peculiar sensitivity to cold: the small arteries that supply the fingers and toes with blood contract suddenly, causing paleness and discomfort, such as numbness, tingling, or burning sensation.
		Raynaud’s disease is mainly mentioned in Chinese literature as secondary to scleroderma, a disease which may have similar underlying imbalances from the Chinese medical perspective.
		In sum, there are two fundamental principles used in treating either Raynaud’s disease or scleroderma: warming up the body (with herbs such as aconite, dry ginger, cinnamon, evodia, and yang tonics) and vitalizing the circulation of qi and blood (with herbs such as bupleurum, cyperus, chih-ko, salvia, cnidium, tang-kuei, peony, moutan, carthamus, curcuma, etc.).

	Diagnose-Me: Condition: Buerger's Disease
		Buerger's disease is characterized by narrowing or blockage (occlusion) of the veins and arteries of the extremities, resulting in reduced blood flow to these areas (peripheral vascular disease).
		Recent work suggests that Buerger's disease may be a reaction to tobacco of persons with a specific genetic type or an autoimmune disorder with immune cell sensitivity to some collagen types, which are constituents of blood vessels.
		Raynaud's disease or syndrome is a disorder of blood circulation, mainly in the fingers and toes.

		The results showed: a) that in primary Raynaud's phenomenon there is no evidence of local deficiency in histamine release or insensitivity to histamine in the cutaneous microvasculature; and b) that patients with Raynaud's phenomenon react normally to the neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P, providing a rationale for treating Raynaud's phenomenon with vasoactive peptides.
		Ten patients with severe Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to connective tissue disease were randomly assigned to groups receiving intravenous CGRP (0.6 micrograms/min for 3 h per day on 5 days) or saline.
