Best Hand Warmers

We're already a quarter of the way through Raynaud's disease awareness month and I don't know about you, but we're feeling the cold. In the UK, we've all been warned that this week is one of the coldest weeks of winter, and for once the weather forecast was right! As such, it's more important than ever to wrap up well and prevent episodes of the condition.

If you're here after recently finding out about the condition, you're probably wondering how you can best stay warm. We've compiled our favourite hand warmers that'll help you stay cosy even in this frosty weather.

How Can a Hand Warmer Help Me?

If you suffer from Raynaud's, you've probably already noticed that your extremities tend to be the most heavily-effected body part. The majority of people first notice symptoms in their hands, so it's no wonder that hand warmers are so popular for those who suffer from the condition.

Staying warm will reduce the likelihood of you suffering from an episode of the condition, or if you're already suffering from an attack of the condition, a hand warmer will reduce its symptoms. An increase in temperature can raise blood flow in the area and therefore reduce the following symptoms:

• Coldness
• Numbness
• Colour changes in the skin
• Tingling and pain
