Hi I would like to find out if you think you can help my condition. It appears to be a neurological condition called peripheral neuropathy. Cold feet but warm to touch. Thought acupuncture or some form of herbal medicine. Have had all tests possible by a neurologist but have found nothing out of the ordinary and can not pin point the problem. Thanks.
