Do your hands or feet often feel numb, tingling or “pins and needles”?
This is extremely common among office workers in KL & Bukit Jalil.

Typical symptoms include:

• Morning hand numbness

• Tingling fingers during computer work

• Leg numbness after sitting too long

• Foot numbness or coldness

• Tingling that worsens with neck movement

• Numbness that wakes you up from sleep

• Stress-related numbness

In TCM, numbness is not only nerve compression —
it reflects Qi–Blood deficiency, poor circulation, meridian blockage or dampness accumulation.

 How TCM Understands Numbness & Tingling

1 Qi–Blood Deficiency (Most common)

Not enough nourishment → poor circulation
Cold hands & feet
Fatigue
Light-headedness

2 Meridian Blockage (Neck / lower back)

Cervical compression → hand numbness
Lumbar compression → leg numbness
Common in desk workers

3 Dampness Accumulation

Heavy limbs
Numbness worse in humid weather

4 Liver Qi Stagnation (Stress-induced)

Numbness + tightness
Worsens with emotional stress

5 Blood Stasis

Sharp tingling
Fixed location numbness

From the practitioner

“Numbness is your body’s way of telling you that your Qi, Blood and circulation need support.
Once the meridians are open and Qi–Blood is strong, numbness naturally reduces.”
