I have some health problems that mess with my body's ability to maintain core temperature. I've had my core temperature measured at the hospital as low a 77 degrees. Therefore, I love weather proof clothes.
I've found that flannel-lined khakis are awesome for looking like business clothes, feeling like pajamas, and keeping me warm. However, I think fleece line jeans and dungarees work better when out the in the field on freezing days. I've also found they do a better job when working near water especially when the wind is high. Also as a side note, be really careful with lined pants around flame. Definitely don't weld with them. I don't exactly know why this is such a problem, but I've heard stories of people's pants being fully engulfed in flame before feeling it because of the extra layers.
Grounding might work for you, I shit you not. Also, are potassium deficent? Body electrical system can get shorted and apparently sometimes the feet need to touch the ground. Mostly we wear rubber shoes that are too insulating and the body circuitry can't correct.
It's auto-immune, but I have attempted to take various supplements. Magnesium and turmeric are what has worked best for me. I'm also noticing a ginger and turmeric thing available at the health food store seems to dramatically improve my stomach.
The grounding thing is really interesting and I have made attempts to spend more time barefoot. I also made sure to upgrade the grounding system on my house (three 8-foot posts more than 6 feet from each other wired together with tick solid bare copper wire). I verified super low ground impedance to my plumbing and major appliances ensuring every time I touch the faucet or stove I should be grounded. It also adds safety and noise reduction to my electronics. I don't think it helped, but it only took a few hours and driving the extra grounding rods in is always fun.
why not buy some ginger and turmeric root direct and make a tea or something with it? Fresh is almost always better and a lot cheaper. I put garlic, ginger, turmeric, cilantro and parsley in my juices.
Ginger and Tumeric have a synergistic effect e hanced by fermentation. They force dumping of a specific enzyme /protein? (names I don't recall). I remember that the body is supposed to clear it while sleeping and this dumping g mechanism is impaired in certain auto -immune diseases.
