Has anyone had any experience with those Circulation Boosters? I was thinking of getting one for my husband who has poor circulation in his feet. He isn't diabetic but also has hammer toes.

I'd seek GOOD medical advice here.
What are hammer toes ?
Does he have cold hands and feet as I do ?
But not cold all the time....
I do not think my circulation merits any rave reviews.
And I think this is a serious problem..

Not heard of it, but in my notes from tv doctors, raw garlic helps circulation in the hand and feet.

Hammer toe is when the toes curl under. He has to do some pulling of the toes to help straighten them out, but I don't think they will ever be straight again. We are getting rubber ball thing from the toe specialist to put under the toes for an exercise.
His feet are cold but he doesn't complain about that.
They say you can't use a circulation booster if you have a pace maker or any blood clots, so he should be okay.
