Is there an herbal remedy for carpel tunnel syndrome?
155696
It depends on what is causing the carpal tunnel syndrome.  If it is caused by general inflammation in the body, try a natural anti-inflammatory such as bromelain, papain, tumeric or curcumin.  That will reduce the inflammation and the pressure in the carpal tunnel.  Any of the B vitamins help improve nerve conduction, however, if there is the compression, the nerve will remain irritated.\n\nSome non-herbal alternative medicines you could look into are chiropractic, acupuncture and massage.  Chiropractic will help if you have any misplaced carpal bones.  These bones can shift slightly causing pressure on the nerves that run through the carpapl tunnel.  Acupuncture works wonderfully on this condition as well as other hand conditions such as arthritis.  Massage can help relase the tension in the tunnel and possibly break up any adhesions that have formed causing pressure in the area.  \n\nJust remember that none of these things are an instant cure.  They will take some time and patience. But you should be able to avoid surgery.

The reason most cases of carpal tunnel don't resolve is because most cases are not actually a problem in the wrist.  I understand the wrist is where the pain is, but as an alternative doctor, I have treated this condition so many times, and most cases are a problem with one of the three areas:\n\n1.) A problem in the neck causing irritation of the median nerve at its origin, but felt in the fingers.\n\n2.) A problem with the wrist bones being fixated / locked in the wrong position.\n\n3.) A problem at the elbow were the hands muscles for  flexion/extension are attached.\n\n\nIf you can afford a doctor, go see a chiropractor. Most of the time Carpal Tunnel cases are fixed in 3-5 visits.  At my office this means about $150-$200.  If you go to an M.D. you will get an anti-inflammatory, a wrist brace, and possibly a referral for P.T.  Most of the time a NCV test is negative, but they still cut on you.  If it is positive for nerve entrapment, make sure you have a "Two Stich" surgery.  There is no longer a need to slice the wrist open, and the two stich gets you back to work the next day instead of the typical two weeks.\n\nHome Therapies:  \n1.) Vitamin B6 helps reduce swelling, particulary in the wrist -in addition to OTC anti-inflammatory.  Most of the time the inflammation is the reaction of an the injury. \n\n2.) Wrist Traction -  Gently traction the wrist.  This can be done by a friend, or by using a hand towel, but gently and slowly traction the wrist to help take pressure off the joints.\n\n3.) Use an ice cube and message the outer part of your arm at the elbow.  This will help reduce inflammation, and help eliminate significant adhesions in the muscle.\n\n4.) Use the wrist brace when using your hands a lot, and while sleeping at night, but do not wear it all the time.  This is a sure way of making the problem worse.  Wrist motion in limited use will help, not hurt.\n\nLast bit of advice -  True carpal tunnel affect only the thumb, index, and middle finger.  If you have pain in the small finger - this is not carpal tunnel, but almost assured a problem in the neck.\n\nGood luck -\n\nemail me if you need a referral of a good doctor in your are.\n\ndrvandenhoek@yahoo.com

well ma'am I am not sure of meridians but little finger is innervated with the nerver that is typically involved in carpal tunnel syndrome as well, so if your symptoms are still persisting, I would see a doctor to evaluate that. otherwise such localised things often act up and siappear by the time you have finished a million dollar workup. so if the shooting sensation is bearable and not too bad and is accompanied by no swelling, redness etc, then you could also consider sitting on it a few more weeks and it may disappear too, good luck

Clove oil as a natural remedy, or Ambusol if you do not care whether or not it is a natural cure. You just have to put a drop where the pain is.\nIf you have lost a filling, there is a temporary filling you can buy over the counter as well.

There is a vitamin that can help, yes.  B-6.  \nI recommend patients take one tablet of B-100 complex three times a day for carpal tunnel syndrome.  There is about a 50-60% success rate, long term.  It doesn't matter if you take the B complex on a full or empty stomach.  \nThis assumes, of course, that the CTS is not severe.  And I would use your brace as instructed by your doctor.  \nBy the way, don't be alarmed when your urine turns bright yellow.  This is just the unused B vitamins.
