Natural & Herbal Remedies for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin)

Do you experience recurrent numbness, pain, or tingling in your fingers, wrist, or hand? Does this sensation persist at night, and can it be “shaken” out? Do you also feel a sense of weakness in your hand, or have you lost the ability to feel heat or cold in your hand? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. If left untreated, this common condition can quickly become disabling. Once diagnosed, the first treatment often recommended is surgery. However, such extreme measures aren’t always necessary.

In this pamphlet, author Norma Pasekoff Weinberg provides strengthening hand exercises, gentle stretches, and herbal recipes that can ease pain and encourage the body’s natural healing process. By paying attention to ergonomics and incorporating these simple remedies, most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome can be resolved, or even avoided, naturally and effectively.
