What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a disorder characterized by pain, numbness, weakness and tingling in hand especially affecting the thumb, index finger and middle finger.

The wrist consists of fibrous tissue bands which act as support for the bones and joints. The space between the wrist bones and tissue band is known as carpal tunnel. The Median nerve travels through this tunnel and receives sensation from the thumb, middle fingers and index fingers.

Swelling or pressure on the tissue band can squeeze or irritate the nerve which causes a set of symptoms collectively known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Worsening of the condition can even cause weakness of the hand muscles leading to difficulty in grasping objects. If left untreated, it could result in damage to the nerve and significant loss of the function of the hand.

Symptoms

Numbness in the affected hand

Causes

Certain diseases like leukemia leading to deposition of abnormal substances around the tunnel

Homeopathic Treatment Approach

Homeopathy is considered to be a best alternative for relieving the pain and discomfort of carpal tunnel syndrome. Homeopathic remedies which are best suitable in the healing process of this condition involve:
