Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CT Ayurvedic Herbal treatment

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CT Ayurvedic Herbal treatment

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that can cause pain or numbness in the hand and arm. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway on the palm side of the wrist. One of the main nerves in the hand — the median nerve — passes through this space in the wrist on its way to the hand.

The median nerve runs from the neck down through the arm to the hand. It controls the muscles at the base of the thumb. It also carries signals about sensation from the thumb, index, long, and ring fingers to the brain.

Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the carpal tunnel becomes narrowed or when the tissues around the tendons passing through the carpal tunnel become swollen, putting pressure on the median nerve.


Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CT :

Most of the time there is no one cause that can be found for carpal tunnel syndrome, and often there are multiple risk factors that may be contributing. The the most significant risk factors include:

  1. Wrist injury: A dislocation, fracture, burn, or severe bruise on the wrist or lower arm can cause swelling in the carpal tunnel.
  2. Anatomic factors: You may have been born with a small carpal tunnel, tiny wrists, or a bone arrangement that impinges on the carpal tunnel. Deformity can also develop due to inflammatory arthritis.
  3. Sex: Women are more likely to have carpal tunnel syndrome, perhaps because they have smaller wrists than men.
  4. Age: The biggest age risk group is 40 to 60.
  5. Inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis increase the risk.

  1. Conditions that damage nerves, including diabetes, may affect the median nerve.
  2. Conditions that lead to fluid retention, including pregnancy, menopause, and kidney failure
  3. Hypothyroidism: The mechanism isn\'t understood, but the condition can cause fluid retention and might lead to deposits on the median nerve.
  4. Acromegaly (overactive pituitary gland) increases the size of the median nerve, which raises the risk of compression.
  5. Repetitive use due to flexing the wrist, most often seen on an industrial assembly line in industries such as manufacturing, sewing, cleaning, and food processing
  6. Exposure to vibration is noted as a minor cause.

Ayurvedic Perspective On The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome :

According to Ayurveda the health is maintained by balancing of three Doshas namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha. If any disturbance in this normalcy due to any food habit, seasonal change happens, it will lead to disease. Thus treatment in Ayurveda mainly based on the balancing of these doshas and some other factors, etc. A vitiated Vata dosha leads to the carpal tunnel syndrome. Numbness, swelling, pain and burning sensation are a sign of Vata imbalance. Therefore, a holistic approach needs to be applied while treating the condition. A vata pacifying diet and regime must be adopted.
