What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal tunnel is a passage in the wrist through which the median nerve and several tendons pass. Carpal tunnel is located on the palmar side of the wrist or the inside of the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome arises when the median nerve passing through the carpal tunnel passage gets pinched or compressed.
Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome arises when the median nerve gets compressed or pinched while passing through the carpal tunnel. This compression of the median nerve may result from an injury, swelling or inflammation of the carpal tunnel which makes the tunnel narrow. Few risk factors that may contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome include diabetes mellitus, thyroid problems, rheumatoid arthritis and obesity. A major risk factor contributing to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome is repeated hand and wrist movement as related to someone’s occupation like typing on a computer, playing the piano, use of tools by carpenters and others or use of vibrating tools. Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in women than in men because of the relatively small size of the carpal tunnel passage in their wrists.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The major symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are a tingling sensation or numbness in the fingers of the hand (thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger), weakness in the hand, burning sensation in the thumb and fingers except the little finger, and pain in the wrist and hand. In the long term, untreatable cases of atrophy of muscles of thumb may also arise.
Homeopathic Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Homeopathy is a highly advanced science that has treated many surgical cases, including those of carpal tunnel syndrome. Homeopathic medicines for carpel tunnel syndrome have shown magnificent results. Homeopathic medicines target the swelling and inflammation of the carpal tunnel, thus reducing the compression of the median nerve. As a result, the symptoms including numbness, tingling, burning and weakness of hands and fingers start to show improvement. I have seen marvelous recoveries with Homeopathic medicines for carpel tunnel syndrome in my clinical practice. Homeopathic medicines Causticum, Ruta, Plumbum Met, Hypericum, Bellis Perennis and Arnica are in my experience the most effective Homeopathic medicines for carpel tunnel syndrome.
Homeopathic Medicines for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Causticum and Ruta – Top grade Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome
Both Causticum and Ruta are highly effective Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome. These medicines have shown appreciable results in my clinical practice. One of the most tried and tested Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome, Causticum, is helpful when there is excessive loss of muscle strength in the hands. People complain of a tearing pain and numbness in the hands. The wrist may also feel contracted in cases where Causticum will offer effective treatment. Ruta is another of the recognised Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome which works well when over straining or inflammation of the wrist tendons leads to carpal tunnel syndrome. Ruta works well when there is a marked pain in the wrists and hands.
Hypericum – One of the best Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome resulting from trauma
Hypericum is among the best Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome in cases where the characteristic symptom is a tingling sensation or numbness in the thumb and fingers. Other symptoms include a burning sensation in the fingers. The person may also complain of a sensation of something crawling on the fingers. Where carpal tunnel syndrome results from trauma, Hypericum is the best among Homeopathic medicines for carpel tunnel syndrome to prescribe.
Plumbum Met – One of the top Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome in its advanced stage
Plumbum Met is an excellent choice among Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome in its advanced stage. It is prescribed when the finger muscles have started to atrophy or degenerate. A marked weakness in hands and fingers appears. The person suffering this condition is unable to lift anything with his hand due to weakness. A tingling sensation and numbness in the hands and fingers is also noticed in such severe cases where Plumbum Met would be the most suited Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome. A tearing pain or lightening like pain runs through the fingers in such cases.
Arnica, Bellis Perennis and Ruta – Most effective Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome
Apart from Homeopathic medicine Hypericum mentioned above, Arnica, Bellis Perennis and Ruta are the other significant Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome resulting from injury. Arnica is most helpful when soreness and weakness in the fingers is prominent. The person lacks the strength to grip things with his hand in such cases. Bellis Perennis and Ruta are the most useful Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome from injury when the tendons in the carpal tunnel passage get inflamed following trauma thus, compressing the median nerve. As a result, pain, numbness and a tingling sensation arise in the fingers and thumb. Bellis Perennis and Ruta are also the best Homeopathic medicines for carpal tunnel syndrome from repeated strain over the carpal tunnel passage.
I too taking Arnica, ruta,hypericum for carpal tunnel syndrom ,it helpful to me.

Hello Doctor, As I was diagnosed with Carpel tunnel syndrome two years back I was on homeopathic treatment with hypericum 200, pain in thumb and index finger showed extensive good effect. It does appear and reappear in about a years time. But now since 10 days I am again suffering from the syndrome. Now the pain has extended below thumb region, wrist and upto elbow. Its more painful than before. Please suggest if there should be some other medicine to be included.
Dear Dr. Sharma,
My age is 75. I am fair with height 5′-7″ and non vegetarian.
In boyhood I suffered from various skin diseases. then from dysentery for long time. I treated by Homeopathy. Then I faced a sever heart palpitation during my age 40-45. That
Problem was cured by homeopathy. Then at age 48 suddenly I got a cramping pain in upper left chest and both sides of the neck in thyroid region. I admitted to a hospital. The doctors suspected pain because of coronary artery blockage. I have high cholesterol ranging 280-320 where LDL is high. I have ischaemic heart, found by ECG. I did not continue their treatment . I went to herbal and homeopathy treatment. Still I have been suffering from this problem. Pain occurs if I get anger,excited or in any physical exercise. During that time I can;t sit or lying down, if I try to do so pain gets aggravated. In addition to that problem after 10 years I was attacked by phimosis and still it is continuing. Homeopath doctors treated me by Merc. Sol 30/200 and cinnabaris 30/ 200 but no significant result.
Please excuse me if I disturb you in anyway describing my condition I shall be obliged if you kindly give me your advice if possible prescribing some medicines.
Regards,
Mr. Sarkar

I’ve been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and the doctors indicate the left side is much worse. I really don’t have major problems in life activities. My biggest complaint is a numbness when I’m driving or operating my zero turn mower. The doctor tells me my nerves could be damaged if I don’t do something. I do have frequent stiffness in my palm and back of my hand. Nothing I can’t manage. I workout with a trainer where I lift weights and I’ve attributed the stiffness to that. What do you suggest I try before I consider surgery?
