Are Natural Remedies Good for Carpal Tunnel?

Natural remedies can offer some relief for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, especially in the early stages. However, they are typically not a cure and are best used as part of a broader treatment plan. Here's a breakdown of what may help.

Common Natural Remedies for Carpal Tunnel:

1. Wrist Splints (especially at night) - Keeps the wrist in a neutral position to reduce pressure on the median nerve.
2. Cold or Warm Compresses - Cold packs help reduce inflammation; warm compresses may improve blood flow and relax muscles.
3. Hand and Wrist Exercises - Gentle stretching and nerve-gliding exercises may improve symptoms.
4. Turmeric or Anti-Inflammatory Herbs - Turmeric contains curcumin, a natural anti-inflammatory. While not a direct fix, it may help manage underlying inflammation.
5. Acupuncture - Some find symptom relief, though evidence is mixed.

Natural remedies typically don't address structural issues (like compression of the median nerve).
