What Causes Carpal Tunnel?

What Causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome      
 

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by an aggravation of the “median nerve” where it passes through the area of the wrist, which is known as carpal tunnel, and it is made up of bone and ligament.

You feel pain and tingling in the thumb, index finger, middle and ring finger, strangely enough, is, the the pinky doesn’t have a merdian nerve so it is not affected. The pain continues into the wrist and forearm.

With modern technology as it is today, just about everyone has a computer, and with the increase in the usage of it the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome increases.

Carpal tunnel is a repetitive strain on the hand and arm and caused by overuse of the tendons and can cause pain, swelling and pressure on the nerves.

Carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway that the median nerve travels from the hand and into the arm, and the repeated movements thicken the fluid that lubricates the tendons, pressing the nerves against the bone.

What Is Edema?



 What Is Edema?

The human heart pumps about 5 quarts of blood per minute, circulating oxygen, water, and nutrients
 into the capillaries. The blood floods the vessel walls to reach all the bodies tissues.
When circulation is poor, fluid will build up in the tissues which is the condition called “edema”.
 The cause of edema can be a blocked flow of blood, an injury to the lymphatic or blood vessels,
 surgery, or trauma to the blood vessels.

Circulatory or kidney disease, tumors, and metabolic disorders all can hinder blood flow and
 cause edema. One of the most common causes of edema is cardiac insufficiency which is a
 condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump or receive enough amounts of blood
 as a result fluid builds up in the tissues and causes edema.

There are natural medicinal plants that are diuretics and can be taken to promote drainage of
 the tissues.
 Horsetail, goldenrod, dandelion and parsley are all excellent herbs and can be taken in tea or
 tincture form, which is stronger since it is concentrated.
