I’ve recently been experiencing some tenderness in my hands. And it gets worse later in the day when I’ve been at my computer for a few hours. At first, I ignored it. But after some time it started to bug me. So I decided to have it checked out.

Turns out I have a mild case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – the compression of a nerve in the Carpal Tunnel. And repetitive actions, like typing on a keyboard as in my case, causes the tendons and ligaments in the wrist and hands to inflame.

In more severe cases, people experience a tingling sensation, numbness and a lack of coordination when picking things up.

The good news is if you suspect you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you can treat it naturally with this vitamin, starting today...

3 Effective natural remedies to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The key to recovery is vitamin B6. It works by increasing your brain’s production of GABA, the nerve chemical that controls pain and inflammation.

If you think suspect Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, 50-100mg of vitamin B6, three times a day, together with a vitamin B-complex supplement providing at least 50mg a day of the other main B vitamins should do the trick.

But you can also add turmeric to your diet. It contains curcumin which is a natural anti-inflammatory. If you’re not much of a curry eater, you can supplement with 400mg of the standardised extract, containing 95% curcumin, three times a day.

And, to nip this one in the bud in no time, look out for Bromelain, an enzyme found in the pineapple plant, which enhances the action of both vitamin B6 and curcumin. Take 1,000mg twice a day, on an empty stomach, then reduce the dose to half when the symptoms subside.

In the name of health, wealth and happiness,
