I am always looking for new ways to remedy carpal tunnel naturally and here is an exercise/tool that seems to be very helpful and I plan to try;
"Baoding balls are small balls that are thought to have been used, originally, in Baoding, China. They are also sometimes known as Qi Gong balls, or Chinese hand exercise balls. They were once made of solid iron, but today are more commonly made of hollow, chrome-plated steel. Some are made of solid steel, stone, or even solid jade. Some balls have chimes inside them and can also be used as a meditation aid.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when tendons in the wrist become inflamed, often as the result of repetitive stress from typing, playing certain instruments, or even carrying around a baby. The inflammation in the tendons causes tissues to swell, compressing nerves that run through the wrist to the fingers. The result can be irritation, numbness, tingling, pain, or even loss of some motor function in the hands. Untreated carpal tunnel can lead to permanent nerve damage.
In many cases, carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated and reversed. Any treatment that improves circulation, relieves inflammation, and helps to strengthen the muscles of the fingers, hands, wrists and forearms is likely to be of some help. Getting enough rest is important as well..."
