Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition if you experience pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand. The CTS occurs when the tissues around the median nerve of the hand swell and press on the nerve causing this uncomfortable condition. If you don’t treat these symptoms they can persist and worsen over several weeks, and even years. This problem with the nerve can even erode causing permanent damage.

The best way of treating this syndrome is to start when you first time see any of the signs, so you can avoid further discomfort and irreversible damage. Usually your doctor will recommend you wear a splint or may give you corticosteroid injections, however there are a number of home remedies that you can try to further alleviate discomfort and pain.
We offer you 8 natural remedies that can be even better than any medication recommended by the doctors:

  1. ICE

You can apply an ice pack to your wrists, wrapped in a thin towel, which can ease pain and soothe inflammation. According to the Readers’ Digest Best Health Magazine, you should leave the ice on your wrist for 10 minutes and repeat the treatment every hour until discomfort subsides.


  1. HEAT

Instead of ice some people use heat, because they respond to it better. Soaking your hands and wrists in warm or hot water for 12- 15 minutes before going to bed each night, may reduce the likelihood of being awoken from pain during the night.

  1. WALNUTS

As these tasty nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, they have the ability to decrease inflammation. In case of experiencing the CTS symptoms, it may become your habit to toss a handful into your salad or on top of yogurt.
Walnuts are perfect as a substitute for breadcrumbs when baking fish filets or chicken.

  1. POTATOES

Vitamin B6 is linked to more than 100 enzyme reactions. According to the Everyday Health, some of these enzyme reactions are very important in relieving CTS symptoms. Vitamin B6 is found in potatoes, in most fruits (with the exception of citrus), poultry, and fish.

  1. TURMERIC

The favorite Ayurvedic spice has a potent anti-inflammatory agent, which has the property to reduce inflammation and pain. The Reader’s Digest Best Health Magazine states that for the greatest benefit you should take curcumin supplements.

  1. PINEAPPLE

This tropical fruit is rich in a powerful enzyme known as bromelain. Bromelain possesses ability to break down inflammatory proteins. It is helpful in not only reducing pain caused by CTS, but also in healing the syndrome more quickly.

  1. WHOLE GRAINS

The whole grains, legumes, and green vegetables are rich in magnesium, which is important in nerve function and muscle relaxation. By eating a magnesium-rich diet or by taking a magnesium supplement you can effectively target CTS symptoms.

  1. FLAXSEED OIL.

Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduces inflammation. According to Reader’s Digest Best Health Magazine, drinking a tablespoon of flaxseed oil mixed in with your morning orange juice or your evening salad dressing will be a perfect remedy for CTS.
The CTS can be disruptive and irritating to your personal and work life. You can include pineapple, turmeric, walnuts, and flaxseed oil in your everyday diet.

Wrinkles are folds, ridges, or creases in the skin which are considered as one of the first signs of aging.  Factors which affect when and where people will develop them include smoking, sun damage, some medications, environmental factors, genetic factors, and dehydration.
This 3 Ingredient Eye Cream Will Reduce Wrinkles & Make You Feel 5 Years Younger!!!

Typically, wrinkles appear in the body parts which are the most exposed to sunlight, particularly the face, back of the hands and arms, and the neck.

What Causes Wrinkles?

The skin goes under three major changes during the aging process:
  • The skin cells divide more slowly, which causes the dermis layer to thin out
  • The deepest layer of the skin loosens, which in turn affect each layer
  • The oil gland shrinks, which reduces the protection this oil gives to our skin


Overexposure to sunlight may facilitate the natural process of aging.  The detrimental UV rays from the sun cause damage to the college. The body responds by rebuilding collagen fibers and releases free radicals at the same time. This causes further damage to the cells and this is the reason why you should use sunscreen regularly!
As mentioned in the very beginning, other factors which contribute to premature wrinkles include smoking, environmental factors, and exposure to toxins. Exercising, eating a whole foods diet, and quitting smoking are some of the things you need to do if you are to keep your skin healthy.

How Do You Fix It?

First and foremost, you need to quit the bad habits which are causing the wrinkles in the first place. In other words, you need to restore healthy oils on the skin, supply the skin with antioxidants, and include anti-inflammatory ingredients, if needed.
The recipe below calls for three simple ingredients which do just that:
  • Vitamin E works as an amazing antioxidant which helps fight off free radicals
  • Coconut oil hydrates the skin and possesses anti-inflammatory properties
  • Thyme essential oil is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent which has been shown to firm skin

3-Ingredient Natural Eye Cream Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 units Vitamin E (squeezed from capsules)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 drops thyme essential oil

Preparation Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients and massage the mixture under the eyes, making sure it doesn’t get into your eyes. 
  2. Do this an hour before bedtime on a regular basis.
Note: 
  • Essential oils are highly concentrated and need to be kept out of reach of children, the elderly, and pets.
  • Make sure they don’t get into your eyes and in case they do, wash out with olive oil.
  • Since they are very potent, they may cause irritation in those with sensitive skin. 
  • Make sure you do a patch test prior using it.

I raised a bit of a ruckus last week at a women’s business network meeting when I asked a panel of health experts if having no fingernail moons meant you were low in iodine, and hence, more likely to developearly breast cancer. 
Low Energy? Look At Your Fingernail Moons
Credit:airplus.me
No one really knew the answer to my admittedly obscure question, but everyone became interested in looking at their fingernails and comparing them to their neighbors. Because people found this topic so fascinating, I decided to hunt down the answer. I have since updated this post and created a new post about self medicating with iodine – bad idea!

What do moons on your fingernails mean?

Moons on your fingernails are located at the base of your fingernails, closest to your fingers. They are the lighter half moon shaped growth under your nails. In palmistry, overly large moons can mean an overactive thyroid and high blood pressure. Small or no moons are thought to predict an underactive thyroid and low blood pressure. Scientists have found that a lack of a fingernail moon may indicated you are low in Vitamin B-12 or in iodine which feeds the thyroid. Vitamin B-12 deficiency has been linked with lack of energy, depression, and loss of coordination and memory, among other things. Iodine deficiency has been linked with breast cancer. One palmistry specialist determined there is a link between small moons and carbon monoxide exposure.


An article on Fingernail Analysis in Natural Health Techniques tells us what to look for regarding your moons. “There should be 8 of these. The lunulae on the little fingers should be missing according to Eastern Medicine Philosophy. The one on the thumb nail should be 25% or less than the total length of the nail from base to flesh line at the top”.

What You Can Do:

Small or No Moons: There is very little research on this topic; however, one study has shown that missing moons are associated with various systemic disorders including issues with your thyroid or pituitary gland, iron deficiency, chronic renal failure, depression and possible B-12 deficiency. Have your iodine and Vitamin B-12 levels checked. Have your thyroid function and blood pressure checked. Vitamin B-12 Deficiency Can Be Sneaky, Harmful by Harvard Health details the symptoms and risks of B-12 deficiency which is somewhat rare but debilitating. Reduce your carbon monoxide exposure by staying more than 20 feet from the car in front of you, not idling your vehicle, and when in traffic using the “internal air circulation” setting on your heater, vent and air conditioner.
(A side note on B-12 deficiency: I’m updating this post to include a note on MTHFR genetic testing. One of our commenters pointed out that she had that test and discovered that due to the MTHFR gene mutation she could only absorb vitamin B-12 and folic acid in its methylated form. I had the same test done recently and discovered the same thing. If you plan to have children, its crucial to get tested for this because if you’re body isn’t absorbing folic acid that can be very detrimental to your fetus’ development and can lead to chronic miscarriage).
Large Moons: have your blood pressure and thyroid checked. It’s a little more difficult to tell if your moons are overly large, so if your blood pressure and thyroid have been normal, there is no need to panic.
One of my excellent readers commented that she hoped for a post of what “normal” lunulae look like. Everyone is different so it’s hard to pinpoint normal, but I’m posting a couple of pictures thanks to Laws Dystopia Blog who wrote about a study linking the lack of fingernail moons with depression.

The main reason for blood clots is either a bruise or a deep cut. Whenever you get a cut on your skin, you might have noticed that the blood clots after a given period turn into a scab.
9 Symptoms Of Fatal Blood Clots See A Doctor If You Have Them!!!
Credit:living4healthy.com
 It not only gets irritating but makes you uncomfortable when it comes in contact with your clothes—due to its rough texture. Nonetheless, these minor blood clots aren’t something you need to worry about!
What you should be rather concerned about those blood clots, which are formed, deep inside your body—thrombosis—are not only dangerous but fatal! They can lead to pulmonary embolism, heart attack, strokes and the list goes on.
According to Dr. Luis Navarro, founder of the Vein Treatment Center; “When blood clots form in this deeper system, they can be painful and very dangerous.” Therefore, blood clots must be identified appropriately and not taken lightly. The more you delay, the riskier it becomes.


Following are some symptoms of fatal blood clots. Try to memorize this checklist and immediately see a doctor if, God forbid, you have them!

Bulging Limb

  • If any of your limbs are swollen or bulged out, it’s high time you schedule a meeting with your doctor! It might be due to the formation of blood clots or vein thrombosis under your swollen limb. It can affect blood circulation, so your vital organs receive insufficient oxygen -leading to a stroke or cardiac arrest.
  • Stay cautious if one of your hands or feet become abnormally bulgy and also cause pain.

Arm or Leg Ache

  • Pain in leg or arm, which feels like a severe cramp, is something you need to worry about! It is usually a symptom of thrombosis if it has a painful and tender touch.
  • Note that a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is due to the formation of blood clotting in one or more of your deep veins. It more often occurs in legs.
  • Therefore, one must not confuse it with just another cramp.

Red Threadlike Streaks on Skin

  • If you notice red thread like streaks running through your veins, it should not be taken lightly by considering it as a mere bruise.
  • According to researchers, these stripes appear to be reddish and make the skin over it warmer than normal.

Breathing Difficulty

  • Another symptom of an acute blood clot is shortness of breath.
  • If one finds it difficult to take a long deep breath, it’s a sign that lungs have some blood clots formed in it.
  • Also, it might also happen along with heart pounding, dizziness or even an irregular sensation inside the chest.

Chest Pains on Breathing Deeply

  • If breathing becomes painful, especially around the chest, it’s a clear and valid reason to see your doctor without any excuses.
  • In fact, pulmonary embolism can occur if this is not treated on time. I
  • t happens when a blood clot is broken, and a part of it is traveled from legs to the lungs—causing artery blockage.
  • You need immediate medical attention without any delay!
  • A hematologist, Dr. Jack Ansell, said while discussing on pulmonary embolism; “can be life-threatening and in 10-15% of cases, cause sudden death.” Being a member of the National Blood Clot Alliance’s Medical & Scientific Advisory Board, he further said; “The first sign of a pulmonary embolism can be death.”
  • Now, do you know how important it is to know the difference between a blood clot and thrombosis?

Inexplicable Coughing

  • When one starts coughing out of nowhere, they need to worry! If that person is not suffering from a cold or any such problem which causes coughing, doctors recommend an immediate check-up.
  • Moreover, an individual may also have an irregular heart rate and find difficulty in breathing.
  • One must check all of these symptoms. If they coincide, get your doctor have you diagnosed.

Light-Headedness or Passing Out

  • Having difficulty in breathing might also lead to light-headedness.
  • One feels dizzy and may even faint or pass out without any apparent reason.
  • If you have any of these symptoms, consult your doctor.

Rapid Breathing

  • In some cases, heart rate becomes abnormally fast that it makes you breathe rapidly—despite prolonged immobilization.
  • If this happens along with other symptoms mentioned previously, you must not delay in visiting your doctor.

Rapid Heart Rate

  • As described earlier, if a person’s heart rate exceeds the normal range, it indicates something suspicious.
  • That too, without any physical exertion or exercise.
  • One must get checked if it adds up to other signs as stated above.
  • Now you must be wondering what steps you should take once these symptoms are identified. Well, keep reading further:

The Questions To Remember

  • Upon realizing any of these symptoms, immediately see a doctor.
  • When you visit your doctor, make sure to ask the following questions:
  • Do you think it could be a blood clot?
  • Do I have to go through diagnostic tests?
  • However, you obviously don’t need to ask them if your doctor explains everything to you already.
  • We still hope you return from your doctor happily!

What causes the blood clot to occur?

  • There are a lot of things that can cause blood clots. Immobility for a very long time and smoking are one of the main reasons behind the formation of these clots.
  • Moreover, taking certain drugs like, birth-control pills, frequently can also lead you to the formation of clots in your blood.
  • High blood pressure and high cholesterol and even a simple injury can be the reason behind the formation of a blood clot.
  • Sometimes a trauma can also coagulate the blood at one place and results in a clot.
  • Blood clotting can also be genetic.
  • Doctors have found that there are some inherited blood clotting disorders which can lead to severe symptoms.

Cures and preventions

  • We can prevent blood-clotting by a lot of means.
  • First of all, start taking a little more care of your body so that you don’t ever come across any disease.
  • Exercising daily and working on your bad habits is the foremost thing to add to your life.
  • Even doctors claim that these things can decrease the rate of getting any disease by a thousand times.
  • Keeping a check on your diet, not consuming too much cholesterol and adding water to your diet can reduce the rate of getting a blood clot by many times.

Getting some blood-thinners in your body

  • Blood thinners are one of the cures for the permanent removal of blood clots.
  • And the best thing about them is that they are natural and have no side-effects towards your body.
  • You don’t have to go to any fancy shop to buy them and can find them right in your houses. Ready to know what they are?
  • The most efficient blood-thinners are water and ginger-garlic juice. Water has thinning qualities in it.
  • If we keep our body hydrated all the time the blood doesn’t clump, and there occurs no extra thickening in platelets.
  • Similarly, ginger and garlic also help in the removal of blood clots.
  • These contain a compound called gingerol in them, which provides warmth to your blood, and thus the blood flows smoothly.

Use of Anti-Oxidants

  • Eating fruits and vegetables decreases the oxidation process in the blood, and there occurs no formation of free radicals inside the body.
  • It results in the smooth flow of the blood and removal of any clot in it.
  • Moreover, having green tea, dark chocolate and vitamin C in your diet can also help you in the better flow of your blood.
  • All these work as anti-oxidants in the body and help prevent clotting.

What to avoid

  • After reading all of the symptoms mentioned above, you must be scared and wishing to avoid blood clot formation in the first place.
  • No worries! There’s a solution to this problem too:
  • Avoid immobilization or sitting in the same position for more than four consecutive hours.
  • The key is to keep moving as immobilization increases your risk of blood clot formation.
  • Therefore, if you have a long flight or job duty at a desk, try to take out some minutes for a small walk.
  • Apart from that, you could even stretch out if there’s no space to stand or walk.
  • Also, you must stay vigilant enough and see a doctor immediately after identifying all (or some) of these symptoms coinciding.
  • Even if there’s no apparent problem, you must get yourself checked by a physician on a regular basis.
