Hello everyone, and welcome to our Tongren podcast, episode 9, healing carpal tunnel naturally, evidence-based relief methods.
So many of us have had wrist issues or wrist pain and maybe didn't even know what it was about or what caused it. A lot of times in our modern world, we sit for hours at the computer and our wrist is not always at the optimal angle.
This can cause stress on the wrist, this can cause pain, and ultimately some people end up getting surgery. And why is that? It's because of an area in the actual wrist called the carpal tunnel. There's a bone called the carpal bone that has a hole that has a nerve running through it called the median nerve.
And what happens is this single nerve going from our arm to our wrist gets impacted or, because of inflammation, becomes inflamed. Therefore, we can't move our hands without intense pain. So, some of the medical strategies are to literally do surgery and open up that bone to allow that nerve to go through.
And that's very dangerous because the nerve could be injured. It's always a bad idea to break our bones unnaturally. So if we look at the cause of the cause, that is inflammation. And inflammation oftentimes deals with nutrition, but in this case it deals very specifically with a nerve.
So it's a nerve going through the bones and the nerves are inflamed. So we want to focus on the cause of that inflammation. One time I had a patient that had neuropathy in their hands similar to carpal tunnel as well, and I didn't work on their wrists, I work on their shoulders, because that's where the issue begins.
In the nerve. plexus in the actual shoulders themselves and that creates inflammation all the way down to the wrist with exceedingly deleterious impacts from repetitive motion. So from the shoulders to the wrist, opening that area up completely would really help to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome.
So we don't want to do any cutting or breaking. We want to reduce inflammation and enable the nerve itself to be better healthy positioned to allow the nerve to go through, just like that. So the symptoms are oftentimes pain, especially when you're bending your wrist.
So if you're sitting at the computer, try to have your wrist at a straight angle. A good tip is to, instead of using a mouse, which is constant repetitive motion, I would recommend to use a track ball, which is where you only use your thumb and the hand can be put into a really good position.
The impact of this on people is that they can't use their hands. Sometimes they use braces. They can't work on a computer. In our modern world, not working on the computer is not an option. We all work on the computer, sometimes five or ten hours every single day.
So our goal, as I said, is to open up the flow of the nerve, the median nerve that goes through the wrist, a very specific bone, the carpal tunnel, the carpal bone itself that has a hole called the carpal tunnel.
From a healing perspective, there are many things you can do. Number one, I would always recommend first to use things that accelerate circulation and accelerate reducing inflammation in the area. So that would be castor oil.
And I've had good results, even with people with early signs of carpal tunnel as musicians so what they would do is they put castor oil on their wrist so that it would start to reduce inflammation and allow that nerve the median nerve to go freely through that area for our hands and I put it over the whole hand because the resulting areas of the whole hands would be impacted but that helped tremendously with that person a piano player that worked on their wrist just with castor oil.
If it's a more serious issue I would use other things such as massage in two places one is in the shoulder and one gently in the wrist itself so tweina massage would be a good goal to allow that area to go freely from the shoulder the source of those nerves which is the brachial plexus of the shoulders going down to the wrist.
From a Tongren perspective, this is also the target. We would work on the shoulders and on the wrist itself to lead the chi, lead the flow, and to remove bioelectrical blockages. So, to begin, we would work on the brachial plexus, the area of, say, C6 and C7, T1, T2, right on the shoulder level area.
That would enhance the nerve flow from the neck. And then, in addition to that, we know from our training with Tongren, as we've trained people all over the world, we want to focus on blood flow and nerve flow.
So, the blood flow would be to work on the entire shoulder area, as we can do from massage and from Tongren, because the blood flow will support the nerves. That will support reducing inflammation and nerve flow from the shoulders, to the elbow, to the wrist, and then eventually to all the hands.
So, like I say, some of the symptoms are numbness and tingling in the actual hands because there is a constriction in the actual nerve flow to the arms. So, from, again, a Tongren perspective, the brachial plexus of the arms, I would work then on the shoulder, the ouch points of the shoulder, and the area of lung one, lung two, which can support the shoulder from the front and the back to continue to allow that nerve flow down the elbow.
Then I would go to the elbow itself, working on all sides, to make sure there is no constriction there. That's also a technique you can use for tennis elbow or golfo's elbow, which has a similar issue, swollen nerves and tissues.
From repetitive motion. So imagine you're typing tens of thousands of words every single day and your wrist is moving and your hand is going back and forth. That is the ultimate in repetitive motion conditions which will create inflammation.
So step one, castor oil, step two, tongren or tuina, massage. Step three, systemic inflammation, as we say from plant-based nutrition and herbs, to reduce inflammation from the entire body. So that's what we would want to do.
And step four would be ergonomics. So what we want to do ergonomically, we focus on having our hand in a perfect position and we make sure that we don't have to move our hands anymore by using something called a trackball, which is like an upside down mouse.
Therefore you only move your thumbs. you're sitting in the best position available. Step five, anti-inflammation is also grounding. At my desk right at this moment I have a grounding mat. What that means is ideally take off your shoes with your feet on the mat you are grounded.
This increases a flow of electrons in the body. It's a natural antioxidant. So what that means is you are proactively reducing inflammation with your feet grounded to the earth. So that is another way to go.
That you can do all day long while at the computer. So these are specific things you can do proactively. And lastly, systemically, one of the things you can do is what we call quantum biology. The best thing you can do for your body is to give it a reset.
We want to reset the nerves. We want to reset the endocrine system or the hormones. And we want to increase body charge. This is a consistent theme through all of our recommendations. If we get sunlight it increases charge.
Tong Ren deals with charge. Bioelectrical blockages opening deals with charge. Grounding deals with charging the body and reducing inflammation and creating a circuit. And so does sunlight. It activates the body battery which is the 70% water, easy water zone of our entire bodies.
And therefore if you do that explicitly on your wrist at sunrise or other times it will increase something called easy water which increases the charge which reduces inflammation. inflammation and that alone again will support the flow the nerve flow and the actual nerve release and liberation at the actual carpal tunnel juncture the place that the nerve goes through on the wrist so that's those are the techniques that you can do even while sitting at the computer put on some castor oil do some grounding but above all do some Tong Ren because that can enhance open a blockage at the main areas which are the brachial plexus c6 c7 t1 t2 step 1 right there you can reduce inflammation t1 to t8 so you want to do a systemic approach to healing with Tong Ren and supporting therapies number three the ouch points,
or the leading to the ouch point areas, from the shoulder, to the elbow, to the wrist, and then tap on the wrist itself, on the doll, on the wrist itself, I should say, and then you want to open up the area of the blockages of that area.
Additionally, from a Tong Ran perspective, you can focus the laser on the wrist of the doll as well. That will reduce inflammation, just as any red light therapy would do. The sun is red light therapy.
Red light therapy devices can also add in support for these things as well. And a quick tip for a two-part process, if you add castor oil to your wrist, you can add a heating pad to increase that effectiveness.
Castor oil accelerates circulation, accelerates reduction of inflammation. In addition to that, you can use red light therapy on your wrist. That will, again, reduce inflammation, increase bioelectrical flow as well.
So with all these different tools, there's no need for surgery. If you go to the core cause, the surgery itself, from my experience, can create issues. If you break a bone, if you cut a nerve, you create scar tissue, which will itself block the carpal tunnel.
Avoid all of those things and just heal it naturally because the body is our greatest healer. The body wisdom knows more than anything I could ever know. So therefore, focusing with Tong Ren, reducing inflammation, focusing directly on the carpal tunnel causes, you can actually work to reverse this.
