Carpal Tunnel Relief: A 3-Stage Herbal Protocol

Stop Numbness & Pain Without Surgery – Ancient Solutions for Modern Strain

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when inflamed tendons compress the median nerve, causing:

✋ Tingling/numbness in fingers

✋ Weak grip strength

✋ Night-time pain flare-ups

Unlike temporary fixes (braces, ice), our martial arts-inspired protocol tackles the root cause: inflammation + tendon stiffness.
