Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed or otherwise irritated. It can occur with repetitive movements, with pregnancy, or with other conditions that lead to fluid retention. Wearing a wrist splint or brace that keeps the thumb parallel to the arm can be helpful. 50 milligrams of vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, taken three times a day can relieve the pressure on the median nerve and aid the healing process. Vitamin B6 can be found in brewer's yeast, carrots, chicken, eggs, fish, meat, beans, spinach, sunflower seeds, walnuts, avocados, banana, brown rice, and soybeans. Herbal Butcher's broom will relieve the inflammation associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
