The Ayurvedic perspective

How Ayurveda understands carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a vata disorder where vata obstructs the nerve channel at the wrist. Treatment focuses on Mani Bandha marma stimulation, sustained herbal bandaging at the wrist and nerve-nourishing internal formulations.

Treatment at AVK

How Dr. Akshata Shetty treats carpal tunnel syndrome.

Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.

01
Marma Point Stimulation

Gentle stimulation of the Mani Bandha and Kurcha marma points to release nerve compression and reactivate hand circulation.

02
Herbal Bandaging

Medicated oils (such as Ksheerabala) applied to the wrist and forearm, held in place with therapeutic bandages — nourishing the nerve and reducing inflammation.

03
Medicinal Formulations

Nerve-strengthening internal preparations and vata-pacifying herbs to prevent recurrence.

04
Lifestyle & Dietary Guidance

Ergonomic correction, wrist-friendly movement routines and a vata-pacifying diet.
