Numbness in hands is a condition that affects many people and can have various causes. It is a sensation of loss of feeling or tingling in the hands, fingers, or wrists. It can be temporary or chronic, mild or severe, and affect one or both hands. Numbness in hands can interfere with your daily activities and affect your quality of life.
What Causes Numbness in Hands?
There are many possible causes of numbness in hands, ranging from minor to serious. Some of the common causes are:
Compression of a nerve. This can happen when you put pressure on a nerve for a long time, such as by crossing your arms, leaning on your elbows, or sleeping on your arm. This can also happen when a nerve is pinched or trapped by a bone, a disc, a tumor, or a cyst. The most common example of this is carpal tunnel syndrome, which affects the median nerve in the wrist.
Damage or injury to a nerve. This can happen due to trauma, infection, inflammation, or degeneration of a nerve. This can affect the nerves in the arm, the spinal cord, or the brain. Some of the conditions that can cause nerve damage are diabetes, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and cervical spondylosis.
Vitamin or mineral deficiency. You need certain vitamins and minerals to keep your nerves healthy and functioning properly. A lack of vitamin B12, potassium, or magnesium can cause numbness in your hands and feet. This can be due to poor diet, malabsorption, or certain medications.
Certain medications. Some medications can have side effects that affect your nerves and cause numbness. These include some antibiotics, anticancer drugs, antiseizure drugs, and heart or blood pressure drugs.
How Can Hijama Cupping Therapy Help You With Numbness in Hands?
Hijama cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that involves applying suction cups to specific points on the body. Hijama cupping therapy is based on the belief that the body has a natural energy flow that can be disrupted by illness, injury, or stress. By creating a vacuum on the skin, Hijama cupping therapy aims to restore the balance of the energy flow and stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities. Hijama cupping therapy has been used for various health conditions, including numbness in hands. According to some studies, Hijama cupping therapy can help with numbness in hands by:
Improving blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the nerves. Hijama cupping therapy can enhance the blood flow and oxygen supply to the nerves in the hands and the arms. This can help the nerves function better and reduce the numbness.
Reducing inflammation and pain in the nerves. Hijama cupping therapy can reduce the swelling and inflammation of the nerves that cause numbness. This can also relieve the pain and pressure that accompany the numbness.
Removing toxins and excess fluids from the nerves. Hijama cupping therapy can trigger certain pressure points that can help the body expel excess water, toxins, and waste products from the nerves. This can improve the nerve health and reduce the numbness.
Enhancing the immune system and fighting infections in the nerves. Hijama cupping therapy can boost the immune system and help the body fight against infections that can damage the nerves. This can prevent or treat the nerve damage that causes numbness.
Stimulating the nerve reflex to the brain and aiding in faster recovery. Hijama cupping therapy can stimulate the nerve endings in the skin and send signals to the brain. This can activate the brain’s natural healing response and speed up the recovery process from numbness.
Regulating the hormonal and nervous system functions related to the nerves. Hijama cupping therapy can target the pressure points behind the ears that can regulate the production of hormones and neurotransmitters that affect the nerves. This can help balance the nervous system and reduce the numbness.
