Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition involving compression of the median nerve at the wrist, often associated with pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. In this recorded course, you explore carpal tunnel syndrome through an integrative lens that draws on anatomy, physiology, lifestyle factors, and traditional herbal frameworks. Rather than focusing solely on symptom suppression, the class examines why this condition develops, why it often appears on both sides of the body, and how inflammation, tissue congestion, circulation, and nerve health interact over time.
You are guided through a clear explanation of wrist structure and nerve pathways, along with discussion of contributing factors such as metabolic imbalance, nutritional status, repetitive strain, and constitutional tendencies. The course also introduces a wide range of non-invasive, supportive strategies used in traditional herbal and lifestyle systems, including internal nourishment, topical applications, movement awareness, and daily habits that may help reduce irritation and support tissue resilience.
The emphasis throughout is educational and observational, giving you tools to better understand carpal tunnel patterns and how natural approaches have traditionally been used to support comfort and function. This class is for students of herbalism, holistic health practitioners, and individuals seeking a deeper educational understanding of carpal tunnel syndrome from a natural health perspective.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common nerve entrapment condition of the upper extremity, yet it is often misunderstood as purely a repetitive strain issue. In this in-depth recorded course, you examine carpal tunnel syndrome as a multifactorial pattern involving nerve compression, inflammation, circulation, tissue alignment, and systemic influences. The material integrates structural anatomy of the wrist with broader physiological and traditional perspectives that help explain why symptoms develop and persist.
You learn how the median nerve travels through the carpal tunnel, why even small amounts of swelling or tissue congestion can cause significant discomfort, and how symptoms such as tingling, numbness, and weakness progress over time. The course also explores emerging viewpoints on genetic predisposition, metabolic factors, and constitutional tendencies that may influence susceptibility, alongside lifestyle elements such as movement patterns, posture, and recovery.
From a traditional herbal and holistic standpoint, the class introduces supportive strategies historically used to calm irritation, nourish nerves, and promote healthy circulation to the hands and wrists. Internal nutritional considerations, warming and cooling approaches, topical herbal applications, and gentle movement practices are discussed in an educational, non-prescriptive manner. Preventive considerations are also addressed, helping you understand how daily habits may influence long-term joint and nerve health.
This course does not offer diagnoses or treatment plans. Instead, it provides a structured framework for understanding carpal tunnel syndrome more fully, allowing you to think critically about support strategies within a natural health context and apply that understanding appropriately within your scope of practice or personal learning.
What you’ll learn:
The anatomy and physiology of the carpal tunnel and median nerve
Contributing factors that influence nerve compression and wrist inflammation
How circulation, tissue alignment, and constitutional patterns affect symptoms
