Claw Hand Treatment - #7590
My younger brother recently started experiencing a condition where his fingers are curling into his palm, and he can’t straighten them fully. His doctor referred to it as “claw hand.” While we’re exploring medical treatments, I’ve been reading about natural and ayurvedic options for claw hand treatment. I’m curious if anyone here has experience managing or improving this condition using alternative therapies. The symptoms seemed to develop gradually after an injury to his arm about six months ago. At first, it was just weakness in his grip, but now it has progressed to significant stiffness and loss of mobility in his fingers. Can ayurvedic treatments or remedies be effective in reversing this type of nerve or tendon damage? I’ve read that therapies like abhyanga (oil massage), medicated oils like mahanarayan oil, and herbal treatments such as ashwagandha or bala can support nerve and muscle repair. Are these commonly recommended for claw hand treatment? If so, how are they applied? Should massage therapy be performed daily, and does it need to be combined with specific exercises or stretches? Additionally, I’ve heard that panchakarma therapies, like nasya and basti, can be helpful for improving nerve function and circulation. Are these appropriate for claw hand treatment, or would they be too intense for someone with an injury-related condition? My brother has also been prescribed physical therapy, but the progress has been slow. Would combining it with ayurvedic claw hand treatment speed up recovery, or are these approaches best used separately? If anyone has successfully treated claw hand using ayurveda or other natural methods, I’d love to hear about your experience. How long did it take to see results, and were there any specific herbs, oils, or therapies that worked best? Are there any risks or side effects we should be aware of when pursuing ayurvedic treatments for this condition?
