ADVERTISING: Advertorial — A natural approach to healing peripheral neuropathy
Many people today are suffering from toes/feet or fingers/hands that burn, tingle, feel numb and yet painful at the same time. It often comes with pricking sensations or stabbing, shooting pains. There may be sensitivity to touch, muscle weakness or loss of balance or coordination, often because people can’t feel the bottoms of their feet. The feet and lower legs are the most common area of involvement. It is caused by damage to the peripheral nerves and can result from a wide variety of underlying factors.
To understand how to best help Peripheral Neuropathy (PN), we have to understand these underlying factors. The leading cause is diabetes, or diets high in sugar intake. Diabetes damages the small blood vessels that supply nerves, especially in the feet and legs. But other conditions also damage the nerves — severe infections (HIV, shingles, Lyme disease, Hepatitis B & C), toxins (arsenic, lead, mercury and excess alcohol consumption), medications (chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, anticonvulsants, cardiovascular drugs), physical injury or trauma (accidents, surgery, repetitive motion), poor blood circulation, chronic liver or kidney disease, certain cancers and autoimmune diseases.
