Want to take care of yourself without resorting to a full arsenal of medication? Here are a few simple yet effective ideas:
A good wrist and forearm massage: guaranteed relaxation!
Simple exercises: opening and closing your hands, rotating your wrists, squeezing a soft ball…
A soothing ginger and turmeric infusion to enjoy at your leisure.
Alternating hot and cold hand baths to stimulate circulation.
A targeted diet: eggs, nuts, spinach, legumes… true allies for your nerves.
A little tip: before starting any dietary supplements, consult your doctor.
Good habits to adopt daily
Sometimes, it’s the little things that make all the difference:
Adopt good posture at your desk and in bed.
Take regular breaks, especially if your hands are used a lot.
Drink enough water.
Incorporate some gentle movement each day: walking, yoga, stretching.
What if your body were speaking to you in a different way?
In a more symbolic approach, our hands also reflect our connection to the world: acting, creating, giving, receiving. When they become stiff or numb, perhaps they are telling us it’s time to slow down, to rediscover our freedom to act… or simply to ask for a little tenderness.
