7. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the hand is squeezed by swollen tissues, causing pain, numbness, or tingling. In a trial of one hundred people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel, results show that topical flaxseed oil reduces symptoms and improves functionality, thanks to alpha-linolenic acid or ALA, an anti-inflammatory and analgesic.
