How to Stop Tingling

Whether you suffer from a nerve condition, diabetes, or simply a foot that fell asleep, you may feel an irritating tingling that won't stop. This could be due to a nutritional imbalance or oxygen deprivation. Or you may need to shift your weight to correct poor circulation in your legs. If your tingling is due to a chronic condition, you should treat that before you try out remedies for specific symptoms.

Instructions

Nutritional Treatments for Tingling

• 1

  Take vitamin supplements. According to DoctorNDTV, vitamin B12 tablets, in particular, can make up for a common nutritional deficiency that leads to tingling.

• 2

  Avoid fennel. According to Natural Home Remedies, this plant, which helps diabetics lower their blood sugar levels, can diminish your blood flow and cause tingling and numbness in large doses.

• 3

  Drink herbal tea. Hot herbal tea gets your blood flowing and stimulates your nerves.

• 4

  Eat spinach. Spinach spurs cleansing of your blood, which prevents impurities from affecting your nerves.

• 5

  Drink water. Water kick starts your metabolism and carries nutrients to every part of your body---including the affected area.

Exercise and Medical Treatments

• 6

  Take slow, deep breaths. If oxygen deprivation is the cause of the tingling, you may be able to treat it with breathing exercises.

• 7

  Massage the tingling area. According to Cure-Back-Pain.org, this stimulates your nerves and can help restore proper circulation.

• 8

  Remove any pressure on the affected area. Any heavy weight---such as a guitar resting on your thigh---will press on your nerves and can lead to numbness and tingling.

• 9

  Get an MRI. You may have a brain condition that contributes to malfunctioning nerves.
