My father suffered a minor stroke a couple of weeks ago. Although he did not suffer any setbacks and everything went back to normalcy, he gets numbness on the palm of his hand. When he raises his hand a keeps it on a sling, he feels better. Can anybody advise any remedies for numbness? Thank you and God bless.

One good thing for your father would be niacin. It will prevent another stroke and is excellent for the heart. Google Dr Hoffer niacin.Replied by Yosef, Pa-c (Brooklyn, NY) on 03/11/2012
I use cayenne pepper to treat and prevent strokes. There are many other herbs and foods with blood-thinning properties including gingko and garlic.
I would use cayenne pepper as powder for prevention and tincture for acute stroke. I have seen it work within a minute. It dissolved clots and if bleed-stops the bleed.
