Tingling in your extremities may be caused by a pinched nerve, which may required medical or chiropractic attention, but, it could also be a circulatory disease, Buerger's disease also known as thromboangitis obliterans. This is brought on by chronic inflammation of the blood vessels and early signs are a tingling sensation in the extremities. Supplements that may help include L-carnitine (500 mg twice a day) to help strengthen the heart muscle, which in turn promotes circulation by transporting long fatty acid chains. Garlic (2 capsules 3 times daily with food) helps strengthen the heart muscle and Chorophyll (as directed on label) enhances circulation, while Coenzyme Q 10 (100 mg daily) improves tissue oxygenation. Helpful circulatory herbs include Butcher's Broom, Cayenne, Ginko, and Horse Chestnut.
