Hi welcome to HCm

Tingling numbness or ‘pins and needles’ sensation is very common and can be very annoying condition .
I can understand your concern .

The condition is associated with a number of disorders and ailments, such as, diabetes, sciatica, cervical spondylosis, slipped disc and migraine.

Understanding the exact cause and managing it effectively is very crucial.

Compression of the nerves in the hands is a major cause of numbness in the hands
It occurs due to defective neuro-transmission through the nerves.
The commonest cause is staying in the same position for a prolonged period of time.
Moving around, can allay the symptoms effectively; on the other hand, if moving around does not help, then the cause of paresthesia may be different ..
Yoga and physiotherapy is recommended. It allays the sensation of ‘pins and needles’ and enhances blood circulation immensely.

Inclusion of balanced diet having fiber ,vitamins ,minerals and supplements full of antioxidants in right proportion enhance blood circulation and help boost your immunity .
lot of water intake is very essential .
Avoid constipation , sleeplessness ,stress ,tea ,coffee , smoking ,alcohol .
However, do consult your doctor before embarking up on any regimen.
