Tennis elbow (epicondylitis)
Got pain in your funny bone?
There’s nothing ‘humerus’ about elbow pain – otherwise known as ‘epicondylitis’ or tennis elbow. But here is something to put a smile on your face: research shows acupuncture can be helpful in easing epicondylitis.
What exactly is tennis elbow?
Epicondylitis is commonly referred to as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or – my new favourite – mouse elbow (relating to computer mice, not Mickey). Considered an ‘overuse condition’, epicondylitis causes pain in either the inner or outer part of the elbow.

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture: An Introduction to Traditional Healing Practices
Chinese medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the body’s natural healing ability. It is based on the concept of qi (pronounced chee) and blood, which is the life force energy that flows through the body.

Chinese medicine uses various techniques to restore the balance and flow of qi and blood including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and exercise.

The most common problems of the digestive system include heartburn, belching, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. These problems can be caused by stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, food intolerances or allergies, medications and some diseases. Heredity also can play a role in some digestive disorders.
Long-term stress and your immune Health
important, and we will talk more about them later in this article, but first I’d like to talk about how stress affects our immune health.
