    Tennis elbow (epicondylitis)

    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.

     What are the causes of tennis elbow?
    Tennis elbow (or epicondylitis) is caused by repeated contraction of the forearm causing tiny tears in the tendon that attaches to the elbow.

    Let’s Talk About Healthy Breakfast!

    Desperate to find a breakfast that isn’t a bowl of sugar but also doesn’t require a sous chief to prepare, I stumbled across quinoa puffs and came up with this super simple recipe.

    The first meal of the day is an important one – we haven’t eaten for at least 10 hours and our digestive system is ready and raring to go. With the right food, we start the day clear headed, with lots of energy to get us to lunch (without the hangrys), sugar lows, and brain fog that comes with eating the standard packaged cereals.

    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. According to Chinese medicine, illness and disease occur when qi and blood is blocked or unbalanced. Chinese medicine uses various techniques to restore the balance and flow of qi and blood including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and exercise.
