Herbs to support a healthy gut.
When we think about gut health, we often just associate it with digestion. But the truth is, your gut plays a much bigger role in your overall health than you might realize.

What is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow is a term used for lateral epicondylitis which is an injury to the tendons and muscles located on the outside or the lateral part of the elbow. It can be an inflammation, pain or soreness on the lateral side of a person’s upper arm just near the elbow. This could be caused by a partial tear to the tendon fibers that connects the muscle to the bone. Anyone who uses their arm for repetitive movement can suffer from this injury.

Benefits of Active Release Techniques
Active Release Technique, or A.R.T., is the gold standard treatment for treating the soft-tissue aches and pains. It incorporates manual pressure and patient movement.
