Tennis Elbow Finding a Natural Remedy

Tennis elbow is inflammation, soreness, or pain on the outside of the upper arm near the elbow.

Sometimes the tendon that is connected to your muscle bone is torn.

A major cause of this condition is repetitive action. In other words when you use certain arm muscles over and over again, small tears develop in the tendon. Over time, this leads to irritation and pain where the tendon is attached to the bone.

Tennis elbow as a result is very common in people who play a lot of tennis or other racquet sports. Tennis pros will tell you that backhand is the most common stroke to cause symptoms.

On the other hand, a little know fact is that repetitive twisting of the wrist can lead to this condition. From working in the restaurant business I have observed chefs using that motion all the time when flipping omelettes or cutting a lot of veggies on the cutting board. Personally I also noticed friends of mine in the construction business who do a lot of up and down motion with their arms while painting also complained of tennis elbow like symptoms. Therefore, painters, plumbers, construction workers, cooks, and butchers are all more likely to develop tennis elbow.

Look out heavy computer and mouse users. Make sure that you have gel cushion mouse pads and a good desk for proper support.

Symptoms of the tennis elbow include:

• Elbow pain that gradually worsens

• Pain radiating from the outside of the elbow to the forearm and back of the hand when grasping or twisting

• Weak grasp

  Doctors will usually recommend anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin).

  However for those that want a natural remedy, the ayurvedic formulation in the liquid nutritional Zrii is known to help with inflammation. Aquaintances that have tried it for that have said they received tremendous results. Why does it work so well? The ayurvedic formula of Zrii contains jujube. Jujube is used by Chinese, Indian and Korean healers as a traditional remedy for its antifungal, antibacterial, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, sedative, antispastic, antifertility/contraception, hypotensive and Antinephritic, cardiotonic, antioxidant, immunostimulant, and wound healing properties The jury is out let me know your thoughts.
