If you have been trying to treat these pains as 3 separate problems, you might find immense relief when you treat them altogether.

Remember: the body is an amazing place, connected by interrelated parts. Structurally and physiologically, its parts are dependant on each other. If you are feeling distress in one area, there is probably distress in other areas, too.

So, as you find the cause of your pain and start treating it, treat other affected areas in the process.

Relieve Burning Arm Pain with exercises

When you feel burning pain, especially in your arms or elbows, that is often a sign of tendonitis. Tennis elbow and golfers' elbow are two kinds of elbow tendonitis. You do not have to be a tennis player or golfer to get these kinds of irritation in the arm and elbow.

When the arm is overworked, it can over-stretch the muscles' tendons. They become inflamed, which is an -itis, and you may develop tendonitis (or bursitis, e.g.).

When muscles are overworked, then often there are corresponding muscles that are getting underworked. They may be pulled taut, or weak.

If you need natural relief from burning arm pain, then Read this article. It shows three specific exercises you can do to feel relief from burning arm pain due to overworked muscles:

Thai-Yoga Massage to Stretch Your Partner's Back & Hips

Aaahhh, I love Thai massage (giving and receiving), also known as Thai-Yoga. It is assisted stretching, but it is more dynamic than stretching muscles individually.
Like yoga, it stretches muscles in several planes of movement. It also stretches several muscles at a time.

Like LIFE, we use muscles in dynamic, multi-planar movements. We don't use one muscle in isolation, in one direction (plane of motion). Therefore, it is more effective than stretching muscles individually.

Another advantage of assisted stretching is that you can get a deeper, more effective stretch when someone is conscientiously applying the stretch to you, rather than stretching yourself.

Your partner would appreciate 2-person Thai-Yoga Massage for loosening their back and hip muscles! If you are the giver, move slowly, gently, and respectfully throught the movements.
Here are more of the health benefits of Thai-Yoga Massage:
* Emphasis is on loosening joints and stretching muscles
* Opens energy channels, improving circulation and movement
* Works from a holistic medicine model based in ancient Ayurveda
* Relaxing and deeply therapeutic, with long-lasting effects

Relieve pain and tension, prevent disc problems in the spine, and relieve stress!

Best Water for Your Body

If you read my writings, you will often see reminders about the importance of drinking pure water. Your muscles need to stay hydrated to feel great and pain-free, a hydrated body is an energized body, etc.

With so many varieties of water out there, which is the best water for your body and your health?

The answer: No bottled water is best for you. Because bottled water is a wasteful industry. Filtered water, however, is another story.

I recommend purchasing a high-quality filter for your kitchen. Then get in the habit of bottling your own filtered water. Use and reuse bottles that will not diffuse chemicals into your water.



To clean my bottles, I use a toothbrush, some liquid natural castille soap, and lemon or peppermint essential oils. I clean around the cap and threads, then into the bottle. My bottle is then Lemony- or Minty-fresh and disinfecting, without breaking down the plastic properties the way a dish-washer would.

Hint: I squeeze a bit of fresh lime into my water. Keeps the bottle fresh longer, and mmmm...

Consider using alternatives that are healthier for you and the planet.
