chicken soup16 Jul 2018
Hi all! You know that age old saying of soup being good for the soul? We honestly believe it's true! The cooler months are often a time when we can start to feel a little low on energy and not have quite the same mojo that we had over summer. In winter, it's completely appropriate to take some time out, rest more, slow down and do less. And sometimes, we can feel like we just don't have enough juice in the tank to get through or enjoy our everyday tasks/lives. That's where this chicken soup comes in!

By tuning into what your body needs this winter, you can help nourish your body, mind and soul.

sleep28 May 2018
We have a question for you...do you sleep like a baby? Simply hop into bed, shut your eyes and head off to the lovely land of nod...no tossing or turning, pure blissful sleep...until you wake the next morning feeling super refreshed and energised? I'm going to guess that the answer is no, because, unfortunately, a staggering number of us struggle with sleep. Whether it's falling asleep, staying asleep, or the quality of sleep itself...almost every person we speak to has some sort of trouble catching their zzz's.

We're about to summarise A LOT of content about how to use ice and heat for injuries and inflammation, so chunks will be missing but please feel free to email us at info@tonikahealth.com.au if you have any questions.
