Why the Wellness Lifestyle? 

  

            What does it mean to be well? I believe wellness can be described by not merely the absence of disease, but by feeling good and enjoying your life. How you feel - physically, mentally and emotionally, really determines your overall health and well being. It might be said that your health is your greatest asset, since it affects how you think, feel, move, interact, prosper and achieve. When you don't feel well, every other aspect of your life is impacted. 

Modern medicine tends to fixate on diagnosis and treatment, the wellness lifestyle focuses on education, self awareness, and prevention. Instead of merely treating disease, the wellness lifestyle addresses causes - what lies beneath the disease and its symptoms. Our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, habits, and choices are fueling the fires of inflammation, pain, toxicity, and illness in the body. By addressing the root causes of disease rather than merely treating the symptoms we can assist the body in healing itself. 

The wave of the future is Integrative Medicine, where newly discovered treatments work in conjunction with, historically proven traditional practices to treat the whole person instead of just the disease. In this way, we can form a partnership with practitioners with a goal of treating the mind, body, and spirit, all at the same time. 

Frequently your body is capable of healing itself naturally. Most times, it does not need synthetic medications to take over its healing job, but simply the right support tools that enable it to do what it was engineered to do. The key to wellness is simply learning what serves the body, then restoring to the body what it needs. This will yield lasting healing and continued wellness. 

Plant remedies, known as essential oils, have been used throughout the world for a millennia and are one of nature's most powerful, support tools available to help your body heal itself. Essential oils can be used in many aspects of our daily lives. 

Bottom line to the wellness lifestyle is that each and every day you make choices that affect your health. Ultimately your health rests in your hands. You have the power to live a life of optimal Health.
