Definition:

Wellness is much more than "health." Wellness is the quest to improve our quality of life; our physical health and natural healing ability; the peace-of-mind achieved by knowing you're following a proven path to becoming healthy and happy. It may also be optimizing your body's natural healing ability and overcoming a challenging health condition. Wellness may be the integration of traditional Western medicine and natural holistic treatments. Wellness may be the balance of physical, mental, spiritual and relationship health. - wellness.com
