Health & Wellness
In recent years complementary health and wellness have grown in popularity. People
used to consider these approaches outside of the mainstream or "alternative"--not

use alternative treatments together with conventional therapies.
Complementary health and wellness provides natural remedies and healthy solutions for your health concerns as well as practical ideas for self-care and prevention.
