The Wellness
Equation
T
he philosophy of wellness is at the heart of the spa industry. It is
the core concept that has led to the impending marriage of spa
and mainstream health care.
The idea of wellness, at least in general health care, has evolved from
simply nutrition and exercise, to now more inter-disciplinary, specifically
called “Integrative Medicine”—an approach that brings the best of both
worlds of conventional medicine and evidence-based Complementary
and Alternative Medicine (CAM).
