First and foremost – We will NOT state anything in our site that claims a particular food, exercise, medicine or oil will cure disease. We strongly believe there is a balance, between food, exercise, oils, osteopathic and allopathic medicine and other holistic alternatives. It is up to each individual to find what is right for their lifestyle, which means staying open minded and doing the research required to empower their own lives. We should all strive to live healthy.
Are you wondering about the title of our blog, Natural Wellness? Well, we did too as we went to many variations. but this one seemed to fit our intentions: To be holistic, healthy, sustainable, informative and honest.
Living a healthy and holistic lifestyle does not come overnight for most of us. It takes a lot of introspect on what you do in your daily activities, what you eat and how it is grown or raised, your exercise choices, social environment and even alternatives to some health care needs.
Many folks are not well informed about the foods they eat or how essential oils can be introduced into their daily lives.
Unfortunately, as a society, have accepted what we hear or see in magazines, newspapers, TV, etc., without questioning and doing research on our own that may contradict what we have read, seen or heard. For instance, some medical professionals, pharmaceutical companies, some aroma therapists and others, have tried to denigrate the effectiveness of essential oils as an addition to one’s healthy lifestyle management, by saying there is a lack of research and that the oils may be dangerous. This is a very myopic point of view, as even water is dangerous if you drink too much! Knowledge is the key here, as to what you are putting in or on your body and the only way to get that knowledge is by doing your own research, coming to your own conclusions.
As for research, to the contrary of what some people say is a lack of research, is that essential oil was just never a focus until now. Because of all of the debate about essential oils, we are now seeing companies upping their research budget 10 fold! A company that truly cares about the quality of the oils that will produce the biggest benefit, the sustainability of the land where the oils are produced to the welfare of the people that grow and process the plants’ oils.
Through our anecdotes, testimonies, recipes, pictures, research papers/links and more, this simple little blog will help enlighten those that seek the truth about essential oils and want the benefit of a healthier, more robust and financially abundant lifestyle.
We look forward to having you in our little part of the healthy living and essential oil virtual blog world!
Lots of love, the Lanes
