About Health and Wellness

For thousands of years, holistic medicine wasn’t considered alternative medicine. It was simply medicine. After years of traditional Western medicine, today there’s a resurgence of interest in natural health care. Four in ten adults and one in nine children in the United States turn to alternative medicine for their ailments. And the percentage of people seeking holistic health care—like acupuncture, medicinal herbs and meditation—is on the rise in the United States.

Lately, health and wellness issues have taken center stage, and considering rising diabetes and obesity rates and the modern healthcare crisis, it’s no wonder why. Take the high fructose corn syrup controversy. For years doctors and nutritionists warned about corn syrup’s negative health effects, and now the industry is fighting back. You may have seen one of their commercials aimed at polishing high-fructose corn syrup’s tarnished reputation.

It could be that conventional medicine isn’t working for you, and you’re looking for options. Perhaps you want to give herbal medicine, acupuncture or yoga the ol’ college try. Or maybe you’re just curious about holistic healing, how it intersects with traditional Western medicine, and how it fits into your life.

In SustainLane’s Health and Wellness section, you can find holistic medicine practitioners and yoga gurus and learn what others are saying about them.

As alternative medicine gains momentum, it can be tough to find the right holistic health practitioner, yoga studio, or healthy diet to stay healthy and on top of your game. The web is teeming with alternative medicine and holistic health information, and it’s hard to sift through all of it. Whether you want to find a new wellness center or yoga studio, or need the facts to become well-informed about alternative health, holistic healing, and alternative medicine, SustainLane community members are here to help.

After you’ve tried the places or products out, write reviews to let others know what you think.

Discover the secrets of Ayurveda, an ancient health and wellness science from India. Ayurveda’s energizing herbal remedies and health food tips will help keep your body in balance. If you’re thinking of adding more health food to your diet, look to the GAPS Diet or 100-Mile Diet for tips on healthy eating.
