Why Wellness?

My name is Linda  and I hope this blog will be a forum for readers to share their ideas that help them maintain a good healthy lifestyle.

This is not a medical blog.  I do not diagnose. prescribe or advise.  My intention is to put new information and ideas here for consideration.  The idea is to share information  that may enable people like me who are concerned about their well-being  to take control of their wellness, health, and not break the bank.

I first became interested in alternative healthcare when I was in my thirties.  I found a book that discussed herbs, vitamins and minerals and their effect on overall health.  Up until then I had not realized how little I knew about the consequences  to health of poor diet and lack of sufficient vitamins and minerals. I grew up eating the typical southern diet that consisted of fried meats, overcooked vegetables and  breads made from refined flour. Biscuits and cornbread.   Delicious, but not nutritious.

I started using some of the suggestions in the book and realized that the information was not only accurate, but the vitamins and minerals worked!!!!

I will also write about essential oils and what I feel is their place in maintaining health.  Essential oils are concentrated herbs and offer the purest way to use the helpful properties of the plants that have been put on this earth to aid our well being.

I hope some of this information will be helpful and informative and I welcome suggestions.
