Wellness (alternative medicine)

Wellness is a big word that means taking good care of your body and mind so you can be healthy and happy. It's like making sure your car gets a tune-up so it runs smoothly, except you're taking care of yourself instead!

Some people choose to use something called alternative medicine to help them stay well. This means doing things like using herbs and plants instead of taking medicine from the doctor or getting massages instead of taking pain medication.

Alternative medicine can be really helpful for some people, but it's important to talk to a grown-up you trust first before trying anything new. Just like you wouldn't try to fix your own car without help, you wouldn't want to try alternative medicine without guidance.

The most important thing is to take good care of yourself in a way that feels safe and comfortable for you!
