wellness
State of thriving
Wellness is the state of being healthy, especially as an actively pursued goal rather than merely the absence of illness.
The term emphasizes holistic well-being—physical, mental, and emotional—and appears constantly in marketing: wellness retreat, wellness program, wellness industry.
Critics note the word often sells products and services of dubious value under a veneer of self-care.
