About this facet

This facet covers observances framed around well-being, healthy routines, balance or quality of life rather than one disease or clinical condition.

Wellness language can be vague or commercial, so factual health claims should be separated from motivational or lifestyle framing and checked against appropriate evidence.

Scope note: A wellness label is not evidence that a practice is medically effective, necessary or safe for every person.
