Simple Steps to Improve Your Daily Wellness

What’s your idea of well-being, and does it stem from a cultural perspective? While well-being may be more talked about today than ever before, in some cultures it has been around for longer than the term itself. Wellness is not just a historic but global concept with various meanings and ways to achieve healthy well-being in different cultures. Find out more in Simple Steps to Improve Your Daily Wellness.

Contrary to popular opinion, well-being is not just the absence of disease or illness; it’s a complex combination of a person’s physical, mental, emotional, and social health factors. Well-being is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction, and while it originated in ancient Rome, Greece, and Asia, it is practised widely in many other cultures.

Amazingly, well-being is embedded in most cultures, and although these practices are unique to each culture, there is a common goal: wellness. While some of these practices may be opposites, others are quite similar. For example, in Japan, shinrin-yoku, or ‘forest bathing’, is the belief that nature boosts your mood; it is believed that living in the forest has great health benefits. Similarly, in Norway, friluftsliv is the practice of spending time in nature; it is being respectful and curious of your society, ultimately leading to success.

In other places, like Nigeria and South Africa, the art of Ubuntu, which has no direct English translation, can be seen as hospitality. It is putting the needs of others above yours to achieve a sense of achievement. Although this may not seem like a form of wellness to many, in some cultures, it gives a sense of community and spirituality. 

Much like Ubuntu, which many may not understand, in Egypt, cupping therapy is a common wellness treatment. The cup is placed where healing is needed, and then heat is applied. The cup works as a vacuum, and blood is drawn to the skin. It is used to treat blood disorders, migraines, skin problems, and anxiety. This, however, did not start with a cup but a horn in earlier years, and though many people may shriek at the idea of cup therapy or cower at the idea of acupuncture, a Chinese remedy for wellness involving needle insertions into the body, this is a wellness routine to some.

For many, wellness routines may vary; however, we tend to include wellness in our daily lives without much thought. For example, taking a shower or bath when we are down and taking a walk in nature to get fresh air. If this is more your style, maybe try here+now, which pioneers a new sustainability benchmark across two buildings with space for the ultimate wellness and community experience.

If this is not to your taste and you prefer something more within reach after a busy day at work, maybe try lighting a candle.

You may well say “What, just any candles?’ Why not try the Urban Apothecary Wellbeing Collection? With six different fragrances: Botanical Rose to remind you of garden blooms; Lavender Dream to create a perfume-like cloud for a great rest; Geranium Heart as a reminder of the therapeutic geranium tea; Lemon Sunstar to take you to the sunny Mediterranean citrus groves; Vanilla Sky with a nostalgic reminder of vanilla pods; and Temple Ylang Ylang, a scented portrait of a tropical flower. These diffuser and candle sets crafted with essential oils not only relax you but also uplift your mood.

Urban Apothecary also sells a variety of items, including candles, diffusers, and room sprays, which are all made with great attention. It combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Each product has distinct, evocative scents inspired by natural botanicals and modern living. The company takes pride in employing only the best ingredients and sustainable procedures, making it a popular choice among discerning clients looking for beauty and sophistication in their homes.

However, maybe something a little more refreshing would be your choice. The Jo Loves Mango Thai Lime scented candle is a hand-poured candle with blends of mango, lime, thyme, freesia, and mint leaves, which dance together to create a cosy scent, transporting you to the streets of Thailand; as well as bringing an uplifting scent to your space.

Maybe you want to take it one step further? You love a collection so much you want all the items well the luxurious Private Collection from Rituals will serve just that purpose.

The Private Collection consists of Fragrance Sticks and Fragrance Stick refills, Scented Candles, Parfum d’Interieurs, Cartridges, Car Perfumes, Hand Washes and Hand Wash refills, and Hand Balms offering four distinct ranges to cater to diverse preferences. For an uplifting mood find fragrances of Green Cardamom, White Basil, and Savage Garden. For an alluring deep scent try Black Oudh, Precious Amber, and Wild Fig.

For those who love floral aromas and blooms filling a room then the Floral Collection, featuring the unique fragrances of Imperial Rose, Orris Mimosa, and Sweet Jasmine will be for you. If it’s a soothing comforting ‘hug of a scent’ then treat the mind with Suede Vanilla, Smooth Violet, and Cotton Blossom.

Finally added is a new fragrance in the collection called White Basil. The new stylish metallic designs of the Scented Candles and Fragrance Sticks allow for a touch of glamour and warmth to sit alongside the fragrances.

The most important part of well-being is a mindset. You want to be kind to yourself so setting a scented scene is one step that certainly helps you get there
