Wellness is a term used by the uninformed as well as experts. Unfortunately, some individuals and groups have tried to identify wellness with products and services that promise benefits that cannot be documented. Because well-being is a subjective feeling, unscrupulous people can easily make claims of improved wellness for their product or service without facts to back them up.
Holistic health is a term that is similarly abused. Consider that optimal health includes many areas; thus, the term holistic (total) is appropriate. In fact, the word health originates from a root word meaning “wholeness.” Unfortunately, questionable health practices are sometimes promoted under the guise of holistic health. Care should be used when considering services and products that make claims of wellness and/or holistic health to be sure that they are legitimate.
健康是一个术语，可由普通人和专家共同使用。不幸的是，一些个人和团体试图给一些产品和服务打上健康的标签，这些产品和服务承诺的好处往往是无法记录的。因为幸福是一种主观的感觉，肆无忌惮的人很容易声称他们的产品或服务改善了健康，却没有事实来支持他们。
整体健康是一个同样被滥用的术语。考虑到最佳健康包括许多方面；因此，“整体”一词是恰当的。事实上，健康这个词源于一个词根，意思是“完整”。不幸的是，有问题的医疗方法有时会打着整体卫生的幌子得到推广。在考虑提供健康或整体健康要求的服务和产品时，应注意确保它们是合法的。
