How to Create Wellness Products

As opposed to over-the-counter medicine or doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals, wellness products encompass a wide range, from substances used to help people recover from injury or illness to others used to prevent disease or promote general good health. Classified under alternative medicine, wellness products are generally used by individuals attempting to take control of their health. Although many of these can be purchased in health food stores or on the Internet, users can make wellness products themselves.
