PRESCRIBING NATURE<br />
There is enough science about the health<br />
benefits of nature to get the attention of the<br />
medical profession. Nature as medicine; just<br />
don’t tell big Pharma.<br />
In 2018, the NHS Shetland (Scotland) rolled<br />
out “nature prescriptions” to help treat high<br />
blood pressure, anxiety and depression. The doctors and nurses<br />
have been urged to describe the health benefits of being outdoors,<br />
along with specific outdoor activities for people to engage in<br />
throughout the year.<br />
MEDISCENT: FRAGRANCE GETS A WELLNESS<br />
MAKEOVER<br />
A new understanding of scent’s crucial role in our physical and<br />
emotional wellbeing is transforming how we think about, nurture,<br />
and use our sense of smell.<br />
The concept of aromatherapy, or using scent to treat “disease,”<br />
is a centuries-old practice. However, what’s old is new again<br />
thanks to huge leaps in technology, fragrance development and<br />
neuroscience studies, including new formulations; cleaner and<br />
greener ingredients; and more science-based research encouraging<br />
medical professionals, health insurers and skeptical consumers to<br />
take another, more serious look at this age-old treatment.<br />
CHINA : UNCOVERING THE WEALTH IN WELLNESS<br />
China’s unprecedented economic growth, political influence and<br />
technological advances have transformed the country into a global<br />
powerhouse. Given the size of the market and its growing middle<br />
class, China’s influence is now impacting the global wellness industry.<br />
NUTRITION GETS VERY<br />
PERSONALIZED<br />
Diet confusion, new tech and the “power<br />
of me” propel personalized nutrition into<br />
mainstream.<br />
Preliminary studies have shown that<br />
individuals are more likely to stick with<br />
personalized nutrition advice based on DNA, blood biomarkers<br />
and genotypes (a positive offshoot of our craving for the hyperpersonalization<br />
of everything?). A study of 100 Habit users found that<br />
women lost an average of eight pounds and men an average of 12.<br />
Habit’s Grimmer says: “When people eat in harmony to their body,<br />
a natural result is weight loss.” The same study showed a positive<br />
increase in the consumption of nutritious foods and a reduction in<br />
those things many of us can do without: sugar, trans fats and salt.<br />
DYING WELL<br />
It’s called the “death positive” movement; everything around dying<br />
is getting radically rethought - from making the experience more<br />
humane to mourning and funerals getting reimagined, to people<br />
actively exploring death as part of a mentally healthy life. Finally, a<br />
“better death” is becoming integral to the idea of a “well life.”<br />
People are rethinking the way we care for people at the end of life,<br />
realizing that we can have it go well or badly. So, we see the rise of a<br />
new practitioner, the death doula, who fills the gap in care between<br />
medicine and hospice, families and fear - and who is dedicated to<br />
giving people a better, more meaningful and peaceful death.<br />

China’s outbound travel will have the biggest impact on global<br />
wellness. Wanderlust among Chinese consumers will dominate<br />
and reshape global tourism with its explosive growth and unique<br />
consumption habits.<br />
