Whether you are budget conscious or simply epidemic-aware, a more natural lifestyle may be a way to bring more balance to your life. A natural approach to wellness focuses on organic living and a beautified environment, seeking remedies of the earth instead of processed contents.
The iPhone apps that aim to help you lead a more spiritually balanced lifestyle are as vast as the ways in which you can go about achieving that lifestyle. The indication of strong interest in individual wellness suggests that the iPhone is becoming a resource better aligning people with their regular goals.
Wellness can cover a pretty large gamut, though I tried to narrow it down a few areas of importance: food, health, spirituality and environment. Perhaps these applications can help get you started on a more natural approach to your wellness.
