User:Mayathomas17/Wellness (alternative medicine)

The article broadly discusses health and fitness, but does not draw attention to how alternative medicine fosters a connection between the mind and body. Furthermore, the article primarily talks about health with regards to weight management and fitness. It does not focus on how alternative medicine can improve mental health and more general symptoms of illness. Thus, I wanted to add more details on a specific form of Alternative/Eastern Medicine: acupressure and acupuncture. This technique is not included in the article, but it is a common form of alternative medicine that has shown positive results in alleviating stress, anxiety, depressive thoughts, and general pain.

I think this article definitely is underdeveloped so i'm glad you chose it -- I would also note that the citations in the history section are largely not formatted according to wiki style, so you could also note that. And, the history section probably could use some sub-sections to make it more reader friendly. I think it could be useful to try and think of what kind of heading or subheading title you would want your suggested contribution to have...? Liliput000 (talk) 13:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

ALSO be sure to check out the talk page and see what's already been said!!! there's a thoughtful comment on there. As well, if you want to read ahead to what we have on schedule for our last day it may be relevant. Of course you can always add after we've read it... Liliput000 (talk) 13:53, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
