Health and Wellness through Humanities

The present paper examines the impact of the Humanities on the health and wellness of human beings and society. Both the terms used health and wellness seems alike but there is a vital difference between both terms. Health indicates the state of well-being (free from illness) and wellness indicates the multidimensionality of life. National Wellness Institute has given its opinion on wellness, “An active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.” In, it includes multiple options for success using the fullest potential. It is the Humanities that promote the many disciplines of research and the outcomes of research contribute to making people's lives, and society heftier. If Humanities is ignored no questions will be posed for answers leading to discovery. From Humanities new areas too are emerged and appeared in front of us. Among those very significant areas are Digital Humanities and medical health humanities. For the fellow of literature and medical sciences, both have explored new dimensions of research for the wellness of human beings and society.
