The Nature-driven revolution
Today, millions of us are drawn together around Nature, by her energy, vitamins, strength, and healthy air deep inside, we call it Nature with a capital N to name it in this article is dedicated to a quiet revolution: entrusting Nature with the keys to a healthier, happier, and more honest life.
Do you know Ashwagandha, Ylang-Ylang, Nigella Sativa, Moringa, or Phycocyanins and Terpenes (if not, have an eye on it)?
This isn’t just a green revolution; the shift toward the benefits of organic or 100% natural molecules for better living, improved health, and longevity is also a scientific one.
In the last decade, botanical science and laboratory research into new molecules and their extraordinary health benefits have truly taken off, mirroring the growth of this new, 100% natural pharmacy.
Annual revenues in 2023 are estimated at €250 billion, with projections of €320 billion by 2030.
Between 2019 and 2022 alone, the market expanded by 25%.
Our relationship with medicine, the challenge of discerning truth from fiction regarding our health, and the flood of alarming information and rumors during the recent pandemic have not only fostered frustration and increased more mistrust in traditional medicine but also sparked a quest for a healthier life, one closer to Mother Nature, filled with energy, vitality, and beauty.
I am, of course, among these millions of people. My interest in this subject began a few years ago.
At that time, Brussels real estate agencies were reporting record numbers of transactions for countryside properties, nature-view apartments, or at least homes with a green terrace. Simultaneously, figures from top laboratories specializing in 100% natural molecules, diverse products, and especially organic cosmetics, started climbing significantly—brands like Nieto Martinez (and his beloved Marnyx!), Havea, Puressentiel, Weleda...
There’s a deep need for security and truth in this approach, a desire to care for oneself.
In recent years, it’s not just natural vitamins, minerals, essential oils, and 100% natural supplements that have been embraced in this quest for well-being.
Luxury brands no longer release a cream that isn’t 100% natural, if not organic.
The incredible enthusiasm for nature trips or detox stays has soared, as has the literature on the subject with a growing titles about wellness and natural care and social media has fueled the debate.
Ultimately, everyone has been able to—and still can—curate their own journey of self-care, following many of the new daily practices and happiness routines.
This revolution is grounded in the awareness that it is genuinely possible to infuse your life with stronger, positive, constructive, and creative energy.
It’s based on care that is assured in its benevolent origin, with quality and effects that are always beneficial.
With advances in natural science, particularly in botany, recent research on the properties of certain natural substances and molecules like curcuminoids, polyphenols, or terpenes is incredibly promising. These new anti-inflammatories and antioxidants offer new perspectives for natural health.
Within this vast array of natural solutions for better living, your decision to engage in an activity that brings you joy—something you practice for yourself, like dancing, a top recommendation from "better living" experts—is vital!
I decided to start in 2015, fulfilling a childhood dream of becoming a ballerina (and performing today several shows in town every year!).
It’s never too late to take an unexpected path that truly resonates with you!
We’ve covered 100% natural vitamins (of good quality!), essential oils, and supplements—two important points for both body and mind.
And in the realm of food, this revolution is well underway!
The trend of eating better (watch our last article on healthy food spots in Brussels!), paying attention to the quality of ingredients and drinks we consume, is no longer just a trend—it’s a reality!
Thousands of new companies, projects, and diverse offerings have emerged in recent years, focused on organic food, short supply chains, and direct-from-farm delivery services.
In my opinion, this is the first step for anyone looking to join the movement—if you want to live happier, start by eating better.
It’s impossible to cover all the ways to benefit from Nature’s most effective offerings today, to steer your life toward a positive and healthy direction, to listen to yourself better, and to take care of yourself by using what Nature has to offer.
Everyone follows their own path and experiences, but one thing is certain: when it comes to vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and the like, be very selective—look for organic origins and seek advice from knowledgeable professionals!
On finding the right products, here are some addresses of professionals in Brussels.
For everything else, be creative, take the leap, don’t be afraid to change—Nature always keeps its promises...
