The wellness industry has experienced a major growth spurt in recent years. As humans become self-aware, they need more options for maintaining their physical and mental health. Therefore, we have been seeing a lot of wellness brands coming to the forefront.

Latinos, just like in every other sector, have significantly contributed to the wellness industry. From activewear to virtual therapy, Latinx-owned businesses have a lot to offer for mental, physical, professional, and spiritual wellness.

As part of the community, it is our duty to support Latino brands. Buying from these Latinx-owned brands is a great way to show support for the Latino community.

Let’s look at the importance of wellness, the top Latinx-owned brands, and what they have to offer.

Why is Wellness Important?

Wellness stems from self-awareness and the realization that we should be in good physical and mental condition. It is a conscious and holistic effort to to be healthy in all aspects of our lives. It encompasses professional, spiritual, psychological, emotional, intellectual, and social wellness.

Wellness became a priority because life in the modern era has become too complex and demanding. Therefore, it is extremely important to consciously take a break for ourselves.

Here are some benefits of why we should focus on our own wellness:

• Physical wellness allows us to function without pain and suffering.
• Social wellness allows us to form meaningful relationships.
• Intellectual and professional wellness allows us to grow in our careers.
• Emotional wellness helps us deal with complex emotions like grief and anger. 

Now let’s look at some Latinx-owned wellness brands that can help us.

1.      Therapy for Latinx

This is an online platform, aimed at breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in the Latin community. Therapy for Latinx was started by Brandi Carlos after her best friend committed suicide. It is a platform to look for culturally competent therapists and counselors for Latinx individuals. The platform is like Yelp for therapists, where you can search for therapists by name, specialty, or even your insurance. The platform also allows you to see one online.

However, for a smooth online session with your therapist, all you need to have is a dependable internet connection, like Optimum. Also, since we are currently discussing the Latinx community, did you know that you can reach out to Optimum servicio al cliente in Spanish too? Talk about inclusion, right?

2.      Siete Foods

Siete is a Mexican American food wellness brand which was established in 2014. It caters to people with a variety of food sensitivities. It provides grain-free Mexican cuisine staples like tortillas, nachos, and seasonings. Siete aims to enable people with food intolerances to enjoy Mexican cuisine.

Veronica Garza, the founder, fights multiple autoimmune conditions, which she now manages with elimination diets. She regularly posts recipes on the Siete website blog as well so that people with specific dietary requirements can enjoy Mexican American cuisine too.

Siete’s Churro Strips and Lime Grain Free Tortilla Chips are a must-try!

3.      The Salvaged Sawhorse

We all need positive affirmations in life, right? What better way than to carry your positive affirmations in the form of a deck? The Salvaged Sawhorse, which is now being rebranded as Almade, aims at empowering Latin women’s healing journeys through decks with positive affirmations. There are a variety of options to choose from, each catering to a specific age group. There are affirmations available for kids, teens, and even adults. These affirmations are available both in English and Spanish.

The brand is owned by second-generation immigrant women, so the affirmations have cultural significance as well. It specifically caters to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) women and aims to make self-healing a part of the culture. You can buy the decks from here.

4.      Xula

Xula is a wellness brand that makes doctor-tested herbal formulas to combat painful and difficult menstruation cycles. It is a Latinx and Black-owned brand that empowers women fighting PCOS, menopause, stress, PMS, insomnia, and other physiological problems. Their herbal formulas are organic and are made from various herbs, CBD, and cannabinoids that are grown at women-led farms in Oregon.

All Xula products are triple-tested and are made in collaboration with a batch of female doctors. These drops are a great way of including plant medicine in your daily diet, without facing harmful side effects. These are easy to consume too. You can take them as it or mix them in your drinks.

5.      MA Elevate

When it comes to fitfluencers, Massy Arias is our favorite Latina fitness influencer. Her MA Elevate Program is more than just an exercise program. It elevates your mind and your body. The program comes with guided exercise sessions, meal plans, yoga flows, journaling exercises, and affirmation that will rekindle your inner wiring. It caters to everyone, from people looking for beginner plans to advanced fitness geeks.

MA Elevate also teaches us the necessary self-awareness of how each food interacts with our body. Plus, it betters our mental health as well by introducing introspection into our fitness routine. It is not just fitness for our body, but for our mind as well.

Benefits of Supporting Latinx Wellness Brands

The rise in wellness brands alludes to wellness becoming an important aspect of the American culture. Latino wellness brands are bringing the spotlight to age-old and underrepresented Latino ingredients and practices. This is making a wider space for representation of the Latino culture.

Supporting these wellness brands also benefits us by:

• Improving our lifestyle
• Introducing healthy activities
• Enhancing our mental well-being
• Decreasing stress and anxiety.
