Well-being, a common term in Korea, refers to a healthier lifestyle, which is often tied to foods. Health care, specifically skin care, has seen a big boom in South Korea, which may be why beauty spas and aromatherapy are increasing in popularity.
Katra Cuskaden, who is half Korean, and Alison Lum have created Oil Miracles Hawaii (formerly known as Rollerball Remedies Hawaii). Consider them mixologists of essential oils for natural healing of headaches, itches, rashes and other ailments. The founders were driven because both of their children had digestive and breathing problems, which are now resolved. For more information, please visit omhawaii.net or email sales@omhawaii.net.
