History Natural language processing has its roots in the 1950s.

Ayurveda mentions the concept and also has dedicated a whole speciality for the concept of wellness and maintenance of health. The term ''wellness'' has also been misused for pseudoscientific health interventions. History The term was partly inspired by the preamble to the World Health Organization’s 1948 constitution which said: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” It was initially brought to use in the US by Halbert L.
