Wellness Supports
Wellness is a loaded word, its meaning is not strictly defined so it allows it to be many things to many people. We believe that wellness is connected to many different aspects of our lives, and when we are in a battle with Cancer - every aspect of our life is impacted.
Our goal with including wellness supports into our monthly battle box is to assist in the other areas of our lives that Cancer is impacting. The fight isn't just at the hospital or at the treatment room, the battle is fighting to maintain focus of thought, or keeping our spirits up or forcing ourselves to meet with friends when weary, it's maintaining our physical fitness or keeping our environment clean and healthy. There's so many ways that every day wellness plays a very impactful part of our ability to Fight and stay strong. We include products each month to help and support the wellness battle.
We are very intentional with our goal of creating supports geared towards guys. We had a hard time finding the right scents, the right flavors, the right textures - so much of the world is geared towards woman as consumers. We've actually had to reach out to manufacturers and have some custom products designed specifically for our fighters. Whenever you see a product that has the name "Rugged Vigor" on it - in labeling or stickers or whatever, know that this product is one we've had created ourselves. It's our own brand specifically, hand crafted for our fighters to be suitable for a man having this battle.
All of our products are greatly researched. We scoured the reviews and recommendations from oncologist and therapist and patients and manufacturers from across the world to find items that will bring relief, comfort and support. Products for gut health, energy boosts, naseous relief, skin care, muscle aches, pain, appetite support, foot care, hair growth, eye health. We've manufactured and mixed our own 4 different versions of herbal teas to both taste great, bring comfort and avoid caffeine. We've blended creams and ointments to sooth thin skin or stimulate scalp blood flow or relieve muscle cramps.
Each month several items in the box will be geared towards wellness supports. It's such a vital part of the battle, especially with Chemo, starting strong and finishing strong. It's not a one moment fight, it's a battle.
