Ethno-Culture

The world is undergoing a major demographic transformation in racial and ethnic composition of its population. While these changes bring with them significant challenges, they also bring enormous richness of diverse cultures.

Culturally appropriate health care requires openness to the expectations, perceptions and realities of various communities. Therefore, it is critical that when dealing with health issues, we keep in mind the origin and culture of the patients.

By understanding and being open to the diversity and the different ways to health, we can have access to better health resources. Rather than discarding the traditional health procedure as invalid, we can research and adapt the right practices. Cultural integration can enrich us with the cross traditional knowledge of preventions and cures, home remedies, food therapies, culturally suitable diet options and much more.

Ethno Culture section not only offers you a sneak peak at how traditional knowledge can contribute to our well being but also includes a comprehensive collection of home remedies and health tips.
