Introduction
Different cultures have different ways in which they use to deal with the various health issues that generally arise on a daily basis. Some cultures believe that eating healthy and avoiding situations that would cause health issues is the way to go. Others think and put their faith in modern medicine whether in the preventive form or curative form. Some cultures have also put their trust in traditional medication while others tend to think that all the above is unnecessary and only religion that is believing in their supernatural being can be able to help in curing health situations for example through prayer.
