Western Minds

It seems as though the culture around you has much to do with the way you interpret life. Many of us here in the west share the same mindset: You go to the doctor once you get sick! I'm not here to say if that is right or wrong. That is how I was raised, and it is definitely a part of the culture where I live.
Through nursing, and other aspects of my life I have come to see that other cultures take a different approach completely. There are those who think that modern medicine and science should be avoided. Some people prefer the use of natural remedies, and others will take a more holistic approach. There is no right or wrong answer.

Personally I feel that there are many types of health and healing that are beneficial, especially once a good balance is obtained.
