People of Indian heritage
The Indian heritage has a tradition of medical healing that dates back to more than 2000 years ago. All the medical systems that exist in this heritage attribute sickness to imbalances in the body. Most of them rely on herbal medicine for both preventive and curative measures. They also consider homeopathy as a remedy. In this heritage, there is an old system of medication referred to as Ayurveda. Under this system, the body is made up of forces called dosha (Bandikallu et al., 2020). When there is balance within the dosha, someone is considered healthy and whenever there is an imbalance, then it is a disease. Families do not allow doctors to relay on bad news to the patients and families are involved in making significant health decisions. For example, in the case of an organ transplant, the decision must be shared between the physicians, the patient, and the family members.
