Biomedicine has being in existence since the end of the eighteenth century (Nettleton,1995). It is the major model used by health practitioners to detect diseases (Nettleton, 1995).This biomedical model of health have centred on how the human body functions and how diseases can be stopped, or healed through medical intervention(Taylor and field, 2007). This model continues to be the bedrock in which foundation of health care system is based in the western societies, but there has being a lot of queries concerning its influence on the general pattern of health, since majority of health determinant are social and environmental. Arkinson (1988 p.180)claimed that the biomedical model, which as taken over the formal health care system in the West since the last two decades view health along the reductionist approach. In this approach, illness is said to be caused by injury or infections and there is neglect of the psychological, socio-economical and environmental influences (Taylor and field 2007).

Culture is the manner people live which shapes their health. Heritage denotes something immaterial, a custom that is passed from one generation to another such as routine used to guard health, sustain health, and re-establish health.

Culturally congruent care means taking in to account the beliefs and traditions of the patient and working them into the care plan. This is one of the key factors in having the patient’s attention; to understand and accept the advice of the care providers. If the patient is comfortable, they are more likely to follow the medical advice and promote the facility to their friends and family (Potter et al., 2013). The Hispanic culture believes that a post-partum woman needs to wear an abdominal binder to prevent air from entering the uterus, thus promoting healing.

Transcendental Meditation There is a trend occurring shifting the medical model to a holistic healing that utilizes complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The medical model is excellent at treating acute life threatening diseases and injuries.
