Korean culture and health related beliefs and practices...?

In the Korean culture, what types of cultural health practices do they engage (e.g., use of herbal remedies, potions, massage, wearing of talismans or charms to discourage evil spirits, health rituals, incantations, prayers)? What is appropriate "sick role" behavior? Who determines what symptoms constitute disease/illness and who decides when they are no longer sick? Who cares for the sick in the home? Please answer in relation to all questions and preferably you are of the Korean culture or are an expert in the field. Thank you

    It in all probability could and does when you consider that it particularly is the place it originated. If it originated in china then i'm advantageous the practises could mirror that subculture. you may ask precisely the comparable question then. Islam forbids innovation. human beings continually seek for to make the religion fit in with what they in my opinion choose to do and it is the place horrendous adjustments arise. you do no longer want a particular quote for this all you need to do is seem at how in yet in a diverse way Islam is practised over the international. If human beings tried to slot in with the religion then I hypothesise there could be some distance much less conflict...yet of path Allah granted us with unfastened will so human beings will attempt all kinds of issues (pos and neg). My opinion is that to maintain a faith ordinary you may circulate back to its origins besides. i stumble on it gross to consume with the comparable hand as wiping hand....I continually wash my hand yet I inform you what makes me choose to heave while i circulate to restrooms and persons do no longer wash their arms!!!! Then they circulate and tuck right into a great mac or something.Yuck! Now that's unhygenic! relating to canines - specific they are seen filthy and Muslims could wash themselves after coming in touch with those animals or certainly any animal. In Islam purity is amazingly significant. As i think in Allah I even have faith in his creations, you be attentive to, the angels and jinns, the books ( torah, previous testomony, psalms and Qu'ran), the day of judgement and so on. i'm proud that Islam would not pander to the whims of persons. besides the shown fact that folk have further issues to it. i do no longer have faith that Islam is against different faiths (specific Muslims are) besides the shown fact that it strengthens and reiterates what grew to become into and what would be. What am i able to declare? Allah (swt) knows maximum suitable.
