The Ways Of The Amish

The Ways of the Amish The Amish people’s primary mode of substance is emerging agriculture or better known as farming. All of their food is mainly grown, raised, and prepared by the hands of the Amish. Kinship is the backbone of their society. They believe in helping each other out and are very strong in their family ties. Religion is also very important to them and they hold strong values. “The Amish obtain health care from biomedical practitioners, from a variety of complementary and alternative medicine providers, and through the use of home remedies” (In Encyclopedia of Medical Anthropology, 2004, para. 17). The Amish Culture is unique in its emerging agriculture, its kinship, its beliefs and values and its medical philosophy.
