Description The practice of mother and child-healing and celebration is perhaps one of the intangible cultural heritages that has continued and survived through several nations and today’s western influence. While others may argue that the practice has changed drastically, this is mostly witnessed at the superficial level particularly during the celebration. What was once a private and sacred moment for the mother and child has transformed into a huge celebration for the community and to the traditional women this is taboo. On the other hand, inter sacredness remains within the treatment and healing process as a secret heritage safeguarded by the lineage.
