For centuries people had been eating apple, yet it was for Newton to discover the law of gravity by observing the apple fall from the tree. In the same way, the law of cure has been there ever since the creation of plants and human being, and the people have been unknowingly applying it and getting cured.

Yet it is for the intellectuals to go deep into it and make more beneficial for the humanity. A common man is not interested in what the law of cure is. He is to be provided with thumb-rules and simple guidelines in different ailments. Below are given a few examples:

The above examples are just to show how guidelines for the use of different medicinal plants may be prepared for the common diseases in an area. It may be noted that there are different medicines for different type of fevers, and the holds good for all type of diseases. In fact, for true cure, the name of a disease has no value. It is very misleading to say that a particular drug is useful in fever, or diabetes, or hyper tension etc.

As regards modern interpretations of dreams, it would be better to treat the subject with healthy scepticism and sobriety. In spite of scientific research, dreams are still a borderline area of unexplained processes and it is most advisable to observe a healthy, natural way of life that will keep your sleep as free as possible from vivid dreams.

Singing teachers take great care in helping their students to achieve success by training them in proper breathing techniques. This is why professional singers never lose sight of the importance of correct breathing.

How much time should we spend on breathing exercises? To begin with, one minute may be sufficient. Gradually the time should be increased, to two minutes, then five minutes and so forth, until the correct way of breathing becomes habitual and automatic under any circumstances. As already stated, the exercises should gradually be extended to fifteen minutes. Regularity in practising the exercises is of the utmost importance because it helps the body to become accustomed to a new rhythm; in this way we will find that deep-breathing is better than any other form of exercise. This is a ‘medicine’ that is within the reach of everyone and costs nothing but a little effort, concentration and perseverance.

We recognise with gratitude the help obtained from natural remedies and food, from rest and proper exercise. But are we aware that it is only through correct breathing that we will crown the other therapeutic successes, adding the finishing touches to them? Once this is so we will then prove the principle that ‘breathing means life’ to be true.

Formerly 1-2 per cent salt was used, in other words, 100—200 g for every 10 kg of cabbage (4-8 oz for every 20 lb). Nowadays, 0.5 per cent salt or less is considered enough, since it has been found that too much salt reduces the lactic acid fermentation, resulting in an inferior product.

What a pity that we are not similarly inclined and satisfied with simple natural things! If we could avoid the use of refined sugar, which contributes to tooth decay and many other degenerative conditions, our children’s teeth would be much better. What is more, refined sugar is now about three times dearer than it was just a few years ago. So there are many reasons why we should try to eliminate it from our diet as much as possible, substituting fruit sugar instead.

If you feel very hungry, chew a few raisins slowly and thoroughly. The Bedouins wandering in the desert often live on nothing but a few dates a day, because they obtain the full benefit from this frugal meal by chewing it thoroughly and so predigesting it properly. In the same way we can help ourselves during our special period of fasting. Spit out the skins of the raisins and just enjoy the grape sugar.
