HOW HERBS CAN AID IN THE RECOVERY OF THE SICK
The blueprint for the remedial use of herbs
“In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained, unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to reestablish right conditions in the system.”—Ministry of Healing, 127.
“Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power,—these are the true remedies.”—Ministry of Healing, 127.
“There are many ways of practising the healing art; but there is only one way that Heaven approves. God’s remedies are the simple agencies of nature, that will not tax or debilitate the system through their powerful properties. Pure air and water, cleanliness, a
proper diet, purity of life, and a firm trust in God, are remedies for the want of which thousands are dying
. . Fresh air, exercise, pure water, and clean sweet premises, are within the reach of all . .
The physician needs more than human wisdom and power that he may know how to minister to the many perplexing cases of disease of the mind and heart with which he
is called to deal.
If he is ignorant of the power of divine grace, he cannot help the afflicted one, but will aggravate the difficulty; but if he has a firm hold upon God, he will be able to help the diseased, distracted mind.”—5 Testimonies, 443-444.
