—Swami Sivananda—
It is no good to run to a doctor for every minor complaint. Become a doctor yourself.
Take honey with milk if you suffer from constipation. If there is indigestion, take a few small pieces of fresh ginger mixed with a little sugar as the first thing in the morning. If there is discharge of pus from the ears, put garlic oil or neem oil.
If there is inflammation in the gums, rub them with a little salt mixed with mustard oil. You can also use this oil for rubbing in rheumatism. Expose the oil to the sun. If there is cavity in the tooth, apply a little camphor.
If you get pain in the stomach, do not take food. Fast. Drink a tumblerful of water. Fasting will do you immense good.
Take sun-bath in the early morning and evening. Take regular exercises.
Do not stuff yourself with medicines. Pure air, pure water, sunlight and wholesome food are the best medicines.
