Yoga for Health
1. Most of the diseases take their origin in over-eating, sexual excess and outbursts of anger
and hatred. If the mind is kept cool and calm at all times, you will have wonderful health, strength
and vitality. Energy is depleted by fits of anger. The cells and tissues are filled with morbid,
poisonous materials, when one loses his temper and entertains deep hatred. Various sorts of
physical ailments crop up. The blood becomes hot and thin and consequently night pollution
results. Various kinds of nervous diseases are attributable to excessive loss of the seminal energy
and frequent fits of explosive anger or wrath.
2. Let any disease remain in your body. Do not bother too much. Do not fret and fume.
Develop the powers of endurance and resistance. Strengthen your body, mind and nerves. Take
plenty of open-air exercises, substantial nutritious food, medicated oil bath and plenty of rest. Have
mental and physical recreation. Lead a well-regulated life. Be moderate in food, drink and
enjoyments. Lead a spiritual life. All diseases will leave your body by themselves. All microbes
will die, when your vitality, vigour and strength are at a flood tide. This is the secret of health and
happiness.
3. Do not be carried away by the pompous advertisements made by quacks and charlatans.
Lead a simple natural life. You will become all right soon. Do not spend any money in purchasing
the so-called patent medicines and specifics. They are worthless. Quacks try to exploit the
credulous and the ignorant. Beware. Do not go to the doctors very often. Endeavour to qualify
yourself as your own doctor. Understand the laws of nature and the principles of hygiene and
health. Do not trespass against the laws of health.
4. Bask in the sun. Expose your body to the rays of the sun for a short time daily. This is
heliotherapy or sun-treatment. Sun is the source of energy and power. You will derive energy and
power from the sun.
5. Soak 12 almonds at night. Remove the skin and take the almonds with some sugarcandy
in the early morning. Or you can make a refreshing beverage by grinding these almonds with a little
black pepper and sugarcandy. This is called ‘thandai’ by the Punjabis. This is a fine, cooling and
strength-giving tonic.
6. Rest in bed is necessary. Adjust your diet. Take simple, wholesome, easily digestible,
bland and non-irritating food. Give up hot, pungent curries, chutneys and chilliest Rest the stomach
and the small bowels by taking recourse to partial fasts. If you can fast for a whole day, it is all the
better. Fasting eliminates poisons and overhauls the system thoroughly. You can take sago and milk
barley water and fruits like sweet oranges, grapes, etc. If you are thirsty, you can take lemon or
orange juice with sugarcandy.
