This book consists of several sections. The
first comprises a bunch of essays on diverse health
subjects such as Diet, Relaxation and Physical Fitness.
The approach is from Nature Cure angle.
A minority movement though Nature Cure is, it is making
its presence felt all over the world. This is but
‘natural’ since the seekers after easy ways to
health by drugs or surgery usually do not take long to be
disillusioned with the orthodox medical system,
whereafter they begin to run from doctors instead of
running for them.
In modern times, when so much is said about ecology,
Nature Cure is the only scientific discipline that
studies the human system as a composite whole from the
viewpoint of Internal Ecology. When so much is said about
Environmental Pollution, Nature Cure appeals for a study
of Internal Systemic Pollution, the pollution of our
digestive system and our blood stream - and even mental
pollution. Nothing is beyond the ken of Nature Cure so
far as human health is concerned.
The title of the book is not misnomeric because, after
all, maintenance and restoration of health is a science.
Health needs to be every individual’s concern; our
health is our own responsibility. The sooner we realise
this, the better for all of us. Most of us are seekers of
short-cuts and shirkers of responsibility. But, when the
responsibility for our health and disease is laid at the
door of medical men, it mostly proves infructuous and
sometimes disastrous. If we won’t find time for
health, we shall have to find time for illness.
Investment of time, energy and money in health pays
highest dividends. It is best not to lose health in
pursuit of wealth, for, health is the first wealth.
