Do not
neglect medical treatment when it
is necessary, but
leave it off when health has been restored. Treat disease through diet, by
preference, refraining from the use of drugs; and if you find what is required
in a single herb, do not resort to a compounded medicament... Abstain from
drugs when the health is good, but administer them when necessary.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Quoted in ‘Baha'u'llah
and the New Era’, by John Esslemont; compilation: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
