Chapter 95: Medicine<\/p>\n
Kural 941<\/p>\n
Disease is but deficiency or excess of three life forces,
\ndefined by writers of scientific texts as air, fire and water.
\nKural 942<\/p>\n
The body requires no medicine if you eat
\nonly after the food you have already eaten is digested.
\nKural 943<\/p>\n
Once digestion is complete, eat with moderation;
\nthat is the way to prolong the life of the body.
\nKural 944<\/p>\n
Assured the last meal has digested and sensing a keen appetite,
\nsavor only foods that are fully agreeable.
\nKural 945<\/p>\n
Life remains unharmed when one eats with restraint,
\nrefraining from foods that have proven disagreeable.
\nKural 946<\/p>\n
The pleasures of health abide in the man who eats moderately.
\nThe pains of disease dwell with him who eats excessively.
\nKural 947<\/p>\n
The thoughtless glutton who gorges himself beyond the limits
\nof his digestive fires will be consumed by limitless ills.
\nKural 948<\/p>\n
Diagnose the illness, trace its cause,
\nseek the appropriate remedy and apply it skillfully.
\nKural 949<\/p>\n
An accomplished doctor prescribes a remedy after considering
\nthe patient’s nature, the disease’s nature and the time of year.
\nKural 950<\/p>\n
