Drugs - prescribed
Treat disease through diet, by preference, refrain 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 health is good, but administer them when necessary.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era, p. 106
The purpose of a remedy is to heal and cure. If it be productive of worse symptoms, its absence or discontinuance is preferable.

Quote of the Day
Fidal 5 Mulk 182 B.E.
The malign effects of the widespread use of alcoholic beverages upon almost every society in the world cannot but confirm every Bahá’í in the wisdom of Bahá’u’lláh in banning its use, thereby shielding faithful believers from a legion of difficulties.
