Sunlight and hot and cold temperatures can sometimes be irritants that assist the body in forming harmful substances that become allergens, but sunlight can also change the colors around us: yellow into orange, light green into forest green, light blue into navy, purple into lavender, pink into red, and red into fire-orange. In folk medicine colors are often used to promote healing. Ailments: irritated, blurry eyes; loss of energy; “hot”

head; headache; skin rash.

Remedies:

When sunbeams pass through a glass of different colors, they can be an effective treatment for various ailments, including those of the skin and eyes. This is described in the oldest world science—astrology. Keep an open mind and let’s explore this further. In an ancient Indian manuscript, astrology is described as “a natural daughter, born of a liaison and love of strong numbers and perspicacious intuition.” Intuition told astrologers, and experimentation confirmed to scientists, that when sunbeams pass through a glass, they become a healing energy. This was considered in astrology as a display of one of the laws of Mother Nature.

Sunbeams contain a spectrum of seven colors, given in accordance with the seven planets:

Red — Mars

Navy — Venus

Yellow — Mercury

Green — Saturn

Purple — Jupiter

Orange — Sun

Violet — Moon

r 55. Red, the color of Mars, is useful in the treatment of inflammatory processes. A person who is suffering from inflammation would be advised to retire to a room where red is the predominant color, 106 ^ Mama’s Home Remedies

from wal s to bedspreads. The sunbeams penetrating that room wil also be red. Although many people equate the color red with attention and emergency, according to astrology, it is a natural healer and plays an important role in warning us of diseases such as colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia.

r 56. Navy blue acts as a sedative for intelectual people who are involved in intensive brainwork. Adding navy blue curtains or a lampshade to a bedroom can be an excel ent source of calming and relaxation for people who have weak eyesight or suffer a nervous disorder or mental disease.

r 57. Green also acts as a sedative and is an especialy effective healer for people with irritated, blurry eyes, affected by an al ergic reaction. r 58. Orange calms the appetite.

r 59. Yellow acts as a healer for people with intestinal disorders. r 60. Purple is useful for treating blood and liver diseases. r 61. Violet treats nervous disorders and vegetative neurosis. Al these claims were researched in Russia, Italy, and France. I have experimented with the colors green, orange, violet, and navy. These colors have worked for me. I believe that they work for me because the colors are managed by the Earth and are destined to heal al diseases that occur on our planet. There is also a principle of sympathy and antipathy concerning these colors and, when we fully understand how this mysterious kaleidoscope of colors work, our optimum health will be the benefit we derive from them. Look how the green color from Mother Nature can work for us.

A Sickness of the 21st Century @ 107

The Green Savior

Once upon a time a big city gathered so much

dust, smoke, and odorous, toxic fumes that the

people who lived there could no longer breathe easily. They got sinus infections and nasal drops that their doctors prescribed for them, didn’t help at all. Purple and blue violets, pale pink hyacinths, bright yellow daisies, red tulips and carnations, “orange gypsies”—marigolds, white tiger lilies, and creamy climbing roses were asphyxiated by gasoline and died in the city parks and gardens by the thousands.

The blooming bird-cherry trees had dried before the eyes after breathing in the city air. The beautiful tall maples “burned” down. The acorns, poisoned by the city’s fumes and smoke, fell down from the powerful gigantic oaks. The red ash-berries on the blossoming rowan trees got sick with allergies from the city dust and pollution.

The citizens complained, “What a mess! How can we rid our city of this pollution? We are sick and no longer have clean air.”

They screamed, “Help! Help! Can anyone hear us in this world?”

Their cries awakened a thick, emerald forest that had stood near the city for many years. In an effort to help the desperate people, the forest assembled an army of tree soldiers. Pines, firs, birches, mountain ashes, oaks, and poplars marched into the city in well-proportioned columns, spreading their saving oxygen everywhere. The toxins in the air became panic stricken.

“We cannot breathe anymore! We are dying! The tree soldiers are choking us!” they yelled.

When the dust, toxins, and bacteria smelled the fragrant needles of the pines, they felt strangled and were caught up in a tornado funnel and swept away by the big, leafy, green boughs. The fresh green mist that filled the city carried the scent of a forest in the spring. The heavy, dank, and poisonous air became light and fragrant with the scent of pine, fir, and birch. It was also scented with heavenly jasmine and wild rosemary, thyme, and basil.
