In a number of books and in manuscripts and letters, Mrs. White set forth principles of healthful living that have stood the test of time and scientific research and urged the value of natures remedies: sunlight, fresh air, healthful food, pure water, exercise, temperance, rest, and trust in divine care. Statements regarding herbs, found in Mrs. Whites writings, say, there are simple herbs that can be used for the recovery of the sick;that there are certain, herbs that grow for the benefit of man; that there are herbs that are harmless, the use of which will tide over many apparently serious difficulties; and that leave no injurious effects in the system as do drugs. Emphasis is given to ascertaining and removing the cause of sickness, and the methods of treatment that are urged in the Testimonies are such as will give nature an opportunity to carry forward the healing processes.
