An ancient saying….

…which I translated from the original Sanskrit overnight:

When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use.

When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.

Ayurveda proverb

The picture is of Dhanvantari….incarnation of Krishna, Lord of Ayurveda.

Okay, our farm manager Duane Ard, came across the quote and knows I’m a sucker for this sort of thing.  The rest is from Wikipedia.

While I like the quote, I’m not so sure about Ayurveda, a forerunner of what we now call alternative medicine.  Seems to be that “the lord” and his followers prescribed a lot of questionable medicines, things that were somewhat heavy on the heavy metals.
