Sun
is easily accessible to all. Through the sun
rays many ailments could be cured. This is
an amazing system of cure in Ayurved. It is
famous not only in India but all over the
world. In ancient Rome this system was very
popular and it was called Heliotherapy and
Chromopathy. |
The capital of
Italy, Rome is a very ancient city. The foundation
of the city was laid by the god Romulas who lives
in the mountain of Peletain. It is on his name
that the city gets its title Rome.
According to the
famous physician of Rome, Dr. Tilani in ancient
Rome there was no physician for almost 600 years.
The reason was that there was no need of a
physician. The ancient people of Rome used sun
rays, exercises and fresh air and water to keep
themselves hale and hearty. In those days Rome was
a very powerful kingdom.
According to the
natural physician Dr. Remson The nature has gifted
us with so many boons to keep the body healthy and
for attaining to longevity. But we have forgotten
these divine natural boons and we keep consuming
poisonous medicines with so many side effects. By
using medicines we not only waste money rather
also ruin our health further. Don't we need to
reflect upon this?
In the Roman
language Helio means sun and therapy means a
system of cure. In ancient Rome Heliotherapy or
rays of the sun and their various colours were
used to remedy several diseases and ailments. The
use of colours for cure is called Chromopathy.
Chromo means colour and pathy means system of
cure.
All things are
coloured. The stars and planets too emit certain
colours. When the animals and birds in the wild
get ill they imbibe sun rays early in the morning
in order to cure themselves. Through sun bathing
one can effect a cure without having to resort to
medicines. But the unfortunate thing is that today
humans are failing to benefit from this science.
Sun rays have
many colours which make the air pure and destroy
the microbes present in the atmosphere and the
water. This goes on naturally and all by itself.
The ancient Rishis used to worship the sun and
realised that sun rays could help one regain lost
health. Through the sun rays even chronic and old
ailments could be cured permanently.
In the most
ancient of texts, the Vedas there are verses
dedicated to the sun. Worship of the sun was very
popular in those times. The Gayatri Mantra that
appears in the Vedas is a prayer to the sun god.
In this Mantra a worshipper prays to sun to bestow
intelligence. The Mantra is also called Savita
Mantra that means Mantra of sun.
In Rigved it is
said -
Riju Marteshu
Drijinaa Cha Pashchan.
i.e. The sun is a
witness to all good and bad actions of humans,
In the ancient
times people used to take oath with sun as a
witness. They then used to fear committing any
sins.
The sun has been
called the soul of the living as well as the non
living world. It is said - Soorya Aatmaa
Jagatast- asthushashcha
In Rigved it is
said -
Noonam
Sooryenn Prasootaa Ayannarthaani Krinnavannpaansi
i.e. It is sun
that wakes one up from sleep. It is due to the sun
that all can work and are active.
Rigved also
states - All living beings of the creation depend
on the sun. The sun removes physical, mental and
spiritual weaknesses and makes one healthy and
long lived. For ailments of the heart, eyes,
jaundice, leprosy and weak mind sun could be
helpful.
Atharvaved states
that there are seven names of the sun which
represent the seven rays of the sun. One of the
names of sun is Sapt Rashmi or seven rays. The
Rishis in the ancient times did deep research and
Sadhanas and revealed that the sun has seven rays.
The theory of the
wheel of seven colours propounded by Newton has
been borrowed from the Vedas. According to modern
science if the seven colours namely violet,
indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red are
painted on a wheel and if the wheel is then
rotated fast then one gets to see the white colour.
This is why we see that the sun is white.
The seven colours
of the sun are very good and important for the
health. If early morning one has a bath and after
offering prayers to the Lord one has sun bath and
allows the sun rays to fall on one's body then one
could free the body of all ailments and increase
one's intelligence.
Following are the
gains of sun ray therapy.
1. Where sun rays
are allowed to fall there cannot be any ailment.
2. The sun rays
are free of side effects. By the use of sun rays
in fact the body could be made active and healthy
and one could enjoy life to the full.
Describing the
benefits of sun bathing and the effect of the
various colours of the sun rays it is said -
Sooryataapah
Swedavahah Sarvarog-vinaashakah.
Medachhed-karashcheiv
balotsaah-vivardhanah.
Dadruvisfotkushtthgrah
Kaamlaashoth-naashakah.
Jwaraatisaarshoolaanaam
Haarako Naatra Sanshayah.
Kafpittodbhavaan
Rogaan Vaatrogaanst-theiv cha.

i.e. The heat
from the sun increases perspiration and removes
all ailments. It also enhances body power and
enthusiasm. It removes all imbalances of the three
humours namely Vaat (air), Pitt (bile) and Kaf
(cough). It also cures leprosy, fever, pain and
weakness. Through sun ray therapy a person could
attain victory over all diseases and become long
lived. One can increase energy in the body and
live to an age of hundred.
From the sun rays
one gets vital life energy or Praann and also heat
both of which make the body healthy and long
lived. The sun rays are also instrumental in
producing the ozone gas which protects the earth
from harmful ultraviolet rays. Ozone increases the
body power and makes the blood pure. It also makes
the heart strong and the bones powerful.
In ancient Rome
there used to be many solariums where sun ray
therapy was done to remove ailments. Following is
the method of sun ray therapy.
Bring pure
water of the rain or of a mountain stream and fill
it in bottles of various colours. Close the mouth
of the bottle and seal with clay. Then place the
bottles in sun. After two or three days the effect
is produced in the water and the water becomes
miraculous. It has the property of removing
ailments. Make the patient drink a bit of the
water daily and soon he would be free of all
ailments.
According to the
expert in this field Dr. Levit water from a red
bottle energises the body. Such water also
removes ailments of the skin.
Water from yellow
bottle cures constipation and urinary
disorders.
Water from blue
bottle cures chronic skin diseases better than
