St. Theophan the Recluse wrote: “...Prayer is prayer, and doctors are doctors, and God has given doctors, and it is God’s will to turn to them. The Lord comes with His help when the natural means He provided for us are not enough. Therefore, we will pray, but we should not neglect natural means. Seek and you will find.” Brief biographies and instructions of Orthodox saints, prayers for various ailments, in mourning for the dead, prayers of gratitude for the Lord’s gift of healing, recipes for infusions and healing mixtures, secrets of treatment with honey and other bee products. May this book help you in difficult times, and may the Lord hear your prayers and send healing and peace to those praying.
