Sunshine
“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the mind.”
- Luther Burbank
Air
"For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth."
- Sanskrit Proverb
Exercise
"Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it."
- Plato
Water
“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
- Margaret Atwood
Food
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
- Hippocrates
Sleep
“Sleep is the best meditation.”
- Dalai Lama
Laughter
“Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine.”

Nature
“The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.”
- Voltaire
Meditation
“The more one meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be their world and the world at large.”

Love
"Love is a medicine for the sickness of the world; a prescription often given, too rarely taken."
- Karl Menninger
Bonus Medicine - Music
"Philosophers of all ages have dwelt upon the importance of music as both an outlet for the spirit and emotions and as discipline for the mind. It is generally recognized that music gives access to regions in the subconscious that can be reached in no other way."
~Sophie Lewis Hutchinson Drinker (1888–1967), Music and Women, 1948
"Let a person be stimulated by poetry, established in character by the rules of propriety, and perfected by music."
- Confucius
