Baha'u'llah recognizes the value of both material and spiritual remedies.

He teaches that the science and art of healing must be developed, encouraged and perfected, so that all means of healing may be used to the best advantage, each in its appropriate sphere.
When members of Baha'u'llah's own family were sick, a professional physician was called in, and this practice is recommended to His followers.

He says: "Should ye be attacked by illness or disease, consult skillful physicians."-- Kitab-i-Aqdas.
This is quite in accordance with the Baha'i attitude towards science and art generally.

All sciences and arts which are for the benefit of mankind, even in a material way, are to be esteemed and promoted.

Through science man becomes the master of material things; through ignorance he remains their slave.
Baha'u'llah writes:-- Do not neglect medical treatment when it is necessary, but leave it off when health has been restored.
