The Healing Powers of Sunlight - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, titled "The Healing Powers of Sunlight" offers a poignant glimpse into a bygone era. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, it captures a moment at Dr. Rollier's home for the cure of tuberculosis in Leysin, Switzerland. In this image, we see little patients lying under the warm embrace of sunlight. Their fragile bodies rest on open-air beds as they receive nature's healing touch. The scene exudes tranquility and hope, illustrating how sunlight was believed to play a vital role in treating tuberculosis during that time. This powerful illustration originally appeared in Safer Motherhood edited by Sir William Arbuthnot Lane in 1932. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on educating mothers about health and wellbeing for their children. Dr. Rollier himself is known as a renowned healer who dedicated his life to helping those afflicted with tuberculosis. His innovative approach combined fresh mountain air with exposure to sunlight – an unconventional yet effective treatment method. Through this timeless photograph, we are transported back to an era when medical knowledge was evolving rapidly but still held onto traditional beliefs about natural remedies. It reminds us that even amidst adversity and illness, there is always room for hope and healing through nature's gentle touch.
