Well, when we are talking about prescription, then, why not find this foremost medicine from the medical field only?
God forbid, but let's say a person is suffering from the following symptoms:
Swollen and bleeding gums, immense pain in legs, bruised skin with blue spots, and difficulty in breathing… particularly after physical activities!
On witnessing these symptoms, the doctor diagnoses that the person is probably suffering from Scurvy– an illness caused due to the deficiency of Vitamin C. He then prescribes some tablets to be taken for a couple of days. After consuming the prescribed dose, the person becomes all fit and fine.
But does that mean 'Scurvy is cured?' No! Open medical manuals like Lange's Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment, MERCK's Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, Complete Guide to Illness and Injury, and The British National Health Service; you will find that the word 'cure' is not used. These medical bibles always recommend the 'Treatment for Scurvy' and not the 'Cure for Scurvy'. It is because 'Scurvy' can be treated by medicines but its cure is possible only through love. And, here comes the first prescription for healthy relationships, i.e. 'love'.
YES, IT IS LOVE WHICH IS THE FIRST AND FOREMOST MEDICINE TO CURE AND HEAL RELATIONSHIPS
Brian D. Earp, faculty of philosophy also affirms the possibility of truth hidden behind the saying that 'Love is a Medicine.' He says that as per research, it has been established that similar to the medicines, love also helps in activating the brain reward system through which we forget our pain.
