א. דַּע, שֶׁיֵּשׁ לְכָל עֵשֵֶׂב וָעֵשֶׂב כּחַ מְיֻחָד לְרַפְּאוֹת אֵיזֶהוּ חוֹלַאַת מְיֻחֶדֶת, וְכָל זֶה אֵינוֹ לְמִי שֶׁלּא שָׁמַר אֱמוּנָתוֹ וּבְרִיתוֹ, וְלא שָׁמַר אֶת עַצְמוֹ מִלַּעֲבר. עַל "אַל תְּהִי בָּז לְכָל אָדָם". אֲבָל מִי שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ אֱמוּנָה בִּשְׁלֵמוּת, וְהוּא גַם כֵּן שׁוֹמֵר הַבְּרִית וּמְקַיֵּם "אַל תְּהִי בָּז לְכָל אָדָם", אֵין רְפוּאָתוֹ תּוֹלָה בְּחֶלְקֵי עֲשָׂבִים הַמְיֻחָדִים לְחוֹלַאתּוֹ, אֶלָּא נִתְרַפֵּא בְּכָל מַאֲכָל וְכָל מַשְׁקֶה בִּבְחִינַת "וּבָרֵךְ אֶת לַחְמְךָ" וְכוּ', וְאֵין צָרִיךְ לְהַמְתִּין עַד שֶׁיִּתְרַמּוּ לוֹ עֲשָׂבִים הַמְיֻחָדִים לְרַפְּאוֹתוֹ.

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
Know! each and every herb has its own unique power to heal a specific illness. But this is only for a person who did not guard his faith and sexual purity, and did not keep from transgressing “Do not despise any man” (Avot 4:3). However, when one has complete faith and also maintains sexual purity and fulfills “Do not despise any man,” his cure is not dependent upon particular types of herbs. Rather, he is healed by all food and drink, as in “And He blessed your bread” (Exodus 23:25). He does not have to rely upon receiving particular herbs to be cured.

ג. לְצָרַעַת מַזִּיק דְּבָרִים מְלוּחִים וּרְפוּאָתוֹ מַיִם חַיִּים. וְסִימָן לַדָּבָר: "יְגָרַע נִטְפֵי מָיִם", הַיְנוּ צָרַעַת הַבָּא מֵהִתְגַּבְּרוּת הַדָּם עַל הַמַּיִם, שֶׁבּוֹ "יָזקּוּ מָטָר לְאֵדוֹ", [יָזקּוּ לְשׁוֹן הֶזֵּק].

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
Salty things aggravate leprosy, whereas fresh water cures it. This is alluded to in the verse (Job 36:27), “When He diminishes the drops of water”—namely, leprosy, which stems from blood overpowering the water in the body—then, *“yazoku matar I’eido* (the rain is distilled into His cloud).” The word *yazoku,* “distilled,” can alternatively be translated as “causing harm.”
