The base cause of 'disease' is Toxemia.
To rid oneself of disease is to to rid oneself of Toxemia.
To rid oneself of Toxemia one needs a complete physiological rest.
That means no 'input' till the 'output', the disease, crisis etc. is
complete.
A major part of physiological rest is relaxation, an effective way to relax
is to close the eyes i.e. cease external stimuli. When external stimuli
becomes less of an issue, a commensurate amount of Nervous Energy is
conserved.
The more Nervous Energy available the sooner the Toxemia is rid from the
body.
Hence closing the the eyes can be very therapeutic.
