"Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said, Someone with a headache should busy himself with Torah, as it is said, `For they shall be a diadem of grace for your head' (Proverbs 1:9).
Someone with a sore throat should busy himself with Torah, as it is said, `and chains about your neck' (ibid.).
Someone with stomach pains should busy himself with Torah, as it is said, `it shall be health to your navel' (ibid. 3:8).
Someone with aching bones should busy himself with Torah, as it is said, `and marrow to your bones' (ibid.).
And if his whole body is aching, he should busy himself with Torah, as it is said (ibid. 4:22), `and health to all his flesh'" (Eruvin ibid.).
