Vedic Medical Astrology

Medical Astrology is a science that analyzes how the 9 planets, the Sun the Moon and the North and South Lunar nodes are related to each part of the human body and how their positions affect our physical and mental health. According to the planetary conditions and their related diseases and body parts, healing methods and medicine are prescribed. A person’s zodiac also plays an important role in the diagnosis, identifying the causes and treatment for the same. Many of us would be surprised to know that a few centuries ago, Astrology and Medicine were part of the same umbrella, and a person needed to be proficient in both to treat an ailment. 

In the modern-day, a balanced approach can be employed when a person is suffering from an ailment. Medical Astrology can advise them on the diagnosis and treatment plan prescribed by their doctor and also both, the doctor and the medical astrologer can come up with a combination of herbs and dietary requirements to completely heal the person, ensuring it doesn’t reoccur. 

While it takes years of practice and knowledge to learn and understand medical astrology, here is a basic idea of each body part and the cosmic bodies and zodiac signs related to them. The order starts from Aries (Head) and ends at Pisces (Toe).

It is important to note here that you need to look at the diseases and corresponding body parts as per your moon and ascendant sign and not the sun sign. The logic is simple, the Moon is way closer to Earth than the Sun and hence can affect us much more than the Sun.
