Medical Astrology: Health by Your Zodiac Sign

The article, Health by Your Zodiac Sign, uses Stephanie Gailing's book, Planetary Apothecary: An Astrological Approach to Health and Wellness as a reference to achieving good health through zodiac signs. For example, my zodiac sign is Cancer. According to the article, to achieve good health I should avoid caffeine, keep slippery elm handy for hearth burn, and eat plenty of broccoli and cauliflower.
Medical astrology—the practice of an astrological sign ruling over a specific body part—may be keeping you healthy. Adapted from the book by Stephanie Gailing, Planetary Apothecary: An Astrological Approach to Health and Wellness, check out which regions of the body are taken over by your sign and which foods will support your health:

Honestly, I don't believe the zodiac sign has anything to do with having good health, but the article does give good advice about what foods to avoid and what foods to eat more of. Check out the article, see for yourself if you achieve better health by what your sign suggests.

  1. I have to admit that when I first saw this topic I rolled my eyes and wondered what you were thinking. It appears to me, though, that you approached this information with a skeptic's eye and did a nice job of trying to discern what information was useful and what was maybe a little bit "out there". Good work on that.

    Overall this is a really good post. Good job on that, too. I do need to remind you to label every post "current event". You should also get in the habit of double-checking your links (the link to your article doesn't work...)
