MEDICAL ASTROLOGY

Medical Astrology, or Ayurvedic Jyotish, is an ancient science that connects the movement of celestial bodies with human health. It helps us understand how planetary energies influence our physical constitution (Prakriti), mental state, and disease tendencies. This sacred knowledge bridges Ayurveda and Astrology, offering a holistic way to diagnose and heal.

Connection Between Planets and the Body

Medical Astrology & Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, imbalance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha leads to disease. Medical Astrology helps identify which dosha is influenced by planetary energy, allowing a more personalized healing approach.

For example:

A Pitta-dominant horoscope with strong Sun or Mars may indicate acidity, inflammation, or hypertension.

A Vata-dominant chart under Saturn’s influence may show anxiety, arthritis, or insomnia.

A Kapha-dominant person affected by Moon or Jupiter imbalance may face obesity, diabetes, or lethargy.

By studying the birth chart (Janma Kundali), an Ayurvedic astrologer can identify potential health issues before they manifest.

According to Vedic tradition, each planet governs specific organs, systems, and functions in the body:

Planet Body Parts & Organs Related Dosha Influence

Sun (Surya) Heart, eyes, spine Pitta Vitality, digestion, immunity

Moon (Chandra) Mind, blood, fluids Kapha Emotions, sleep, hormonal balance
