Herbs For Your Zodiac Sign
The following herbs have been chosen to medicinally help your astrological Karma; they have been chosen for your particular sign by function, color, sharpness, and sometimes even taste.
Aries (March 21-April 9)Symbol: RamElement: FireRuling Planet: MarsHerbs:
By virtue of Mars, their ruling planet, Aries tend to get over-heated and need a bit of cooling. Aries would prefer a double cappuccino, but they're better served by calming teas containing rose petals, hops and yucca. Mars rules the immune system, which makes these herbs even more appropriate. Though it's "heated", basil helps keep Aries in good health with its antibiotic properties.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)Symbol: BullElement: EarthRuling Planet: VenusHerbs:
Their propensity for "grazing" and putting on pounds can leas Taurus to pancreas-related troubles. Stevia, dandelion, alfalfa, lamb's quarter and clovers serve them best.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)Symbol: CrabRuling Planet: MoonHerbs:
Cancers tend to suffer from depleted energy an are prone to illnesses like stomach flu. Often overly fatigued, they benefit from the stimulant properties of cocoa. Blue vervain, lettuces, cleavers, lavender and woodruff are also very beneficial to Cancer personalities.
