Taurus Astrological Health Profile and Dietary Considerations

Astrological Health Profile

Zodiac signs govern the entire human body. The part of the body that Taurus governs is the neck and throat.

As Taurus governs the neck and throat, Taureans have to be aware of their specific astrological-based health needs that are health needs of the throat and neck areas primarily, and the respiratory system secondarily.

Therefore, Taureans are prone to such diseases and disorders as:

• Itchy/scratchy throat
• Tonsillitis
• Sore throat (hoarseness)
• Hypothyroidism (goiter)
• Hyperthyroidism
• Laryngitis
• Neck pain
• Graves disease
• Bronchitis
• Asthma
• Pneumonia
• Metabolism dysfunction (which leads to weight problems, mostly obesity.)

Taureans need to maintain optimal thyroid function and keep their throats clear. To stimulate the thyroid gland, simply tap your throat three times with your fingertips. Also try doing this whenever you have difficulty expressing yourself.

In addition, neck massage is also important to the health and well being of Taurus individuals.


Dietary Considerations

Taureans tend to gain excess weight and can quickly become obese. Taurus is ruled by Venus and is thus a lover of good food and drink. And because Taurus can be quite lazy, excess pounds gather and add up rather quickly; so the Taurus must move, must be mobile, and should not be sedentary for the sake of their own health.

Taureans should make sure to get adequate amounts of sodium. Sodium is the necessary cell-salt of Taurus. Great sources of natural sodium include Seaweed (dulse, kelp, etc.), Celery, and sea salt.

From time to time, the Taurus individual should gargle with warm water and sea salt, which is for the maintenance of the throat. I also recommend long soaks in hot water and sea salt for Taurus individuals.

Taureans should also get adequate amounts of Iodine in their diet. The best natural source of iodine (organic iodine) is seaweeds: dulse, kelp, spirulina, blue green algae, red marine sea algae, chlorella, Irish Moss, bladder wrack.
