Astrology, Prakriti Therapy ( Naturopathy ) & Holistic Medicine

In the Holistic Model, the cause of any disease is understood in terms of

the whole person and not in terms of a particular organ or tissue. As Sir

William Osler put it, it is more import to know the patient who has the

disease than the disease of the patient. The one person who knows about the

patient more than anybody else is the patient himself. Peter and Elizabeth

Allbright in Body Mind & Spirit state that " responsibility for healthcare

rests in the patient's hands because that is where the knowledge & control

of the variables lie ( diet,stress,exercise,genetics,emotion,medication) ".

" Food is medicine; Medicine is food " said Hippocrates and Upanishads

declare that " Food is Brahman. Food was verily born before all creatures:

therefore it is called the medicine for all". By stating that food is the

panacea for all ills and illnesses the Upanishads have formulated one

of the foundational principles of holistic health. At least half the

diseases & ailments of man can be traced directly or indirectly to the

problems of food. Diet control is the basic principle of Naturopathy. Nature

is the Doctor and natural foods can cure ailments. Nature & Naturopathy

are ruled by Jupiter, the planet of Wisdom. In India Jyotish, Ayurveda,

Prakriti Therapy are all interrelated disciplines and part of esoterica.

Astrology can bring tranquillity to the patient by showing him how the

cohesive forces of Destiny operate. The patient can achieve what

Keats called the Negative Capability - a stoic indifference to pleasure

and pain.

To bear all naked truths,

That envisage Circumstance, all calm

That is the top of sovereignty.

By accepting the divine decrees of Fate the patient can feel the inner

calmness and achieve an altered state ( EEG brain waves at 8.5 cycles

per second - alpha state ). In this altered state natural healing chemicals

called endorphins are secreted into the blood system and healing takes

place naturally.
