Ayurveda and Astrology

In ancient sciences, especially in Vedic Sciences, Jyotish Shastra (Astrology) has been given a special importance. Both astrology and Ayurveda have developed four thousand years ago are present in the ancient Sanskrit texts. This was the time when the early versions of the Ayurvedic thesis – the Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita – were developed.

Ayurveda provides treatments to remedy the diseases, whereas astrology provides suggestions to correct the effects of the harmful positions of the planets. Ayurveda directly indicates the necessity of astrology in completing its treatment procedures. By rectifying the bad influence of the planetary positions, diseases can be cured – this is one of the fundamental points under which Ayurveda works. Whether the diseases are of a simple type – like coughs, cold, fevers, constipation – or of a very complicated type – like diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular problems or mental problems – they can be treated over time with an effective balance of astrology and Ayurveda.
