Scorpio Health ~ Recommended Vitamins, Herbs, and Other Considerations (2418 hits)

Scorpio (the Scorpion) is the 8th sign of the Western zodiac. People born between October 23rd and November 21st (some charts state November 22) are born under the constellation Scorpio.

Scorpio is a Water sign. In the language of astrology, this means Scorpions are people who are silent, mysterious types whose magic hypnotizes even the most determined realist. They have uncanny perceptions about people and as rich as the oceans when it comes to feeling, emotion, or imagination. They are emotional and intuitive.

Scorpions have the potential for the depths of darkness or the heights of mysticism and art. This sign (or people born under this sign) help finish projects started by others and are also very supportive and passive creatures. They have a very strong desire and inclination to please. Like other Water signs, they live through their emotions, imaginations, and intuitions.

Scorpio's astrological statement is "I desire!" This can cause Scorpions to be very materialistic creatures, especially if they don't get in tune with their spiritual side of existence. In tune with their spiritual side, they are very balanced creatures; however, it is important for this sign to not cling to one extreme of the pole, being very spiritual to the detriment of their material side and nature, or being very material and to the detriment of their spiritual side. Balance is key.

Keywords that describe this sign are: Sensitivity, Transformation, Mastery (especially self-mastery), Suspicious, Covert, Trauma, Self-destruction, Vindictive, Magnetism, Power, s*xuality, and Controlling.

Scorpio's ideal sign for marriage compatibility is Taurus, its astrological opposite. The reason why astrological opposites or polarities make the best soul mates or marriage partners (despite otherwise being an incompatible sign) is due to the fact that there are so many challenges when opposites signs connect, but when these challenges are overcome (as they are in time), you have two very balanced individuals. The opposite of conflict is harmony so polar signs arrive at harmony in the end and experience a very balanced relationship.

Opposites signs help you to deal with your shadow side (or self), which manifests your negative traits. Your polar sign exposes you to hidden traits within yourself and help you to balance yourself, trait-wise. Your astrological opposite is your mirror upon which you can reflect upon.

Famous Scorpios

Famous Sun sign Scorpions include: Bill Gates, Ruby Dee, Larry King, Julia Roberts, Sean "P Diddy" Combs, Lisa Bonet, Meg Ryan, Nia Long, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Jodie Foster, Ike Turner, Whoopi Goldberg, Hilary Clinton, Jaleel White (Steve Urkel of the "Family Matters" TV show), Sinbad (comedian), Condoleeza Rice, Minnie Riperton, and Esther Rolle (Florida Evans of the "Good Times" TV show).

Astrological Health Profile

Scorpio is traditionally the most s*xual and most intense sign of the Zodiac. Befittingly in medical astrology, Scorpio governs the genitalia or s*x glands and yes, this explains why Scorpios are known to love s*x and have atrocious s*xual appetites. I have not met a Scorpio man or woman yet who does not have a strong s*xual desire and appetite for s*x! Not saying that this is a good or bad thing, but this sign is strongly and naturally governed by a powerful s*xual energy. Thus Scorpios are prone to diseases of the reproductive/s*xual system (mainly STD’s, s*xually transmitted diseases; prostatitis; ovarian and uterine fibroids/cysts; infertility and impotence; sterility; ******l discharges), uro-genital system (urinary tract infection); and intestinal-rectal problems (hemorrhoids, ulcers). Because Scorpio is the polarity (opposite) of Taurus, Scorpions can pick up health complaints commonly experienced by Taurus such as neck and throat problems.

Dietary Considerations

As all 12 Zodiac signs have been assigned a cell salt that helps maintain the health of the particular sign and which the sign requires more of than any other sign or person, Scorpio"s cell salt is Calcium Sulphate.

Since Scorpio is known as one of the zodiac's most passionate signs, this is a great time of year to serve up s*xy, love-enhancing menus. Here are some foods and spices you can share with your Scorpio spouse (or significant other) to create romantic moments.

1. Asparagus
Asparagus complies with the Doctrine of Signatures – if something resembles one thing, it aids the thing it resembles. Thus the slender phallic shape of the asparagus spear is said to provide extra energy, urinary tract well-being and increased hormone production.

2. Basil
Considered a Royal herb in India, basil is said to stimulate the s*x drive and boost fertility. This flavorful herb is used in Voodoo love ceremonies in Haiti. It is also said to produce a general sense of well being for body and mind.

3. Chocolate
Chocolate contains over 400 different chemicals including phenylethylamine (PEA), a brain chemical that some scientists believe arouses the same feelings we experience when we are in love. The Aztecs referred to chocolate as the "nourishment of the Gods". Legend has it that Montezuma drank 50 cups of cocoa before entering his harem of 600 women.

4. Strawberries
Strawberries are a perfect love food. Both innocent and s*xy, they are perfect for hand-feeding your lover. Try dipping them in chocolate, sour cream and brown sugar or whipped cream. Wild strawberries eaten with white port wine have the reputation of being a very powerful aphrodisiac.

5. Coffee
Fatigue can really squash romance. A quick cup of java can perk you up and put you in the mood for amour. In fact, coffee drinkers are almost twice as likely to describe themselves as s*xually active than non-coffee drinkers.

6. Ginger
The pungent root has been used for centuries throughout Asia and India as a powerful aphrodisiac. It can increase blood flow to the genitals in both men and women. Indian herbalists recommend eating a mixture of ginger juice, honey and half-boiled eggs to combat impotence. Young ladies in Europe baked and ate gingerbread men believing the ritual would bring them a husband.

7. Black Pepper
According to an ancient Arabic love manual, ground black pepper mixed with cardamom or lavender, galanga, musk, honey and ginger is a potent topical aphrodisiac for men. In India, peppercorns are crushed with almonds, mixed with milk and consumed as an aphrodisiac.

Herbs are black pepper, garlic, chicory, ginger, basil, nettles, horehound, butterbur, and wormwood.

Vitamins are B12, B-complex, C, E, zinc, folic acid, and potassium.
