Medical astrology

Medical astrology is the idea that different parts of the body, diseases and drugs are under the influence of different planets and signs. For example the "hot" foods are under the influence of mars. Many plants are referred to in old herbals as being "under the influence of venus" or some such. These were used as a codification of the plants properties and used to create mixtures specific to different diseases.
