Skin Diseases and Mercury

By Kshitij Sharma, December 9, 2016

Our solar system consists of nine planets. Out of these 7 planets are considered in Astrology. According to Vedic Astrology, these seven planets represent parts of our bodies. Mercury is the ruler or significator of our skin. Strong Mercury in a chart represents vibrant skin. Afflicted Mercury in the chart represents diseases related to the skin, whereas a glowing and healthy skin is the sign of strong mercury.

TYPES OF SKIN DISEASE AND ITS ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIES
In this article, we are looking at how skin diseases are governed by Mercury and its various afflictions. Natural malefic planets Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Sun affect Mercury in different ways. Rahu indicates problem with diagnosis of the diseases, Saturn is dry planet and Mars and Sun cause fiery diseases, which can cause wounds or festers to appear over various parts of the body. While Mercury represents skin, the afflicted house and sign will determine which part of the body and its skin will be affected, e.g., for face, 1st house will be involved, etc.


ECZEMA
According to Wikipedia around 3.5 % of world population is suffering from this disease. The root cause of this disease is still unclear. Its symptoms can hence be linked with Rahu. We have seen many cases where the Rahu-Mercury combination can give such problems. Mercury Rahu combination in a particular house signifies problem in the body part owned by the house. For example, if t this combination lies in 3rd house, then arms could suffer from Eczema.

ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIES:
Donate blankets to the needy ones and wear Emerald can improve the condition.


DANDRUFF
Often misunderstood by people that dandruff is a hairy issue. But it is related to skin. Dandruff is quite a common problem faced by around 50% of the planet. Dry skin is the most common reason for this problem. Dandruff is an on and off issue. In winters, it’s become extreme. Saturn is a dry planet (शुष्क ग्रह). So, role of Saturn influence over mercury is quite necessary for dandruff. It’s a scalp disorder so, Aries sign must also be affected by a Saturn Mercury combination.

ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIES:
Donate sesame and groundnut.


PIMPLES/BOILS
According to Ayurveda reason for having pimples is due toexcess of Pitta (पित्त). Influence of strong Sun and Mars over ascendant and Mercury could be one of the astrological reasons for it. Although it appears to be a small issue, but recent researches reveal that in some patients the agony of acne may result in depression. This should be recognized and managed.

ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIES:
Donate wheat and jaggery every week. Avoid spicy eatables.


PSORIASIS
This is also a problem of diagnosis. Around 2% to 4% of world population is suffering from this mysterious disease. Till date, primary root cause of this disease is unknown. Because of sudden outbreak or visibility, it make a great negative impact on the mental level of the native. Relation of Mercury with Rahu-Ketu axis is a major astrological factor for it.

ASTROLOGICAL REMEDIES:
Feeding birds and by providing medicines to the needy patients are the two very effective remedies.


There are lots of other skin disease too. Covering all those disease in just one article is quite difficult.Apart from above prescribed remedies, one sure shot remedy for any kind of skin disease is the Emerald. Emerald is the natural gemstone of Mercury. So, by wearing this green stone one can boost up the traits of aforesaid planet. And ultimately achieve unblemished and glowing skin.

A good quality emerald might be out of the budget for a large section of society. For them Peridot and Green onyx are very options. On the recommendation of a competent Astrologer one should wear Emerald for skin related issues.

    three points are considered highly charged with negative lords or dusthanas, 6, 12, 8
    6th house gives deiseaces
    12 th house loss and expenditure
    8 th house death like situations or dead line where no life or new beginings.

    if planet mercury is afflicted due to the connection with any of these houses then the results are worst
