What is Medical Astrology and How is it linked to Naturopathy and Ayurveda?
Medical astrology studies your health with the positions and influences of celestial bodies like planets and stars at the time of your birth. In simple words, it suggests that the alignment of these celestial bodies can impact your physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, certain planetary positions might be linked to particular health conditions or areas of life that may need attention.
When combined with Naturopathy and Ayurveda, medical astrology can enhance your approach to health by providing a more personalized treatment plan. Naturopathy focuses on natural healing through diet, herbs, and lifestyle changes, while medical astrology identifies areas of the body that need care. Ayurveda aims to balance the body’s energies (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), with Medical Astrology guiding which elements are imbalanced, tailoring treatments like herbs, diet, and lifestyle adjustments to restore balance.
In essence, Medical Astrology helps deepen the understanding of your health, improving the outcomes of Naturopathy and Ayurveda through tailored, individual care.

Teaching Faculty
Dr. Om, BNYS, MBA, Bangkok, Thailand
Dr. Om, a qualified Naturopath (BNYS), here to guide you on your journey to health and success. As a naturopath, diet consultant, counselor, teacher, and vedic astrologer, I integrate Medical Astrology into my practice to gain deeper insights into health and overall well-being. In addition to my background in natural healthcare, I am also a qualified engineer and hold an MBA, with the privilege of enjoying a successful professional career in the engineering field for over 30 years across various countries. However, my deep-rooted inspiration from nature’s healing wisdom led me to pursue formal education in Naturopathy. Today, I dedicate myself to helping individuals take charge of their health through natural and holistic means. Medical Astrology, an ancient yet profoundly insightful system, uncovers the deeper connections between planetary influences and your physical, emotional, and mental health. With this knowledge, I recommend personalized natural solutions rooted in Ayurvedic principles. I believe in the healing power of nature and the impact of small, meaningful steps toward one’s personal goals. |
