Early physicians were also astrologers who planned their treatments by the phases of the Moon and movements of the planets. Knowing that Capricorn is an Earth Sign associated with the bones, knees and joints, the ancients prescribed yellow dock tea to tone and cleanse the system. Prone to arthritis and rheumatism, you can avoid these by eating foods rich in nutrients your body requires. You particularly need plenty of chard, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage, onions, lentils, soybeans, almonds, avocados, peaches, strawberries, oranges, dates, figs, oysters and shrimp. Aromatherapy is ideal for lessening Capricorn stress: add 4 drops pine oil mixed with 1 teaspoon milk to your bath water for a soothing soak. Capricorn’s can be increased with a power drink: mix two tablespoons of ginseng with your favorite fruit juice. The ancients' secret: start extensive health regimen one day after the New Moon and end them on or before the Full Moon.
