Aries

Those born under the sign of Aries are associated with the choleric humour, usually displaying a hot and dry temperament. Physiologically, the sign is connected to the head, face, adrenal glands, and suprarenal glands. Due to their sun-sign, individuals are susceptible to suffering intense headaches and migraines. Inflammation is a common ailment that they face. Staying out of the sun may prove beneficial, as they may become vulnerable to sunstroke. Other medical concerns linked to an Aries include fevers, skin irritations, ringworm, smallpox, epilepsy, toothaches, baldness, strokes, and head injuries.

While an Aries may seem able to deal with stressful situations, too much tension can cause one to encounter a rash of headaches, fevers, and disorders that affect the digestive system. When looking for foods and herbs to heal this zodiac sign, rhubarb, tomatoes, nettles, and briony have brought relief in the past. It is usually suggested for an Aries to follow a balanced diet (full of nutrients), as well as gain enough sleep on a regular basis in order to stay healthy. Those who exhibit a temper should also learn how to calm this irritation, as this clearly drains energy.
