Libra most often has good immunity, a fairly strong constitution, a good figure and a handsome build (the rule of Venus). The kidneys and the lumbar region are the weakest points, as is the whole lower back. Such illnesses as diabetes, skin complaints, allergy, nephritis, ailments of the head (Mars in exile) and of the stomach are possible; in the main the illnesses that strike people of this sign are internal. It is good to take up dancing or rhythmic gymnastics and to strengthen the back muscles and the spine (the exaltation of Saturn), for example with yoga exercises. Representatives, and especially the women, of this sign are often very fond of sweet things, which leads to extra kilos, all the more so since few of them are fond of physical exertion (Mars in exile). Libra, however, is mostly disciplined and can deal with excess weight. The lower back should not be allowed to get cold. The plants of Libra: herbs - cowberry, bearberry, bilberry, stone bramble, clover, wood sorrel, knotgrass, madder; shrubs - rowan, elder, raspberry, blackberry, juniper, guelder rose, currant leaves; fruit, vegetables and berries - watermelon, melon, pumpkin, apples, cherry, plum, dog rose, grapes. They are used in treating the kidneys, the skin, the hair, infertility, the blood vessels and disorders of carbohydrate metabolism; vegetable and fruit juices are very beneficial.
