ancient times. Many of our modern day medicines are derived from these
herbs, but modified slightly in order to obtain a patent. The list below
shows some of the herbs associated with astrological signs. You can add
these herbs to your diet based upon your zodiac sign. If you have a specific
ailment, look at the herb associated with the body part ruled by that
