Classical ailments
Cancer, as a water element, is linked to body fluids, stomach, chest and the lymphatic system. Classical texts interpret stomach ulcer, hyperacidity, reflux, lymphatic swelling, breast complaints, water retention, and the somatic reflection of emotion in the body with this sign. Moon rulership is seen as the quick reflection of emotional change in digestion.
Galenic remedy
Galenic treatment: moist-warm soothers — oat porridge, chamomile, fennel. Dry brush massage for lymphatic circulation. Milk and wheat sensitivities should be checked. Emotional grief leaves through the stomach; talking and journaling are therapeutic. Avoid stressful eating.
Modern note
⚠ Persistent stomach pain, reflux, breast warnings are reason enough to see a doctor. Lymph node changes should be taken seriously.
