By virtue of the specialized knowledge of Medical Astrology (a branch of astrology ), astrologers can diagnose about the planets which are disease makers and what kind of diseases may occur in near future. Conventional therapeutic techniques in Astrology
Generally, astrologers adopt the following techniques: (i) Gem therapy: It is the most conventional of all the techniques
of astrological therapy. The gems corresponding to the colours of planets are used to redirect planetary influences in a positive
way (Frawley, 1990). (ii) Mantras (Words of power): Mantras are power full means of
treatment inherited by Sages and other Man of God directly form the supreme. It is an occult formula to eradicate various
worries, troubles and desires (Pahwa, 1998). (iii) Yantras (power of diagram): Yantras are possess a special
energy pattern and is the visible form of mantra on one side and the planet on the other to which it (yantra) corresponds
(Frawley, 1990). (iv) Special rituals (Pujas and homes): As the planets are
considered as living entity in astrology, pujas and homes are conducted to please them so that their malefic influences can be minimized or avoided. But there is also a scientific reason behind homes. During homes, many kinds of perfumed items are ignited collectively. The smoke and gases released form them produce a special kind of antibiotic which sterilize the surrounding. Thus, disease producing factors are destroyed
and a pure environment is availed (Shrivastava, 2001). (v) Herbs and metals: Some times astrologers suggest their clients
to use herbs and metals to alleviate the malefic nature of
planets. In addition to these, right diet, right colour of dresses, right location, right living pattern, observance of fast are also included as therapeutic ingredients in astrology.
The above stated conventional methods of astrological therapies aim at the alleviation of malefic nature of planets, yet they found many inherent complexities.
