Diabetes isn't called the silent killer without reason. No longer just a disease but is almost an epidemic one that is spreading its tentacles insidiously the cause for diabetes is though to be due to the stress of modern day living or the almost unavoidable trap of an unhealthy lifestyle.

Diabetes is a condition where sugar in the blood stream is not processed adequately by the body and excess of it leaves the body with urine. The capacity of the endocrine glads and pancreas to produce insulin, which helps in breaking down of the blood sugar, is hampered. This is a grave disease because it progressively threatens functioning of other organ systems too. But apart from all the known causes for diabetes, there are a few other factors that might be a reason for it, one of them being certain factors in your birth chart. Here are a few factors that aid in recognizing diabetes or diabetic tendencies in an individual through his or her birth chart:

  • The house occupied by the zodiac sign of cancer: A experienced astrologer will be able to see if your birth chart is being afflicted or negatively aspected (or affected) by malefic planets, especially Saturn. The essence of Saturn, which is to be slow and obstructive, actually affects the functioning of the organs (like the pancreas) that are affected by the sign cancer.
  • Presence of a debilitated Venus: Venus is also known as Shukra in Hindi; sugary, rich and sweet things fall in its domain. Therefore, this planet gives a person a proclivity towards unhealthy foods.
  • Venus conjunct (sitting along with), afflicted or negatively aspected by Mars: This is an almost certain indicator of the possibility of developing diabetes at some stage in a person's life.
  • The second and the fourth house of the individual's horoscope give sound indications of not only the food choices and preferences of the individual but also of the ability to digest what is eaten.

How does gem therapy help?

Gem therapy in such cases is administered based on the premise of making a sluggish body system faster. Gemstones that are suitable and can rev up the metabolism can help greatly. One's birth chart should carefully assessed before suggesting gemstone remedial measures. The gemstones that can be really beneficial in case of diabetes are natural ruby and natural organic red coral.

With the inherent intensity and fire, these gemstones not only enable greater physical activity but also foster more stamina and self control (especially when it is about controlling portions of carbohydrates and sweet treats). Natural red garnet is the upratna for ruby the gemstone of Sun. Natural red coral is the gemstone of planet Mars which rules over blood in the human body.

It is essential that only pure, natural flawless jyotish gemstones are used in order to get benefit from gem therapy. One must insist on certification of gem from an accredited gem lab to verify authenticity of the gemstone while purchasing it.
