 Liver, sacrum, thigh bone, tail bone, hip muscles, hip joint, lumbar vertebra, lumbar muscle.

Health Habits : Physical activity is a must; they will stagnate and become ill if they don't get enough exercise. Although usually lean and slender in their early years, they have a tendency to put on weight as they get older. In Sagittarian women the weight unfortunately seems to settle on the hips and thighs.

They often have chronic aches in the hips and thighs and may be vulnerable to sciatica, gout, hip disease, and sometimes lameness.

Sagittarius's ruling planet Jupiter governs the liver. Jupiter's influence has also been noted on the pituitary gland. Sagittarians tend to have an active, sensitive liver that instantly suffers from overuse of alcohol. They are also susceptible to hepatitis

Sagittarius's cell salt is silica, which strengthens the nervous system, keeps the connective brain tissue healthy, and prevents numbness in fingers, legs and feet.

Eat : Lack of silica may result in lank hair, dull skin, and sores and receding of the gums. Best sources for the silica that Sagittarians need are the skin of fruits and vegetables, raw salads, green peppers, figs, strawberries, pears, apples, potatoes, oats, the husks of grains, whole-grain cereals, egg yolk.Sagittarians should eat a high protein diet, with lots of broiled poultry and fish, fresh vegetables and fruit such as beets, tomatoes, plums, cherries, oranges, and lemons , eggs, skim milk, yogurt, brown rice, and whole wheat. They should drink lots of pure water, eat four mini-meals a day rather than three large ones.

Don't Eat : Foods that particularly do not agree with Sagittarius are fats, gravies, cream, butter, candy, and chocolate. They should go very easy on alcoholic beverages, not only to avoid damage to the liver but to the skin, which coarsens and ages under the effects of liquor.

SAGITTARIUS IS A FIRE SIGN

Fire rules the function of internal combustion or digestion−the burning up or absorption of food. Fire also purifies the system by burning off toxins, viruses, bacteria and fungus. Fire signs easily fight disease. Their constitution naturally tends toward high temperatures.

Excess Fire

Fire signs, when unbalanced to excess or overstimulation, are prone to burning themselves out. Excess fire can be impatient and angry, or internalizes it into hypertension, heart problems, ulcers or inflammations. Excess fire is brought back into balance by foods that are cold, moist and heavy, or slow-burning foods that ground energy.

Take

Grains, root vegetables

Avoid

Spicy food, red meat

Remedy

herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, skull cap and valerian.

Low Fire

When your fire is low, it may be hard to burn off or fight disease. Digestion and absorption of food are inadequate. Eat foods that are hot, light, dry and aromatic. Avoid cold foods.

Take

lemon, yoghurt, bitter greens like kale, mustard.

Avoid

dairy products, meat

Remedy

digestive stimulants like cayenne, mustard, cloves, cinnamon,garlic, ginger.

YOGA

Locust Pose

Don’t underestimate the power of the locust. At first glance some assume this pose is not a big deal and if you’re not being intentional it’s possible it won’t be. The way to make this pose really powerful is to press the tops of your feet into your mat as hard as you can — this will probably lift your knees off the floor. Reach your arms toward the wall behind you. As you do, try to bring your shoulder blades closer together while keeping your fingers higher than your hips. Visualize space in your collar bone and bring your shoulders out of your ears.

The locust pose, also known as Salabhasana, is a full-body yoga movement that can help energize, de-stress, and relax the mind. The pose is named for the resemblance of the body to a locust while in the position. Here are some tips for performing the locust pose:

Start on your belly With your feet together and palms down, extend your big toes back and press down with your toenails to activate your quadriceps.

Lengthen your spine Inhale and stretch your hands forward and your legs out, as if someone is pulling them in opposite directions.

Engage your core Rotate your inner thighs toward the ceiling to broaden your lower back, and roll your shoulders back and up. Keep your back of neck long and emphasize lifting your sternum instead of your chin.

Lift your legs Keeping your hips down, lift one leg at a time, pointing your toes internally and rotating your thigh. You can try locking your knee and lifting your leg as high as you can without discomfort.

Lift both legs Once you're comfortable with lifting one leg at a time, lift both legs and press your toes back.

Focus on length Don't worry about how high you lift, as this can strain your back or neck. Instead, try to extend forward through your torso and back through your legs.

Release slowly After several breaths, slowly release back to your mat and rest.
