Ancient Astrology and Herbal Medicine: A Lost Connection

Long before science divided the worlds of medicine and the stars, they were one.In ancient times, astrology and herbal healing were deeply intertwined — a sacred art practiced by healers, midwives, and sages who understood that the body, the plants, and the heavens spoke the same language.

At Nurture Aset, we honor this ancient wisdom — blending plant medicine and cosmic rhythms to restore balance, beauty, and power.

In Egypt, Babylon, and across Africa and the Caribbean, healers believed that each planet governed certain plants, parts of the body, and emotional states.They didn’t just pick herbs at random.They used the movement of the stars to know when to harvest, what to prescribe, and how to create powerful remedies.

For example:

• The Moon ruled over herbs that supported the womb, fluids, and emotions — like mugwort, aloe vera, and chamomile.

• The Sun governed herbs that energized and strengthened — like rosemary, St. John’s wort, and calendula.

• Mars influenced herbs for blood and strength — like nettle, cayenne, and ginger.

Each herb was seen as carrying a planetary signature — a spiritual blueprint that matched human needs.

Astrologer-healers would create herbal formulas based on the person's birth chart.If your chart showed a weak Mars (energy, blood, courage), they might strengthen you with iron-rich or warming herbs.If your Moon was afflicted (emotions, water balance), soothing, nourishing herbs were used to restore harmony.

Modern herbalism often forgets this powerful connection.But when you remember that plants are not just chemistry — they are cosmic — your healing rituals become deeper, richer, and more aligned with universal forces.

The return to blending astrology with herbalism isn't just a trend.It’s a remembrance of an ancient truth: You are nature. You are the cosmos. You are whole.

At Nurture Aset, we craft herbal products that honor not just the body, but the spirit — restoring the sacred bond between plants, stars, and self.
