The sign of Scorpio is said to rule the regenerative area of the body: the sex organs. It is also acknowledged that Scorpio people need both a healthy sex life - but also a well-balanced emotional one. They 'feel' life deeply and are acutely aware of unhappiness and pain. As for all signs, ill-health can br brought on by emotional difficulties. Prone to infection when distressed it can take them longer than others to recover from bouts of ill-health. That said, as they age (and so gain great exeprience of life), they are less prone to 'off ' days and indeed, are often to be found working despite ailment.

Scorpio's cell salt is calcium sulphate, which assists in the repair of tissues and resistance to infectious diseases. The nose, mouth, throat, esophagus, reproductive organs, and intestinal pathways need this mineral for healthy functioning. A deficiency opens the way to colds and sinus infections that hang on forever, skin eruptions which do not heal, and infertility.

Foods rich in calcium sulphate include:

• asparagus, kale, cauliflower, radishes, onions, parsnips, watercress, tomatoes, coconuts, green salads, beets, escarole, romaine, brussel sprouts, artichokes
• milk, cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese.
• whole-grain breads, wheat-germ and lentils
• almonds and walnuts
• apples, bananas, berries, black cherries, citrus fruit, figs, prunes, and pineapples.
