In addition to maintaining good physical and mental health, it is imperative to assess the health conditions that would occur in the future, so that they can be dealt with accordingly.

That is when Vedic Astrology plays its part. Also known as medical astrology in this case, it deals with the health concerns that are associated with each planet and each sign.
