Gemini is the first air sign of the zodiac. Meaning that it is mentally inspired.
Gemini's have the challenge of juggling lots of balls in the air all at once, and trying to catch them before they fall. They are the great adaptors of life, finding themselves in plenty of situations to practice this. They are here to learn open-mindedness, focus and that curiosity does not actually kill the cat.
When a Gemini lives their highest self, they are the researcher, the storyteller, the witty one, the communicator, the teacher or writer.
When a Gemini lives their lowest self, they are the gossiper, the superficial one, the trickster, the deceiver, the impatient one or the con artist.
Gemini's are sometimes described as perpetual teenagers, typically looking younger than they actually are. And to that end, making choices to do so.
Because they are constantly on the go, be it physically, emotionally and for sure mentally, whatever they can do to rejuvenate their nervous system is the appropriate "medicine."
The areas of the body most associated with Gemini are the lungs, shoulders, hands, ears, arms, eyes, muscles and bones.
Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury. It rules the digestive system, mouth, tongue, hands, central nervous system, thyroid gland, lungs, brain and speech.
Because Gemini's sentence is "I think", any healing medicine plan should include the regeneration of the brain and central nervous system.
Gemini complaints are conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, nervous system disorders, pleurisy, asthma and other breathing disorders. There may be problems associated with sensitivity to smells, to the simple act of breathing or to speech or voice strains.
A weakened Gemini will attract the common cold, flu symptoms or be prone to chronic cough, congestion or bronchial conditions. It can be challenging for a weakened Gemini to take in enough oxygen and absorb it. Because of this, it is never good for a Gemini to be in the company of smokers or live in an air polluted environment.
Off the top of my head, Kava Kava root comes to mind for Gemini Medicine. The Herbalist says this herb is about "happy unconcern" but I have found it to be a powerful herb for nervous system relaxation. Valerian Root, Hops, Skullcap and Passion Flower are all herbs that may calm a high strung nervous system, relieve tension, relax muscles, and decrease anxiety and help sleep disorders. Gota Kola is another powerful herb for Gemini Medicine, as it may increase mental stamina, promote longevity and improve memory. Vitamin B-Complex should be considered as well, as it promotes wellness of the nervous system and helps decrease overall stress.
Gemini cures are life experiences without boredom. A life with few pauses, a life of gathering information in order to understand the Universe. A life of being outdoors breathing fresh air. Toning the organs of speech and breathing are worth recognizing as well as paying close attention to stress management.
A healthy Gemini is able to network well with others, have many varied and unusual experiences and speak about it freely. Laying on the couch for long periods of time is never good for the healthy Gemini, but a little bit of this in order to calm down a high energy nervous system can be needed in order to revitilize them.
