Whether we like it or not, we have to admit that the location of the planets influences our life, health, and destiny. It also influences the healing power of plants.
This is the reason why some plants are picked out during the full moon, others at sunrise, or, conversely, when the sun is up in the sky.
Therefore, plants and planets compete in helping us better. That is why, depending on the zodiac sign, a certain medicinal plant has a maximum effect on each of us.
