The Wounded Healer

The symbol for Chiron looks like a letter K balanced on a circle or oval. It resembles an old-fashioned key. 

Chiron is small, distant, and impossible to see without a telescope. It s prominent in your chart if 

1 v It occupies an angle (and especially if it conjuncts or opposes your Ascendant or Midheaven). 

To discover Chiron s position in your chart, turn to the Appendix, or go to the Web. 

Chiron spends, on average, a little over four years in each sign. Thus it indicates an area of concern both for you and for members of your immediate generation.

Extensive profiling needs to be done for M. pudica which will elucidate the compounds showing particular activities like anti-diabetic activity. Various literatures clearly support anti-diabetic and diabetes related complications along with various others stated above. The use of major bioactives from M. pudica on the lowering of diabetic markers was found to be exploitable based on the literatures reviewed below in course of this discussion. The plant was found to be able to work as anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic, wound healer, anti-oxidant and free radical scavenger among other uses of this plant (see Table 3). 

Folk healers prescribe kava everywhere the drink is consumed. Island pharmacists gather various parts of the plant, including the root, leaves, bark, stems, and their juices. Treatments include infusions and also poultices of leaf, stem, or root applied to the body. Observers have recorded uses of kava to treat a range of conditions. These include urogenital and menstrual problems, headaches and migraines, asthma and other respiratory problems, toothache, boils, sores and wounds, conjunctivitis, both diarrhea and constipation, earache, sore throat, sleeping difficulties, leprosy and other skin diseases, and more (Lebot etal., 1992 Kilham, 1996). Kava, occasionally, served also as an abortifacient (Riesenberg, 1968).
