The rising trend of medical numerology
Medical numerology is the practice of using numbers with health insights. The numbers are derived from a person’s birth date and name to suggest its possible effects on physical and emotional well-being. It tells us about ourselves, our possible health issues, what we should avoid (health-related), our strengths and weaknesses and what we can become.
Origin of medical numerology: Medical numerology, also known as Vedic numerology, is a part of astrology that discusses the possible influence of the heavenly bodies on one’s everyday activities and overall life, including one’s health.
In ancient Chinese medicine, numerology was used to understand an individual’s health and well-being. Numerology is associated with five elements: wood, fire, metal, earth and water. This integration of numerology into health practices laid the groundwork for what is now called medical numerology.

• Medical numerology is a holistic approach toward health, life, career and overall lifestyle.
