Taurus rules the throat - the neck, ears, lower jaw, the thyroid gland, pharynx, larynx, jugular vein, tonsils, Eustachian tubes, cervical ganglia and carotid arteries, the occipital, cervical vertebrae, lower jaw and teeth, chin and palate. Taurus is vulnerable to stroke, croup, tonsillitis, lymphatic stasis of the neck and head and laryngitis, stiff neck, sore throats and earaches.

Activities - gardening, embroidering, reading, golf, walking and hiking, cricket, yoga, and judo. You also enjoy watching television, quietly ensconced in a style armchair listening to music

Eat - It is very important to maintain a diet low in starch, fat, and sugar, because so many Taurean's have to fight the battle of the bulge. Sodium sulphate is present in the liver, pancreas, and the hormones of the kidneys. An imbalance of this mineral in the body can cause bloating, symptoms of congestion around the thyroid gland, and a feeling of being waterlogged. Some foods that contain this mineral are asparagus, beets, cauliflower, horse radish, spinach, cucumber, onions, pumpkin, raw nuts and cranberries. You should also drink plenty of water to help keep your system flushed out. To keep the thyroid functioning at its best, Taureans should eat food with natural iodine, such as fish and seafood. Other foods that will help keep you healthy are eggs, liver, kidney beans, wheat germ, fresh fruit and green salads.

Don't Eat - Carbohydrates have a way of turning into fat in a Taurean's body, and should be avoided. Heavy, rich foods should also be avoided.
