Lunar Calendar for Dental Treatment and Surgery Planning

Hippocrates  (who lived in 460 BC), known as the founder of all modern medicine, said: “Anyone who practices medicine without taking into account the movement of the stars and planets is a fool.”

And today, truly outstanding modern doctors also follow the commandment of Hippocrates. For example, it is no secret that the lunar calendar has long been widely used when planning surgical operations.

Even in the time of Hippocrates, astrology determined which zodiac sign is responsible for specific organs in the human body.

The Moon in Aries is responsible for the head area; surgery on the head, dental treatment, and dental prosthetics are not recommended.

The Moon in Taurus is responsible for the neck area; no surgical interventions connected with the neck area are recommended.

The Moon in Gemini is responsible for the bronchi and arms; accordingly, no surgical operations or dental treatment are recommended.

The Moon in Cancer is responsible for the stomach; surgical interventions connected with the stomach are contraindicated.

Useful Tips for Planning Surgery and Dental Treatment

• It is best to try to plan surgeries and visits to the dentist when the Moon is transiting fixed signs: Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio. This is because the surgeon’s or dentist’s hands should be steady, and no further complications should arise.
• Pay attention to the Moon phase when planning surgery and dental treatment. For example, the most unfavorable time for this is the Full Moon. During the Full Moon, fluids accumulate in the body and blood pressure rises, so surgery carries a greater chance of swelling, hemorrhage, and other unfavorable consequences. It is best to avoid surgery 5 days before or after the Full Moon.
• The New Moon is the best time to have surgery or dental treatment. The body’s fluid level is at its lowest, and accordingly there is less chance of swelling or complications.  However, it is also best to avoid the waxing Moon, which begins just a few days after the New Moon. During this time, strength accumulates, and the body has a harder time tolerating any surgical intervention.
• The waning Moon phase is considered the most favorable for surgical interventions, including dental treatment and prosthetics, braces installation, and so on. During the waning Moon phase, the body easily spends accumulated energy and tolerates medical interventions more favorably.  ✓
