The beginning of October is associated with the energies of Libra according to the Western Zodiac. This sign is said to rule both the lower back and the kidneys. If you are suffering from any sort of kidney ailment (and only after consulting with a qualified physician), you should you consider using the energy around you to heal from the outside in.
First, be sure that your home is not water deficient in any way, as that represents or translates to kidney deficiencies as well. Fix all leaky faucets and toilets in the home and workspace (this will save water as well!). Eat black beans, soy, kidney beans (duh!), blueberries and blackberries while avoiding excessively spicy foods.
Finally, put a white vase filled with blue flowers directly inside the front door of your home to stimulate a healthy flow of energy and bringing balance to the body. All of these efforts can help flush any anxiety caused by kidney ailments away and restore vital Chi to those important organs.
