Mars (Mangal) is the fiery planet of energy, aggression, blood circulation, and physical strength. It rules the muscles, bone marrow, and digestive fire (Agni). When Mars is strong, it gives courage, athletic ability, and drive. But when Mars is afflicted—especially when placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses or in conjunction with malefics—it can manifest as intense, inflammatory, and often painful health issues.

Here are the key diseases and disorders associated with Mars:

1. Blood Disorders and Blood Pressure Issues

Mars is the significator of blood in the human body. When it is weak, afflicted, or overly aggressive in the chart, it may cause:

  • High blood pressure (hypertension) due to excessive heat and aggression

  • Low blood pressure, especially if Mars is debilitated or aspected by Saturn

  • Anemia, if Mars lacks vitality and strength

  • Bleeding disorders or clotting issues

Mars governs the vitality carried through blood; any imbalance can disturb physical strength and cause inflammation-related conditions.

2. Heart Disorders

Though the Sun represents the heart at the soul level, Mars affects the physical condition of the heart by controlling blood flow and vascular pressure. Malefic Mars may lead to:

  • Heart palpitations

  • Cardiac inflammation

  • Heart attacks or strokes, especially if Mars is conjoined with Rahu or afflicted in Leo (sign of the heart)

Emotional anger and unexpressed frustration—qualities linked to Mars—can contribute to heart strain over time.

3. Stomach Disorders: Ulcers and Diarrhea

Mars rules digestive fire (Jatharagni). When imbalanced, this fire turns destructive rather than productive. This results in:

  • Stomach ulcers due to excess heat or acidity

  • Diarrhea, especially if Mars is placed in watery signs like Cancer

  • Digestive inflammation or irritable bowel conditions

The stomach reflects how we "digest" emotions like anger and stress, both ruled by Mars.

4. Piles (Hemorrhoids)

Piles or bleeding from the rectal area is a common Mars-related issue. Since Mars rules blood and fire, an afflicted Mars—especially in the 6th house—can cause:

  • Inflamed hemorrhoids

  • Rectal bleeding

  • Painful bowel movements due to internal heat

Mars’s intensity must be grounded; otherwise, it manifests in such aggressive and painful disorders.

5. Headaches and Migraine

Mars governs the head region, particularly the forehead and scalp. When negatively placed, it may result in:

  • Sharp headaches

  • Burning sensations in the head

  • Migraines, especially those triggered by heat or anger

If Mars aspects the Moon or is in fiery signs like Aries or Leo, such headaches may become frequent.

Final Thoughts

Mars is the planet of raw physical power, but when misdirected, that power turns into internal aggression—causing inflammation, bleeding, and painful disorders. Mars-related diseases are often marked by heat, pressure, and intensity. Managing Mars energy through discipline, conscious action, and anger control is key to physical well-being.

Remedies to balance Mars include:

  • Reciting Hanuman Chalisa

  • Fasting on Tuesdays

  • Donating red lentils or red clothes

  • Practicing martial arts or physical exercise to burn off excess energy
