THE AETOS DIOS was a giant, golden eagle which served as Zeus' personal messenger and animal companion. According to some, the eagle was once a mortal king named Periphas, whose virtuous rule was so celebrated that he was came to be honoured like a god. Zeus, in anger, would have smote him with a thunderbolt, but Apollon intervened and, transforming the king into an eagle, set him beside the throne of Zeus. In other accounts, Zeus adopted the eagle as his bird when it first appeared to him before the Titan War as a sign of good omen. The eagle was later sent by Zeus to carry the handsome youth Ganymedes up to heaven to become the cupbearer of the gods.

The bird received a place amongst the stars as the constellation Aquila. Its consort was Lyra, the heavenly vulture.

For thousands of years, a twelve-year cycle named after various real or mythological animals has been used in Southeast Asia. This twelve-year cycle which may be referred to as the "Chinese zodiac" associates each year in turn with a certain creature, in a fixed order of twelve animals, after which it returns to the first in the order, the Rat. The eleventh in the cycle is the Dog. One account is that the order of the beings-of-the-year is due to their order in a racing contest involving swimming across a river, in the so-called Great Race.  

The reason for the dog finishing the race second from last despite generally being a talented swimmer is explained as being due to its playful nature: the dog played and frolicked along the way, thus delaying completing the course and reaching the finishing line. As of 2012, the next Year of the Dog in the traditional Chinese sexagenary calendar is February 19, 2018 to February 4, 2019 (Year of the Yang Earth Dog).

The personalities of people born in dog years are popularly supposed to share certain attributes associated with dogs, such as loyalty or exuberance; however, this would be modified according to other considerations of Chinese astrology, such as the influences of the month, day and hour of birth, according to the traditional system of Earthly Branches, in which the zodiacal animals are also associated with the months and times of the day (and night), in twelve two-hour increments. The Hour of the Dog is 7 to 9 p.m., and the dog is associated with the ninth lunar month.

It came to me that every time I love a dog

they take a piece of my heart with them.

And every time a new dog comes into my life

they gift me a piece of their heart.

If I live long enough all the components of my heart

will be dog,

and I will become

as generous and loving as they are.

Medicinal Uses for Bay Leaf

In Ancient times, bay leaves (Laurus nobilis), also known as laurels, came to symbolize wisdom to the Greeks and Romans, who crowned kings, poets and athletes with intricate wreaths of its glossy, feathery leaves. High achievements today are still associated with laurels. For example, a poet laureate is an accomplished poet, and graduates from college are awarded baccalaureates (baca lauri, Latin for "laurel berry").

Reportedly, both the leaves and the fruit of Laurus nobilis are often used for matters of women's health. These include increasing fertility, inducing menstruation, contraception and speeding up childbirth. Improving digestion and relieving gastrointestinal discomfort are also common reported uses, which may be due to components with diuretic, antispasmodic, antibacterial and purgative properties. Cultures throughout the world have traditionally used bay leaves to treat various conditions. However, while some initial research has indicated possible benefits, further clinical evidence supporting the use of bay leaf for any human indication is needed.

Ayurveda: In Ayurvedic medicine, Laurus nobilis has been used as a component of remedies for paralysis, gas, abdominal cramping and antidotes to poison.

Central Asian medicine: In Afghanistan, bay leaf may be mixed with anise and Casuarina equisetifolia, then inserted into the vagina to facilitate pregnancy. In Iran, the dried fruit may be decocted and taken orally to improve appetite and digestion. Also, an infusion of the dried leaf taken orally is considered to ease many ailments, including gas, cramps, amenorrhea and inflamed mucous membranes. This infusion may have diaphoretic, diuretic, and emetic activity.

Indian medicine: In Indian medicine, the leaf and fruit are believed to facilitate menstruation when taken orally. The fruit may also treat diarrhea and conditions of abnormal vaginal discharge. The oil is included in topical treatments for dandruff and rheumatism. The leaves may be used to prevent or treat infections, as a digestive aid, to induce sweating, as a sedative and as a gargle to soothe a sore throat.

Mediterranean medicine: In Greece, a hot water extract of the leaf may serve as an oral contraceptive. In Israel, the essential oil of the bay fruit may be used topically for wounds and for pain due to rheumatism or neuralgia. Also, a steam bath using dried bay leaves and other plants may be used to treat colds or to maintain overall good health. In Morocco, bay leaves are chewed to clean the teeth and may also be taken internally in cases of liver ailments. In Tunisia, dried bay leaves are taken orally for their potential sleep-inducing effect and are also used topically to ease symptoms of rheumatism.

Middle Eastern medicine: Jordanians may drink a decoction of bay leaves to stimulate appetite and treat diarrhea. In Israel, a hot water extract of dried bay leaves may serve as a component of an intravenous treatment for respiratory ailments. In general, the essential oil may be used in aromatherapy or topically for bruises, sprains or rheumatism.

European medicine: The leaves may have been burned to fend off plagues. For sprains, a poultice of the leaves steeped in oil may have been considered to relieve pain. The fruit is purportedly taken orally to speed childbirth. In England, a hot water extract of the fruit has been reportedly used to stimulate menstruation. In Italy, there are many reported uses for bay leaves and fruits. An infusion of the leaf may be drunk to improve digestion or sleep. Drinking an ethanol and water extract is believed to treat an upset stomach. The fruit might be used as a laxative. The essential oil may be used topically to soothe bruising and hemorrhoids. A blend of olive oil and dried bay fruit soaked in alcohol might be applied to painful joints. A decoction of the dried leaves may be a topical treatment for inflammation. A poultice of bay leaves might be applied to insect bites. A leaf infusion may also act as an antispasmodic, sedative and digestive.

American/American Indian medicine: In the United States, drinking a decoction of dried bay leaves has been considered useful as an astringent, as a treatment for gas, and as a digestive aid.

Latin/South American (Amazonian) medicine: In Argentina, dried bay leaves are prepared in a decoction for oral use to treat infections of the respiratory and urinary tracts. Reportedly, the fruit is eaten to hasten childbirth. To promote menstruation, 3-4 drops of leaf juice are put in water, which is then taken by mouth. In Peru, dried bay fruits or leaves are prepared in hot water and the extract is then taken by mouth to promote circulation or applied topically to help treat growths and sores.
