Moon controls the thought process and hence a controls the activity of the Mind.  If the flow of thought process does not come under a certain level then the mind will not be able to rest and sleep.  The pulse and heartbeat will keep on working as though the person is fully active.  It has been a mystery to science and psychologists around the world to understand and solve this problem.

All streams of medical systems have agreed that counseling and psychotherapy is the best method to reduce the activity of mind and bring it to peace.
