The influence of the moon

The moon has an effect on our mood; scientific studies have proven the influence it exerts on our psyche. It has also been proven that patients in hospitals are much edgier and more upset during full moon periods. Of course, popular expressions such as “lunatic” or "ill-mooned" hide deeply-held traditional beliefs.

Medical research has also shown that the birth rate is higher during full moon periods, and these statistics are reflected throughout the world.

Hairdressers also know the influence the moon can have on our body, because some salons are keen to stay open very late on Full Moon nights.

The moon also exerts its influence on nature. Any gardener will tell you: the moon affects plants and vegetation. The moon also controls the tides, its power along displacing millions of tonnes of water!
