The full moon is nearly upon us (Picture: Getty)

For people who love the moon, star-gazing and other astronomical occurrences,
it’s nearly time for the tenth full moon of 2021.

The October full moon, known as the Hunter’s Moon, is so named as it came to
signify the ideal time for hunting game as people planned for the cold months
ahead.

When is the Hunter’s moon?




WHEN IS THE OCTOBER FULL MOON?

The upcoming October full moon – the Hunter’s Moon – will fall on Wednesday,
October 20.

In the UK, it’s expected to be most visible at around 3:56pm (because seeing the
moon during the day actually isn’t that uncommon, despite seeming odd).

hits its peak (Picture: Getty)


WHEN IS THE NEXT FULL MOON?



The next full moon will be the Beaver Moon on November 19.

It gets its name as beavers typically start building dams for the winter months
in November.

The November full moon is sometimes known as the Frost Moon as winter frosts
historically began to take their toll during this time.

This year, the Beaver Moon will coincide with a partial lunar eclipse, otherwise
known as a Half Blood Moon.




HOW THE FULL MOON MIGHT AFFECT YOUR BODY

For generations, many have suggested that the moon has power over us mere
mortals – after all, if the lunar cycle can affect the tides, why not us?

The Organic Pharmacy has looked at what the October full moon might mean for us,
from our sleep patterns to headaches.

Five possible effects of the Hunter’s Moon include:

 * Disturbed sleep
 * Issues with your immune system
 * ‘Moon migraines’
 * Increased appetite
 * Kidney pains

Some of these are connected. For example, any issues with your immune system are
thought to be connected to a lack of sleep.

According to a study published in the medical journal, Current Biology, there
has been a link found between sleep and the full moon. Participants of the study
found it harder to fall asleep, spent less time in a deep sleep, and slept for
around 20 minutes less during the period of a full moon.

A lack of sleep affects the hormone melatonin, which regulates your immune
system as well as being known as the sleep hormone. Therefore, sleeping less
during the full moon could lead to a reduced immune response, causing flu-like
symptoms, issues with allergies and other ailments.

A lack of sleep could also be responsible for the so-called moon migraines, a
strange occurrence where some people claim to suffer worse headaches during full
moons. The effect on your body’s hormones could lead you to feel hungrier, too.

sleep this full moon (Picture: Getty)

The stranger side effect is to do with your kidneys. According to a study
published in the Urology Journal, scientists found a correlation between kidney
stone pain and a full moon, suggesting that the lunar cycle could have a deeper
impact on your body.



Although the cause of this link is unknown, some scientists suggest that this
correlation could be due to fluid balances.

Moreover, other studies have found little correlation between the kidney stone
pain and a full or supermoon.

Speaking about the possible connection, Margo Marrone, co-founder of The Organic
Pharmacy said: ‘While scientists are still trying to get to the bottom of how
the lunar cycle impacts human health and behaviour, there’s significant evidence
to suggest that the symptoms many people have been experiencing during a
full moon are actually down to a lack of sleep.’

‘Getting a better night’s rest during these periods could help to alleviate
symptoms such as headaches, increased appetite, and symptoms associated with a
low immune system.’

‘If you’re struggling to drift off during a full moon, consider taking natural
health supplements containing stress-relieving ingredients, like valerian, that
are designed to aid sleep.’
