Offerings on a Shivling and the 9th House
The 9th house is dharma, the temple, and the act of worship. Bel patra, water, and milk are the ordinary offerings set on a Shivling. They belong to that 9th-house act, not to a medical promise for the family.
What is actually offered
A Shivling receives water, milk, and the bilva leaf, bel patra, in ordinary worship. Monday is the Moon's day and is widely used for Shiva. The Moon is the mind and the mother, which is as close as this page will come to family, and even that is a signification, not a diagnosis. Dhatura appears in some Shiva rites and is a poisonous plant. This page does not teach its use. Keep to water, milk, and bel. The rite is devotion. The 4th house is the home and the mother in the kundli, and an offering does not move the 4th lord.
Health is the wrong noun
Lagna and the Sun describe vitality in a chart. The 6th house describes conflict, debt, and the strain of illness as a house topic, without naming a disease. None of these houses changes because milk was poured. If someone in the family is ill, the person to ask is a physician. The chart can say whether the 6th lord's dasha is running, which times strain, and it must not say what the body has. A family is several lagnas. One worshipper's 9th house is not the patient's 6th.
When the offering matches a period
Monday worship of Shiva has a lunar flavor and suits a Moon mahadasha of 10 years, or a period when the Moon is the lagna lord, which it is for Cancer lagna. It is a poor match for a problem that is clearly Saturn's 19-year mahadasha, where Saturday is the vara. Match the weekday to the graha that is awake. The bel leaf will not shorten Sade Sati, which ends when Saturn leaves the 2nd from the natal Moon. Offer it as worship of the 9th house, and leave the clinic to the clinic.
