The site's English label is Health, a short name for a harder phrase: 疾厄 means illness and adversity. It is the sixth palace, five steps backward from 命宮, opposite 父母, and in a triangle with 兄弟 and 田宅. The 身宮 can never reach it. The position is arithmetic, and its presence on a chart means only that the count reached this place, as it does on every chart.

The book's section is one of three that begin with an instruction, and the instruction joins two places: look first at the Life palace and the harsh stars around it, then at the stars here. Modern popular writing treats the palace as a section about the body and constitution, a gloss that the book itself never states as a definition. On this site the calculator shows which stars fall here and gives no reading of anyone's body or well-being.

The list that follows moves star by star through parts of the body and complaints, in the vocabulary of its own medicine, and it has no connection with diagnosis as anyone now practices it. Mild phrases recur: 灾少, few troubles, appears for 紫微 and 天府, and the entry for 天府 adds that trouble met with finds rescue. This page reports the topic and leaves the catalog of complaints in the source. For any question about health, a doctor is the right person to ask.
