Mercury Remedies: Budha Graha Dosha Astrological Remedies… In Vedic astrology, Mercury (Budha) governs intellect (Buddhi), speech, communication, analytical ability, commerce, and trade. A strong Mercury bestows sharp wit, business acumen, and eloquence, while an afflicted or weak Mercury can cause speech impediments, poor decision-making, anxiety, nervous disorders, or skin issues.
