The adage
‘health is wealth’ holds a lot of meaning in Vastu Shastra. Vastu has laid down
some important guidelines that can be followed for good health and to remain in
the best of spirits. In the event a family member is suffering from prolonged
illness that has not been diagnosed properly, it may be due to a vastu defect
with the setting or placement of objects in the house. Following certain simple
Vastu guidelines can help you prevent illness and diseases and promote good
health. Apply these minor Vastu corrections to combat aliments and help aid a
quick recovery.
General
health can be improved by sleeping with the head towards the south – i.e. when
you arise, you would face the north.
A
staircase in the exact centre of the house would lead to health problems. So,
take care to get the stairs built-in a corner.
Heavy
furniture should not be kept in the middle of the house, as it is the centre
and therefore, needs to be kept as empty as possible.
Ensure
that there are no overhead beams running through the centre of the house or it
would lead to a disturbed mind.
It is
important to keep the central area clear of any heavy concrete structures. The
center should be kept open and free from heavy objects, pillars and beams.
Install a Vastu Pyramid in the center to keep the whole house balanced and
energized.
One of
the main causes behind sickness is an imbalance of the fire element in the
house. If your house faces south, with a slope towards that direction, and/or
the underground water tank is in south-east, the possibility of health problems
will continue to exist. To cure the situation, make sure that the gate along
the south wall always remains shut. Secondly, the gate should be high and made
of wood, so that the road outside is not visible.
Lighting
a candle in the fire zone (south-east direction) daily is important for good
health.
Vastu
links the health and illness with the placement of kitchen in the house. If the
kitchen is not located in the fire zone, the occupants will be vulnerable to
health disorders. So, always plan the kitchen in the southeast direction.
The
boundary wall of the house should be of same height as the gate. Growing citrus
plants on either sides of the gate promotes good health.
Keep the
heavy weight generator, if any, in the north-west or south-east direction and
the water tank in the north or north-east.
If
someone in your house is keeping unwell, keep a burning candle in his/her room,
for a couple of weeks.
