Vastu Healthy Home Tips

• If the shape of the plot is not proper (please see the plot section for details), it may cause health problems.

• A kitchen in the North or North-east may cause ill health. It has been observed that if the kitchen is placed on the North side, household members are unable to save money and are often ill. A kitchen on the north-east side fills the house with quarrels and creates differences among family members.

• A worship room in the south-west or west direction will cause ill health for family members. There is no substitute for having the worship room on the north-east side, though the north side is also acceptable. Every other side or corner of the house will have some negative effect. The south, south-east, or north-west corners are very poor places for a worship room.

• A staircase in the South-East or North-West may cause poor health in children.

• Extending the house or plot toward the South-West may result in a loss of health.

A healthy home should follow these rules

• The kitchen should be in the south-east direction, with the person cooking facing east.

• The worship room should be in the north-east corner, with prayers offered facing east or north.

• The toilet should be in the north-west direction.

• The staircase should be in the south-west corner of the house, and the septic tank should also be in the same corner.

• Garbage should be stored near the west wall, and the store room should also be in the same place.

• The plot and the house should be square or rectangular.

The Brahmasthan is a distinctive feature of ancient architecture based on Vastu Shastra. It is the central, most auspicious, and influential area of a house. All sides of the house connect to its centre, which radiates positive energy in every direction. This positive energy is very important for the family members of the house.

If we wish to be healthy and live with happiness and harmony, we must keep the Brahmasthan free from obstacles. Building in the middle of the house obstructs the main energy that keeps family members lively. In ancient times, people built a courtyard in the middle of the house, open to the sky, with rooms surrounding it.

To maintain good health and recover from illness, you should recite the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra one hundred and eight times every day. General physical condition may be improved by sleeping with the head toward the South. "Vatha" and "Khapa" natives are advised to sleep on their left side, while "Pitha" natives are advised to sleep on their right side. Some people claim that Vastu does not work — this is completely wrong. Vastu works properly only when you consult a well-known Vastu expert.
