Vastu shastra offers solutions to keep family members safe and healthy. These things may help you remain safe of the seasonal sickness, infections and give you mental peace. Expert SK Mehta offers simple tips to keep illnesses at bay.
- Never keep medicines on the side table in the bedroom. If keeping any kind of medicine near the bed is important at night, remove it in the morning. The medicines should always be kept in the Northern direction.
- Do not keep a refrigerator, invertor, gas cylinder or a dustbin in your bedroom.
- Keep the washroom and bathroom doors closed. Washrooms in the South and West directions should always have a door step.
- Do not keep thorny plants or plants secreting fluids which may be poisonous. These plants may pose risk to your health.
- Never keep any medicine in the kitchen. This may lead to negative health effects.
- Ensure you sleep facing the South. This will keep your digestive system intact, eradicate headache issues and prevent infectious illness.
- Pregnant ladies should sleep in the South West region of the house. This would keep the mother and child healthy. If no such room is available in the South West direction, the bed should be placed in this direction of the bedroom.
- Open the windows and doors of the North and East directions in the morning. The morning sunshine would bring in loads of positivity and kill the germs entering the house.
- Try not to open the West and South direction windows and doors, especially the ones in the South West direction. This will prevent unwanted expenses and keep you healthy.
- Always have proper cleaning and ventilation in your place. The curtains, furniture and walls should be light coloured.
