Why Is Vastu Important?

Vastu Shastra isn’t important or absolutely necessary for living but it does give you a healthier, more abundant life. You need to remember that it is not a superstition or a pseudoscience that propagates myths. It is proven science that promotes the natural forces to work in our favour and make our gains bigger while minimising losses. Let’s take a small example: Vastu prefers houses that face North because the effects of harmful UV rays are then reduced greatly. Similarly, it also prefers houses that face the East because the rays of the rising sun bring life and happiness to all the family members.

Vastu Tips For Kitchen

As per Vastu, the health and prosperity of the occupants of the house depend highly on the kitchen arrangement. You’ll be more prosperous, healthy and efficient if your kitchen is well-placed since it is the hub of the home. Here are some Vastu tips for kitchen.

1. Kitchen in the North-East brings sickness, in the South-West brings health issues to the female members of the family and in the South-East brings unhappiness. If the kitchen is in the centre of the house, the problems are endless.

2. A stove or oven should never be placed next to the sink. The water-energy neutralises the beneficial fire energy. Also, if a burner does not work properly, it can make people of the house feel financially stuck. So ensure that the burner or stove is cleaned regularly and is working obstruction free.

3. There should be no bedroom or toilet above the kitchen.

4. The plumbing of the kitchen should always be working properly. Dripping taps or leaking pipes can symbolize wealth being drained from the family.

5. A toilet door right opposite the kitchen is considered unfavourable. 

6. Select brighter colours for your kitchen. Dull or unnatural colours may make the family unhappy or less active.
