Nine Home Remedies for Wealth, Health, Success!

As the Parsi New Year approaches, it brings a wonderful opportunity to reset our energies and align our homes with positivity, abundance and healing. Whether you live in an apartment or a bungalow, and whether your space follows ideal directions or not, these nine Vastu remedies are simple, culturally mindful and easy for all to adopt.

1. Activating the Wealth Zone (North Direction)

The North direction, ruled by Lord Kubera (the deity of wealth), governs money flow and financial opportunities.

What to Do:

• Keep this area clean, clutter-free, and well-lit.
• Add green elements like plants, curtains, or a table runner to boost money energy.
• Place a mirror on the North wall (not opposite the main door) to symbolically double prosperity.
• Use green crystals like aventurine or peridot here.

Avoid: Dustbins, broken electronics, or unused items in this zone.

2. Locker Placement and Money Flow

• Ideally, your locker or safe should be placed in the South-West zone, facing North.
• If the locker faces another direction, place a mirror opposite it to reflect the contents, symbolizing doubling of wealth.
• Place a Pyrite crystal inside the locker for financial protection and growth.

3. Children’s Study Zone for Focus and Growth

Your child’s study area can enhance concentration, memory and academic success.

• Study desk should face East or North.
• Use a wooden desk with green or yellow accents.
• Place a clear quartz or fluorite pyramid nearby.
• A globe or inspirational quote adds positivity.

Avoid: Mirrors reflecting the desk, gadgets, or clutter around the study zone.

4. Health and Healing Vibes

Your home’s energy directly impacts emotional and physical wellbeing.

• Keep a Tulsi plant in the East-facing window.
• Light sandalwood incense or dhoop every evening.
• Place rock salt bowls near electronics to absorb stress.

Crystals: Amethyst for emotional calm; Rose Quartz for harmony; and Green Aventurine for immunity

Bedroom Colours: Light blue, lavender, peach, soft pink, or beige promote restful sleep and reduce stress. If painting is not possible, use these colours in bedsheets, curtains, or cushions.

5. Plants That Attract Prosperity

Greenery naturally uplifts energy and connects us with abundance.

For Main Door (especially with stairs): Place two tall plants (like Snake Plant or Bamboo) on either side of the door. This balances energy and prevents it from rushing in or out ungrounded.

Other Plants: Money Plant in water or soil (North or East) and Tulsi or Aloe Vera for purification

6. Colour Therapy for Energy Flow

Colours influence mood and vibration. Use them consciously to uplift your space.

Wealth Zone: Green, gold, royal blue
Study Area: Yellow, light green
Bedroom: Soft blue, lavender, peach, pink, beige

Use these shades in accessories like rugs, table covers, cushions, or bed linen.

7. Mindful Use of Mirrors

Mirrors reflect energy. Used well, they can amplify abundance.

• Place a mirror opposite a locker that opens in a non-ideal direction
• Use clean, unbroken mirrors on North or East walls to reflect light

• Avoid mirrors facing the bed or placed opposite the main door

8. Wind Chimes for Energy Movement

Wind chimes circulate energy and break stagnation.

• Use a 5-rod or 6-rod metal wind chime in silver, gold, or white
• Hang it in the North-West or West window
• Avoid placing it directly above doors or beds
• Replace if the sound dulls or chime gets tangled (ideally every 12–18 months)

9. Culturally Aligned Remedies for Parsi Homes

For those who prefer spiritual practices aligned with Zoroastrian tradition:

Lighting a Diya (Divaa): Light it in the East or North-East each morning with an intention or silent prayer.

Faravahar Symbol: Place it on or above the main door for protection. A smaller showpiece in the living room or prayer area enhances clarity and soul alignment.

Rose Water Bowls: Keep a bowl with rose petals and water in the North-East. Change regularly.

Afarganyu and Loban: Burn loban or sandalwood in a traditional Afarganyu and walk around the home while praying.

Brass Bowls with Grains or Coins: Keep these in the North or East zones as a symbolic abundance enhancer.

Indoor Water Fountain: A small tabletop fountain in the North or North-East, facing inward, promotes financial flow and peaceful energy. Keep water clean and moving.

You don’t need a perfectly aligned home to enjoy a life of abundance. With small mindful adjustments – from placing a plant by your door, adjusting your child’s study space, or introducing soothing colours – you can create a home that reflects joy, purpose and prosperity. This New Year, let your home become a reflection of light, clarity, and forward movement. May it bring peace to your heart and wealth to your life!
