A Vastu Dosha is an energetic imbalance in your home caused by incorrect placement of rooms, entrances, or structural elements. Most Indian homes have at least one Vastu Dosha — the good news is that the majority can be corrected without any demolition or structural changes.
⚠️ 7 Major Types of Vastu Dosha
1. 🚽 NE Toilet Dosha
Toilet in the North-East (Ishan) zone. Most serious Vastu Dosha — associated with mental stress, blocked opportunities, and financial stagnation. Affects 40% of Indian apartments.
2. 🍳 NE Kitchen Dosha
Kitchen in the North-East creates a fire-water conflict. Linked to recurring financial losses, health issues, and relationship problems in the household.
3. 🏛️ Brahmasthana Dosha
Heavy column, wall, toilet, or staircase in the exact centre of the home. Blocks the energy navel of the property — associated with chronic illness and financial stagnation.
4. 🚪 Wrong Pada Entrance
Main door on an inauspicious pada (position) on the directional wall. The single largest contributor to ongoing Vastu problems in most homes.
5. 🛌 Wrong Bedroom Location
Master bedroom in the NE (sacred zone) or SE (fire zone). Creates restlessness, relationship tension, and deteriorating health for occupants.
6. 📐 Irregular Plot Shape
T-shaped, L-shaped, or triangular plots create directional energy imbalances. Missing corners remove the benefits of that direction from the occupants.
7. 🪟 Vedha Dosha
A tree, electric pole, temple, or T-junction directly facing the main entrance. Blocks positive energy inflow and creates pressure on the threshold zone.

🧂 The Universal Vastu Remedy — Sea Salt
Sea salt (samudri namak) is one of the most powerful and universally applicable Vastu remedies. Place a small bowl of coarse sea salt in:
All 4 corners of each room
Replace every 30 days. The salt absorbs negative energies and neutralises Vastu Doshas in its proximity.
Inside every toilet/bathroom
Especially critical in NE toilets. A bowl of sea salt continuously works to reduce the impact of the bathroom Dosha.
Near the main entrance
A small bowl hidden behind the shoe cabinet at the entrance prevents negative energy from entering the home.
