Vastu Tips for Kitchen

*1) What are the Vastu remedies if you are facing west while
cooking?*
As per Vastu, you should be facing east while cooking in your home kitchen. But what if you already
have an existing kitchen with Vastu flaws? Here are Vastu remedies if you are facing west while
cooking:
A. paste a Venus crystal pyramid above the stove
B. place a set of three zinc pyramids on the wall directly opposite the gas stove

*2) Which side is good for the kitchen?*

Vastu shastra suggests that all four directions are acceptable. However, there is a most prefered one,
and the other three locations bring some form of Vastu dosh. This Vastu dosh can be corrected by
practising specific Vastu remedies, as given below. Kitchen Vastu locations are:
✓ *First preference – South-east Kitchen*
✓ Second preference – North-west Kitchen
✓ Third preference – Southwest Kitchen
✓ Fourth preference – North-east Kitchen

*3) What is the best kitchen location in Vastu?*

The perfect location for the kitchen is south-east direction. Vastu experts believe that Lord of Fire
prevails in this direction of the home. If your house cannot have the kitchen in the south-east direction,
then you can go with the north-west zone.

*4) What are Vastu Kitchen colours?*

For a Vastu kitchen, fire colours of yellow, orange and red are recommended. Colours such as black
and grey are avoidable as per kitchen Vastu design.

*5) What are the vastu dosh problems in a kitchen?*

A kitchen with Vastu dosh can create several problems in your life:
A. Raise a conflict between family
B. Health problems
C. Financial worries

*6) Is Kitchen vastu responsible for Family conflict?*

If you are facing relationship issues or there are conflicts among family members, then vastu could be
one of the contributing factors. Fixing all the things, especially the kitchen as per vastu rules, will be the
best option to resolve these issues.

*7) Is Vastu associated with Health problems?*

Your family members may face several health problems if the kitchen and kitchen appliances are not
set as per vastu guidelines. The negative energy in the poor vastu kitchen may cause health problems.
