The kitchen is an important part of a home. It is where people cook food which nourishes the home dwellers. It is vital that we cook the food in a positive environment. Also, the one who cooks the food should be in a happy frame of mind when cooking. This happy energy ensures that those who eat the food will also be happy as they will gain health, happiness, and positivity.

There are many myths related to kitchen Vaastu regarding the correct direction and the kitchen interior, which tend to influence people who wish to buy a new home as well as those who want to balance the Vaastu of an existing one.

Direction to Face While Cooking

One common myth says that one should face the East direction while cooking. However, this is just a myth, and facing other directions is not an issue. Which direction we face is irrelevant. The main thing is that the one who cooks should be happy and relaxed when they cook. If the person does it with interest, love, and enjoyment, the food cooked in this manner will contain positive energy, which will be transferred to those who consume the food.

Thus, this myth has no significance, as per Kitchen Vaastu.

When the Kitchen and Toilet Share the Same Wall

The best directions for the kitchen are- 1. South East, 2. South and 3. West. On the other hand, the best directions for the toilet are East of South East, South of South West, and West of North West. These directions occur next to each other, which suggests that the ideal direction of Kitchen and Toilet lie adjacent to each other.

In many buildings, the kitchen and toilet are adjacent to each other. However, as they are in their prescribed Vaastu directions, the occupants will not face any challenges. The challenges, if any, may be because of interiors not being done according to Vaastu guidelines. This can cause disturbance in the five elements, and this imbalance will have an impact on the temperament and health of the occupants. So, the root cause should be addressed to remedy the problem.

When the Kitchen is Below or Above a Toilet

Vaastu experts will not recommend having a kitchen below a toilet in a new building under any circumstances, as it can completely destroy the energy of the food that one cooks in such kitchens. This can bring constant and persisting challenges in the lives of the occupants. The kitchen should not be above the toilet as well.

If you move into a house where the kitchen already exists below or above the toilet, some temporary treatments may be performed to nullify the negative energies of such a construction. But it is better to relocate either the toilet or the kitchen as soon as possible, in the directions indicated by Vaastu.

When the Bedroom is Above or Below the Kitchen

The best directions for the kitchen (burner) are South East, South of South East, South and West. Let’s take a look at the effects of having the bedroom in these directions. The energies of the South East bedroom make people active, while the South of South East bedroom enhances people’s confidence and strength, both mental and physical. The South bedroom is conducive to a relaxed and tranquil sleep, which is required for good health, rejuvenation, and productivity. The West bedroom ensures that the efforts made by the occupants bring the maximum output.

It is obvious that the direction of the bedroom should be decided according to the objective of the occupant. Kitchen energies are not known to have a negative influence on bedroom energies, whether they are below or above each other.

Granite Counter can Cause Cancer

During cooking, granite gets heated. It produces harmful radiation, which can cause tumors to develop in the abdomen area of the person who cooks as they stand there for a long time while cooking.

Instead of granite kitchen counters, you can opt for safer alternatives like natural stone slabs. If the kitchen has already been built, place natural stone atop the granite surface and then keep the stove on it. The color of the slab needs to be chosen. After analyzing the direction of the kitchen and stove, the color of the slab and its strength can be chosen. When analyzed and then placed properly, the stone slab will balance the energies of a kitchen that is not in a Vaastu-recommended direction.

If one has any concerns, it is possible to make some changes in the interiors with the help of a good Vaastu expert. Vaastu balancing of living spaces ensures a satisfying life, but one should not go by vague or misleading information or remedies. Always get the advice of a reputed Vastu expert.
