As explained earlier, kitchen in Ishan zone is classified as major defect and fixing it 100% is impossible. Thus, if you are still in designing or building phase then you should relocate the kitchen in the south east zone in the vastu.
But doing so is not possible in existing properties. It can be however, corrected significantly by following advises-
I. Use a snake plant in the kitchen to add greenery in the kitchen. Of course, it does more than that. Snake plants can attract positive energy in its surrounding, which can overcome the negative energy that is otherwise generated from it. You can use other indoor plants too, but snake plant is advised by vastu expert because its leaves can sustain the heat generated from the kitchen oven.
II. Keep a bowlful of vastu salt in the kitchen. Vastu salt should not be confused with the regular kitchen salt that is used for cooking. The vastu salt is a special type of salt which is rich in positive energy. It works as a blotting paper that soaks up negative energy from the surrounding. In doing so it filters the negative energy in the kitchen area. Don’t forget that the vastu salt begins to lose its property and eventually must be discarded and replaced with fresh bath of salt. For optimum result, you need to do this once a week.
III. It is best to use yellow Jaisalmer marble for making the kitchen countertop in order to negate the defect of kitchen in north east zone. If this is not possible, you can simply install a slab of yellow Jaisalmer marble under the oven as an alternative remedy. In case you live in a rented place and are looking for a much cheaper alternative for the time being, then you can also use a yellow-colored fire proof mat under the oven.
IV. Keep your kitchen clean and dirt free for better hygiene and better vastu. Cleanliness should be practiced in every corner of the home and especially in the kitchen area. Otherwise, lots of negative energy releases from it. Use air fresher to remove bad smell if, needed.
V. Clearing the trash of the garbage daily is very important. For obvious reasons, in the kitchen area lots of vegetable and non-veg waste is generated, which we collect in the kitchen dustbin. You should discard the dustbin every day without fail to reduce risks of cockroach infestation and also to minimize the generation of negative energy.
VI. Open the windows during cooking and daytime without fail. This will help flush out the toxic gases that is released during cooking. Also, it facilitates the entry of sunlight and natural daylight inside the kitchen area. It is considered useful to boost the vastu of the kitchen and also improves the health of the women cooking daily meals.
VII. You should follow the color therapy as well. The north east zone represents water element and thus you need to use blue or black color for the kitchen walls and tiles. This will create balance in the kitchen vastu.
