The most basic thing one can do to maintain health and harmony (according to Vastu) is to use natural resources and healthy, high-quality materials, and to avoid toxic materials.
One must also avoid recycled or previously used materials from another building, because old materials may bring into the new house events that already occurred in the old house. The use of such materials can also lead to loss of wealth. What is better: to invest a bit more money in new materials and enjoy the results for a long time, or to save money but not enjoy the outcome, because in a short time you will have to replace the recycled materials as they have deteriorated? The answer is the well-known saying: “the miser pays twice.”
One must also avoid the proximity of electromagnetic fields, large electric poles, polluted water, humidity, and ventilation problems. Therefore, when choosing a site for a house or choosing a house, it is important to pay close attention to the environment surrounding it. If it is located in a polluted area, surrounded by industrial buildings, a gas station, a cemetery, a hospital, or if the place has safety-related issues, one should reject such an acquisition.
Clean, quiet places with beautiful views and trees are considered excellent for living. If you ask a person who has lived in a mountainous, beautiful, and relatively quiet town, and who also lived for some time in a noisy, crowded, and polluted yet central city, where he felt better, he will most likely answer that he felt much better in the quiet town with views, and that life in the big city was connected with work or other goals. Going through this experience myself served as additional proof that one should live in a harmonious environment, wherever that may be.
Wood is a natural and pleasant material, so it is no surprise that it is considered so positive. If there is no nature, abundant greenery, or trees in your surroundings, you can always grow plants yourself, hang paintings or beautiful drawings at home depicting plants or flowers, or place colorful flowers in a vase with water, even if there is no special reason for it.
