The kitchen is an integral part of your home. It is the place of nourishment. A clean, spacious, and well-organized kitchen represents health and prosperity. Creating a nurturing and joyful cooking zone can boost your well-being.
It is no surprise, then, that Kitchen Vaastu has an important role to play when designing a house. Fire and water are the two main elements in the kitchen. They need to be well-balanced for the overall well-being of the occupants of the house. Any imbalance in these two elements can cause discord, ill health, etc.
Every space has its own energy. When there is positive energy, the people who reside in that space will experience peace, harmony, joy, and good health. When there is negative energy, it can cause all kinds of problems in their lives.
Vaastu Shastra shows us ways to remove the negative energy around us and enhance the positive energy. If the Vaastu of the house, office, or kitchen is not proper, the people using that place will not be able to progress, and it can also displease Goddess Lakshmi, which can lead to money problems as well.
According to Vaastu Shastra, some items in the kitchen should always be available. If they are allowed to get over, it can anger Goddess Lakshmi. This has a negative effect on your finances. So, let us see which are the things that you should never run out of stock in your kitchen.
Salt
One cannot imagine food without salt. Salt helps improve the taste of food, as we all know. But it also has the ability to remove negative energy, as per Vaastu. Besides, it can also eliminate Vaastu defects as well as the malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu. Therefore, ensure that you never run out of salt in the kitchen.
Haldi/Turmeric
Turmeric is a very important ingredient for Hindus. They use it liberally in the kitchen and also during worship. This yellow-colored spice is very auspicious and believed to be associated with the planet Jupiter/Guru, which is a benefic planet that signifies prosperity and good fortune. If you run out of turmeric, it can indicate a fault of Jupiter, due to which your work may face obstacles. So keep your kitchen shelf well-stocked with turmeric always.
Rice
Rice is the staple food of people in India. Also, it is used during worship and auspicious ceremonies during which it is called Akshat. As per Vaastu Shastra, rice is linked to the planet Venus/Shukra. Venus signifies wealth and luxuries. Hindus believe that if they run out of rice in the kitchen, Venus is to blame. This can cause money problems. So always have enough rice in your kitchen.
Wheat Flour
Vaastu Shastra says that flour is linked to one’s financial situation. If the flour runs out, your work is likely to face interruptions. There could also be some money problems, like excessive spending, debts, or a lack of money.
Additional Vaastu Tips for the Kitchen
Avoid keeping medicines in the kitchen
Avoid keeping any medicines in the kitchen, as it can lead to an increase in the dose of medicines you need to take every year. This implies that you will be falling ill often, which is not at all desirable. So remove all medicines from your kitchen pronto.
No old papers on kitchen shelves
Do not use old newspapers to line your kitchen shelves for placing kitchen jars and crockery. People do not read old news. Old news is like stagnant energy. By removing old newspapers, you can allow new energy to come in and move freely.
No chipped or damaged plates
It is considered disrespectful to eat from a damaged or chipped plate. Broken crockery tends to attract stagnant energy. Also, it is like disrespecting your food. Get rid of damaged or non-functional dishes, utensils, or cooking devices and replace them with new ones. Eating food on cracked plates will attract troubles into your life.
Choose colors that nourish
Food nourishes us. Hence, use nourishing colors like orange, lemon yellow, and pistachio green in the kitchen. The fire element represents the kitchen, so colors like red and orange can create an energy imbalance. So, it’s better to avoid them. You need not use new plates, glasses, and cutlery, but they should be well-maintained to attract positivity.
Kitchen plants
Many people often have some plants in the kitchen. Some like to have flowers, while others prefer herbs that can be used in cooking. Some also like to have healing plants in the kitchen. Such plants bring a fresh healing energy into the cooking zone. You can also use them to season the food. So, it’s a good idea to cultivate some herbs in the kitchen. They could be basil, lemongrass, or mint. Using such herbs in your cooking lets you eat healthy food and also helps attract positive energy.
