Vastu Dosh: Does it really affect the health of a pregnant woman and her baby? Learn the expert's opinion..

North East Toilet Vastu: There is a deep connection between direction and energy in every home. Our elders have always said that if the direction of a house is wrong, it affects not only the residents but also the future generations. Especially when it comes to the north-east direction (Ishan Kon), it is considered very sacred and auspicious. This is the corner from which positive energy enters the home. For this reason, in ancient times, people used to build a place of worship or meditation in this direction.

However, due to space constraints in urban homes, toilets or bathrooms are often built in this direction. According to Vastu Shastra, this is considered a major defect because the negative energy emanating from the toilet can spread to the rest of the house. If a woman is pregnant, it is said that a toilet built in this direction can affect her unborn child.

Now the question is: what exactly is this effect? And how can this be resolved if the toilet is already built? Let's understand in detail from Bhopal-based astrologer, Vastu expert, and numerologist Himachal Singh.

The Importance of the Northeast Direction
In Vastu Shastra, the Northeast direction is called the Ishan corner. It is considered the direction of Lord Shiva and is considered the most sacred place. The natural light and air coming from here maintain a balanced atmosphere in the home. The purity of this corner impacts the energy of the entire home. If there is a toilet or filth in this direction, it is believed that the positive energy of the Northeast corner weakens, which can affect peace and health in the home.

Possible Effects on the Unborn Child
According to Vastu beliefs, if a toilet is built in the Northeast corner of the house, it can affect both the pregnant woman and the baby. Some of the major effects are considered as follows:

1. Physical Weakness: It is believed that the physical growth of a child born in such an environment may be slightly slowed.

2. Mental Instability: Negative energy can increase stress or anxiety in a pregnant woman, which affects the child's mental development.

3. Difficulty in Conception: Some experts believe that having a toilet in the Northeast corner can also hinder conception.

4. Child's Temperament: It is also said that children born in such homes may be a little irritable or emotionally weak.

What does the modern perspective say?
-Now, if we talk about science, according to doctors and scientists, a child's development depends entirely on the mother's diet, health, and mental peace, not on the direction of the house.
-But if a woman is constantly uncomfortable or anxious, that stress can be transmitted to the baby in the womb. Therefore, if someone feels fear or discomfort due to Vastu defects, taking measures can provide mental peace – and this is also necessary.

Easy Vastu Remedies
-If your home has a toilet in the Northeast direction and demolishing or relocating it is not possible, some simple remedies can help:
1. Always keep the toilet door closed.

2. Clean it every morning and burn a light, fragrant incense.
3. Hang a small mirror or green curtain on the toilet wall.
4. Place a Tulsi or Peepal tree near the northeast corner.
5. Sprinkle Ganga water or salt water in that direction from time to time to eliminate negative energy.
6. If possible, create a small prayer space elsewhere in the house to increase positive energy.
