This means that the energy in your home is not correct. This might be because things are not in the right position in your home or because there are some issues with the structure of your home.

I met a homeowner once who couldn't sleep. He was really stressed out. He consulted a Vastu consultant. Know that his bedroom was facing an incorrect direction and his mirrors were not placed properly. He did some minor adjustments and felt relaxed in a couple of weeks.

So let's understand how to remove Vastu Dosh from our house quickly.

What is Vastu Dosh?

Vastu Dosh is the term used to describe problems or issues in a home as per Vastu Shastra, which's an ancient Indian science that deals with the balance of the five elements. Earth, water, fire, air and space.

Vastu Dosh can be caused by:

1. Bad direction of entrance
2. Kitchen in the wrong place
3. Toilet in the wrong direction
4. Areas with blockage in the form of clutter
5. Mirrors in the Negative areas
