Do not place a large wooden table, a piano or any other huge wooden objects in your health sector. Other large wooden objects that should not be placed  here  –religious wooden statues, mantelpieces and hanging overhead beams.


Things that are shaped like tree trunks or columnar in shape create stagnant energy in this sector. This is not a good area to situate pillars, wooden curious or sweeping wooden staircases.

Too much green in this sector is said by some to cause cancer as green encourages everything to grow, not just that which you want to …green is not a good color to have in your bedroom if you have cancer either.

It is ruled by the earth element so to enhance the chi in this area it is a good idea to put a collection of plants or bowls of crystals or rocks.  The colors brown mustard and all shades of yellow also correspond to the earth element so curtains and floor coverings should be in these colors. Sometimes all it takes is a slight shift in color to enhance your chi for health.


Perhaps the simplest addition would be a pot of bright yellow mums or chrysanthemums.


In China, bowls of fruit placed in stone or ceramic bowls are thought to enhance the health. A fruit bowl created with real or ceramic peaches is a good addition to this area as in China the peach is associated with longevity and good health.

This area governs family relationships and health. The foilage or trees that are planted here should mainly be evergreen (as they endure renew themselves) and there should be at least one big tree as the area is symbolized by the element of big wood in the Ba’ Gua. Pine, Spruces, Juniper, Magnolia and Elder trees are especially fortunate for health.

Once again I am throwing a little bit of pagan symbolism in with my Feng shui. Purple, white and yellow are good colors for this area so the ideal flowers to plant would be irises, morning glory, violet, daisies,loosestrife, meadowsweet, and hostas.

Herbs to plant in this area include eucalyptus, catnip, purslane, tobacco, hemp lavendar, linden, scullcap, vervain, marjoram and sage.

If you want to plant produce I would plant avocadoes, rhubarb, carrots, radishes and rye.

Peace Be Still, Sam

This makes it an important symbol of rebirth and new hope in Feng Shui. It represents immortality and a return from death which why it is used in Feng Shui to improve health.

 
The image of the Phoenix is often found in sculptures and on posters but when it coems to assistance with health matters a fan is best. This is mainly because of portability as the fan used to be carried everywhere with an ailing person.  Nowadays you can just buy a lucky charm in the shape of the bird

 
The most auspicious places to put a Phoenix fan are by the sick person’s best or in  the center of the home which is the area  that is the universal  health sector.
