We all care about our homes and spend time, effort and money, trying to make them more comfortable. Once the house is constructed, it's not so easy to make the structural changes. Here are some of the remedies suggested by Vastu Ananda that you can do yourself to to remove or lessen the Vastu dosha and bring prosperity in life.

• Keep cleanliness. Use sea salt and Gau Mutr (Cow urine) to wipe.
• Light incense sticks daily basis in the evening in the house temple.
• When sitting for worship, keep your face towards northeast.
• Drinking water should be in the northeast of the kitchen.
• The statue of Lord Hanuman should not be placed in southeast. It may be a cause of a fire hazard.
• The hinges of doors should be noiseless. The hinges may be greased periodically.
• Bed should not be put under a beam.
• A house should not have paintings which depict depressing scenes, i.e. like an old woman crying, scenes of war or poverty. It should have a picture of say, a sunrise, an ocean, mountains, flowers or laughing children.
• Tall trees are nowhere recommended close to the main building. For trees, the south in itself is good and so is the west. No tree should be grown in the north and the east.
• Small decorative plants and shrubs may be grown in the north and the east. The height should not exceed, say, half a meter at the northeast increasing gradually to not more than 1.5 meters as one moves from the northeast to the northwest or to the southeast end.
