Nowadays, many people sleep with their medicines, capsules or pill strips near their pillow. They believe that if the need arises suddenly at night, the medicine will be easily available. However, according to Vastu Shastra and astrology, this habit can be harmful for health and mental balance. Experts say that the bedroom is associated with comfort, health and the moon. Medicines symbolize disease and negative energy. By keeping them near the head, this negative energy affects the person’s mind and body throughout the night. This not only impairs the quality of sleep, but can also have a long-term impact on mental and physical health.
What happens if medicines are kept near the head?
From an astrological point of view, the Moon is the planet that controls our mind, emotions and sleep. If medicines are kept near the head, the positive energy of the Moon may become weak. This leads to poor sleep, nightmares, and feeling tired upon waking up in the morning. The negative energy of Rahu can also have an impact, which can increase mental instability and anxiety.
According to Vastu experts, the body and mind absorb positive energy while sleeping at night. If medicines are kept near the head, the mind starts accepting the disease unconsciously, which can delay recovery. For this reason, keeping medicines near the head is considered harmful to both mental and physical health.
Right place:
Experts recommend that medicines should always be kept in a drawer or cabinet in the south-east direction of the bedroom. This not only reduces the negative effects, but also maintains health and positive energy. Additionally, sprinkling Ganga water in the room and chanting “Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya” or “Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah” before sleeping is considered beneficial.
