Building materials affect health: the lung diseases common today are linked to the heavy use of adhesives and oil-based paints. Bricks, stones and other materials for a home should be chosen with care.
A large study found that people whose toilet seats were not at water level suffered kidney damage, and many with heart disease, cancer and especially stomach problems had seats out of level. A level seat matters even more than the zone of the toilet.
Sun rays are described as miracle rays that carry silver, gold, iron, mercury, lead and other minerals as well as vitamin D and vitamin B12, each at a particular time around sunrise. No electric light can supply these.
As many diseases exist in land as in the human body. According to Vishwakarma Prakash, illness in a home first enters the land and only then the people; there are even lands that cause cancer. The Vastu practitioner is a doctor and surgeon of the land.
Before sunrise the North-North-East receives the most vitamins (D, A, B12) and minerals, including silver, so it improves health and is the zone of health and immunity; a sick person is kept in this zone.

Marble is calcium carbonate (CaCO3); homes with all-marble or Italian marble floors and no wooden flooring were found with sinus and bronchitis problems and, over time, pain in the knees, legs, thighs and back.
The Sun's light arrives about 48 minutes before sunrise in NNE and NE, carrying the most vitamin D, B12 and Ayurvedic energy, so NNE is the zone of health and immunity. It suits rooms for the elderly and the sick, medicines, water and open space; only toilets and fire are forbidden.
A summary chart assigns sleeping zones by age: children, couples up to 45, adults from 45 to 60 and people above 60 each have their own suitable zones.
Medicines kept in the NNE are charged by the healing rays of that zone; the North, NE, ENE and West also work, but never a cupboard or drawer that faces South.
Vedic Vastu texts assign no place to a toilet inside the house and say its wall should not even touch the house foundation; toilets were built outside, and palaces placed them at the rear in the West-North-West.
Outside the house foundation; in palaces at the rear, on the lower side, in the West-North-West, reached by a pathway not joined to the main wall
Blue is a natural cooling and antiseptic colour that brings devotion, truth and respect, keeps body temperature balanced, and gives mental peace and spiritual growth.
A solid wooden false ceiling without gaps is the best; a glass ceiling is acceptable if fully sealed, while fibre, steel or other metal, synthetic fabric and PVC ceilings disturb energy.
Ceilings; glass at the Brahmasthan or drawing room
Granite contains fluoride, and areas with granite bedrock show more kidney problems and aggression, so it should be used only in limited places such as stairs and windows.
Oil-based paint contains lead that is released into the air and breathed in, causing cough, cold, eye irritation and disease; water-based paint should be used instead.
POP (plaster of Paris with gypsum and adhesive) false ceilings leave hollow gaps that collect dust and negativity and retain moisture and bacteria, so they are best avoided.
PU (polyurethane) finish on furniture is even more dangerous than oil paint and can cause breathing trouble, asthma, headache, vomiting and fainting; natural wood with a traditional natural polish should be used instead.
Solid wooden flooring is the best, ceramic tiles suit business, vitrified tiles are acceptable, and laminate (melamine, a petroleum by-product) should be avoided.
The main door is the face (mukh mandal) of the house and every door and window is a face; the centre of the top frame corresponds to the agya chakra between the eyebrows. A nail driven there damages it and the household suffers constant headaches.

What is the effect of basements in hospitals, and can X-ray machines be kept there?
Functions that need no sun rays, such as storing materials, can be in a basement. X-ray machines can be used in a basement because they do not need sun rays; sunlight actually creates trouble for them.
What happens when the Shikhi (E1) zone is cut, raised, dirty or uneven?
Shiva's third eye opens, meaning upheaval. The mind gets blocked, with no vision, ideas, routine or purpose in business, studies or life, and there can be fire, accidents, anger and brain problems, with migraine, vertigo and weak eyesight. Fungus or dampness at Shikhi keeps illness in the house. Kept clean and balanced, the zone makes residents far-sighted, high-thinking, quick in decisions, calm and steady in mind, and gives them forewarning of coming events.
Why is a doctor's chamber the best use of Parjanya (E2)?
No doctor is bigger than Parjanya: it is the doctor of crops, of humans and of animals, giving them productivity and the power of generation. So a doctor's chamber is the most important orientation at E2, and a conference room also suits it.
Why does an imbalanced Parjanya cause liver problems?
When rain is excessive or fails, production suffers and insects attack the crop, and eating such infested grain damages the liver. So an imbalanced Parjanya damages the liver of the residents; its right bhog is sprouted moong or sprouted salad.
If the main door combination falls in E7 with a cut (half door, half store) and a resident has had serious kidney disease, what should be done?
Such a case confirms that a defect at E7 brings kidney problems. Block that E7 door; the correction takes time, about a year was mentioned. The student also planned to apply the door power treatment taught in the course.
A young woman has been in a coma for months and scans show nothing. Can any remedy help?
The case looks very difficult, but give a command and spread a full layer of energised yellow mustard under her, together with gomti chakra, and simply carry on with this remedy.
A young woman who went through a Rahu-Ketu period and a spirit influence is now bedridden and cannot stand despite physiotherapy. What can help?
Spirits inside a person disturb the whole body and drain its energy. Cupping therapy was suggested for the body, and she should always keep yellow mustard with her. Along with it hing must be used: burning hing and making her smell it drives away any spirit at once, and it can be burnt on paper or on powdered camphor.
Is it true that one should not sleep near electric switches?
Yes. The more electromagnetic current there is near you, the more it affects the nadis, the body and blood circulation, so keep the bed well away from switch boards. The minimum distance is transcribed as 35 feet, which may be 3 to 5 feet; check the class recording.
Why do doctors wear green or blue aprons, and why do hospitals use green?
To keep Budh (Mercury), the planet of intellect, alert: if the mind or concentration slips during an operation, everything goes wrong. Green also nullifies infrared rays and bad energies, so hospitals mostly use green, pista, white and blue.
You explained which vitamins and minerals the Sun gives in different zones. Will we learn which disease comes from which zone-wise deficiency?
Yes. Health is taught in detail in the diploma, including which zone supplies which vitamin and mineral. Nature gives these through the zones, but we fail to recognise them.
