According to Vastu, medicines should not be stored in certain places in the house to avoid health deterioration

The kitchen is traditionally considered the place of Goddess Annapurna and the fire deity, from which the family receives health and positive energy. Since fire has the property of amplification, placing medicines in the kitchen or near the stove leads to the disease progressing rather than diminishing. Furthermore, storing medicine in the kitchen unintentionally turns illness into part of the family's diet, which often leads to a decline in overall health and the appearance of new diseases before the previous one has passed.

Other Undesirable Storage Locations

Besides the kitchen, there are two other places where storing medicine carries negative consequences from a Vastu perspective:

Firstly, it is the dining table. Placing medicines in the middle of the table during meals focuses the entire family's attention on the illness, leading to a loss of the positive energy received from food.

Secondly, it is the bedside area or under the pillow. Storing medicine near the head while sleeping increases the influence of Rahu Dosha, causing nervousness, anxiety, and insomnia in the person.

How to Store Medicine Correctly

To ensure that medicines have a quick effect on the body and to reduce treatment costs, the following rules must be observed:

It is recommended to store medications in the north or northeast direction (Ishan Kona), as this area of the room is considered the direction of health and the abode of the healing god Dhanvantari. At the same time, the medicines must be kept clean.

It is also important to keep medicines hidden from prying eyes. They should not be left scattered on open surfaces, such as tables or shelves; they must always be kept closed in a drawer or cabinet to minimize constant attention from others.
