Important Note: It is very important to find the exact zone/direction without any anti-element (example Red color in the North is an anti element) for remedies to work effectively. There are many duplicate or of cheap material available in the market so make sure you buy from a genuine source. You may have to pay more but you know it is genuine. Always perform a cleansing of remedies to remove old energies – clean with Holy water, offer Diya/incense/flowers and chant your favorite Mantra before installing them.
