Salt Water Cure: Feng Shui Use & Placement Guide

What Is a Salt Water Cure?

A highly specialized, functional remedy made of a glass jar, coarse salt, water, and six metal coins. It is used specifically to absorb and neutralize the most dangerous annual flying star afflictions.

Why It’s Used in Feng Shui

It triggers a continuous chemical reaction. As the salt water reacts with the metal coins and evaporates, it creates a crystalline crust that actively “traps” toxic Earth energy, acting like an energetic hazmat filter.

Where to Place It

• In the Star 5 Yellow sector: Its primary use. Keep it tucked behind furniture where it won’t be disturbed.
• Keep it open to the air: The jar must not have a lid to allow the chemical reaction to interact with the room’s Qi.

What It Addresses

• ✦ Counters: Star 5 Yellow (Disaster Star) and Star 2 Black (Illness Star) by providing a quiet, static method strong enough to drain extreme Earth energy.

2026 Placement Note

In 2026, the Disaster Star 5 is in the South and the Illness Star 2 is in the North. Setting up a Salt Water Cure in the South is critical this year, as you cannot use noisy chimes due to the Tai Sui overlap.

Choosing One (How to Make It)

Fill a jar 3/4 with salt, place 6 brass coins on top, and fill with water. Place a protective plate underneath. Never clean it. Throw the entire jar away at the end of the lunar year.
