The Science behind Vastu

Very recently during one of our school gatherings, a very heated argument erupted on the topic of vastu. For those who are not aware of Vastu is the study of the science of a home and there are many sceptics. My friend told me the actual scientific reason of how sleeping in a particular direction can actually be bad for us. The earth has a magnetic moment around it and that is why we have a North Pole and a South Pole. Our brains produce tiny amounts of magnetic waves due to the electric signal discharges that are happening in the nerve synapses of the brain.

When we align our heads in a direction that is opposing this natural flow of the magnetic waves of the earth it would cause as to have slight discomfort. The longer we sleep in that same position this discomfort increases. We start losing sleep, get irritated much faster, short temper increases and all these factors will affect your overall performance in any sector. The most astounding thing is that our forefathers even before the actual discovery of Earth's magnetic force have come up with this idea but just did not have the right words to express it. Nowadays most of the houses for sale in Kerala have designed the houses that satisfy the Vastu criteria.
