The Wu Lou (bottle gourd) originates from a vegetable. When dried, it is very durable and its shape renders it useful as a receptacle for medicine. Most often the Wu Lou is carried by aged people as a charm of longevity and a charm to dissipate or ward off pernicious influences. The Wu Lou is one of the most significant tools to cure many bad situations and enhance our Feng Shui.
A normal concern in any home is to keep the family free of negative influences, bad luck and ill health. Over a period of time the house normally gathers unpleasant energy which could be due to lifestyle, accumulation of clutter and even sourcing artifacts and furniture which are not very harmonious.
There are many methods which one can adapt to counter negative energies and protect the home and the family. However in the science of Feng Shui the solutions are quite simple and can be adapted in our daily lives.
By using some simple techniques of Feng Shui one can deflect, dissolve and disperse bad luck. Usually a key aspect to this is to identifying such bad energies and countering them well in time.
One simple approach could be good house-keeping and protecting the home from the change of energies annually which in Feng Shui parlance is referred to as “annual corrections” or “spring cleaning.”
This is to ensure that at the beginning of the year or anytime throughout the year if you are experiencing unpleasant situations, obstacles or illness, you could find a good remedy to dissolve such energies and check the Feng Shui of your space.
This ensures good protection and makes you stay ahead of these negative energies which have the power to create problems in one’s life. At times such energies push back your plans and create insurmountable issues which would push the person back by few years in terms of his prospects and life goals.
Some of the simple yet practical remedies in Feng Shui are the use of sea salt and special protective symbols known as Wu Lou.

The other simple remedy is the use of sea salt. The sea salt is commonly used in Feng Shui to get rid of negative energy and to allow a balanced chi to flow inside the home. The sea salt is either used alone or mixed with water and placed in certain areas of the home to counter annual afflictions. One popular method of cleansing the home to get rid of negative energy is to mix 5 to 6 tablespoons of sea salt in a bucket of water and mop the floors with the mixture.
However, if the house is feeling depleted and choked, it’s an indication of accumulated bad energies which can be dissolved. Place a pot or jug filled with sea salt in every room and remove it after 24 hours. Sea salt can also be spread around the ‘outside perimeter’ of the house to put a stop to any negative energy entering the home.
