The feng shui element of East bagua area is Wood, so the cures you will bring have to be either of the Wood element, or the element that nourishes it (Water feng shui element nourishes Wood and Earth feng shui element strengthens it).

The life area connected to the East bagua area of your home is called Health & Family. It is recommended to always express, at least in some of your East feng shui cures, the energy to support your health on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual; as well as a harmonious quality of energy to maintain peace in the family.

Here is what is appropriate for the Health feng shui bagua area of your home:
  • Art with Wood element energy. (See examples of good feng shui Wood element art.)


  • Art or images of health and family harmony. Focus on finding art that really speaks to your heart. Be mindful about the colors in your chosen art, photos or images as feng shui cures and avoid strong Fire or Metal feng shui element colors in the East bagua area.


  • Water element art. (See examples of good feng shui water element art.)


  • Lights are considered a good feng shui cure to uplift the energy in any feng shui bagua area. You can go for any size in your lighting fixtures when using them as a feng shui cure. However, be sure that the size, look and overall design of your light fixture works well with the design of your room and fits harmoniously with your surroundings.


  • Wood and Water elements objects such as fountains, decor items in Wood feng shui element colors (green and brown) or Water feng shui colors (blue and black.) Plants are an excellent feng shui cure in the East bagua area of your home. Be mindful about using the shapes of the elements to further strengthen the area.


  • You might also choose to paint the walls of your East bagua area in any of the nourishing feng shui element colors. Choose from Earth, Wood or Water feng shui element colors.


  • Mirrors are excellent in the East, as they bring more light, open up the space and, of course, nourish the space with the Water feng shui element energy. For the East bagua area, choose a mirror in a square or rectangular shape wooden frame.
