Whenever there is an imbalance (vastu dosha) in any of the above given direction or zones in a house, it can cause unnecessary obstruction in life, affects health, create disputes with neighbors or within the residing members. Similarly, Vastu dosha at office or commercial complex can affect the business and employees. Hence it is necessary to create a vastu friendly home and office.
If there are vastu doshas at any site be it commercial or residential, remedial measures should be adopted to mitigate the vastu dosha without demolishing any part of the existing building.
