“Hanging these 3 items at the head of the bed, according to our ancestors, can prevent disasters and poverty: Many households overlook this practice.”

Humans spend nearly a third of their lives sleeping because sleep plays a crucial role and directly affects the quality of life for each person. According to ancient experience, there are some objects that should never be hung at the head of the bed as they can affect health, increase the risk of accidents, and bring poverty.

Avoid hanging heavy objects at the head of the bed

Since ancient times, people have paid attention to the interior of the bedroom. They will place some objects on the bedside table and on the wall. This not only makes the family feel warmer but also reflects personal preferences. Some people like calligraphy and elegant hobbies and love porcelain items. People enjoy collecting pottery with beautiful and unique glazes, made by famous artisans.

Displaying pottery and books in the house reflects the gentleman’s style in the family. However, if the pottery is too large and valuable, it is not appropriate to place it on the head of the bed. Even though you can see your precious and beloved things when you wake up, if an accident occurs, it will not only affect your life but also cause financial loss.

In particular, some heavy and commonly found valuable objects such as clocks, paintings, and antique swords are not suitable for hanging at the head of the bed. If someone gets up in the middle of the night and accidentally collides with these objects, accidents can occur and result in significant damage.

Avoid placing a mirror at the head of the bed

Mirrors are commonly used in households and bedrooms for the convenience of dressing and grooming daily.

One simple reason not to place a mirror in the bedroom is that if you wake up in the middle of the night and your mind is not fully awake, seeing your own reflection in the mirror can cause fear and hallucinations, leading to sleeplessness.

Moreover, people often have a fear of darkness, so they usually have a bedside lamp. The light reflecting from the mirror can also disturb sleep and, in the long run, result in fatigue, a dull mood, hinder alertness, and affect productivity. Many people feel tired and low on energy and often take supplements, but in fact, it comes from the mirrors placed at the head of their beds.

Avoid placing strongly scented flowers at the head of the bed

To beautify the home environment and nourish oneself, ancient people liked to grow elegant plants indoors such as graceful chrysanthemums, noble lotus flowers, and fragrant sandalwood… However, according to ancient wisdom, these flowers should only be admired from a distance and not placed at the head of the bed in the bedroom.

Firstly, although some fragrant flowers can purify the air, their strong fragrance can make people overly excited and restless, causing difficulty sleeping at night. In particular, the elderly, women, and children are more vulnerable to the scent of flowers, which can pose hidden health dangers.

Secondly, when people sleep at night, proper air circulation is essential. Without it, there will be chest tightness and difficulty breathing. However, these flowers and plants are similar to humans as they release CO2 and consume oxygen, competing for air nutrients with humans. As a result, the room becomes stuffy and uncomfortable, seriously affecting sleep. Therefore, it is better to place some odorless plants in the bedroom, in well-ventilated areas away from the head of the bed.

Everyone knows that to become wealthy, one must be successful, and to be successful, one must have good health, and to have good health, one must sleep well. Sleep greatly affects our health, success, and wealth. “Not meeting disasters or poverty by hanging these three things at the head of the bed” may seem unscientific, but it is wise experience derived from generations.
