Why Do Many People Place Lemons and Salt at the Bedside?
In folk belief, salt is thought to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, purifying and cleansing the environment. It is also believed to bring health and financial benefits. Lemons, on the other hand, are considered to dispel negative energy and attract positive vibes, inviting good luck and success.
Hence, placing lemons and salt in the bedroom at night is a practice followed by many, who believe it brings good health, purifies the air, drives away bad luck, and improves Feng Shui.
Lemons and Salt for Changing One’s Fortune
According to folk beliefs, a house can harbor both positive and negative energies. Negative energy can impact the health of the occupants, bring financial difficulties, and create disharmony in relationships. To change one’s fortune, it is necessary to alter the energy within the house, getting rid of the negative and inviting the positive.
One folk method to achieve this is by using lemons and salt. Place one or three lemons, cut into quarters, on a plate, and sprinkle salt over them. Keep the plate under or beside the bed. The next morning, discard the lemons and salt into a black plastic bag and throw it away from your house. Repeat this process for three consecutive days to dispel negative energy and attract positive vibrations.
Enhancing Relationships
Placing lemons and salt at the bedside is also thought to improve one’s love life, helping single people find company and married couples resolve conflicts. Take three lemons and place them in a bowl, surrounding them with salt. Keep the bowl beside the bed, and when the lemons turn yellow or wither, replace them with fresh ones. Do this consistently for a week.
Improving Health
The aroma of lemons has a calming effect on the mind, aiding in relaxation and better sleep. It also stimulates the brain, enhances concentration, and improves memory. Keeping lemons and salt in the bedroom or workplace helps purify the air and eliminate unpleasant odors. Lemon essential oil, derived from the lemon’s peel, is also a natural mosquito and insect repellent.
The practice of using lemons and salt to ward off bad luck is based on folk beliefs and has not been scientifically proven. Whether one chooses to follow this practice depends on individual beliefs and perspectives.
