Feng Shui a Matter of Common Sense

As one who holds few superstitions, I too considered feng shui as hocus-pocus. Until I realized that feng shui is often simply common sense about enhancing one’s quality of life.

As an allergist-immunologist, I am particularly intrigued by the recommendation of a southerly exposure and steps to improve ventilation.

Both of these measures would greatly reduce the quantity of indoor molds that not uncommonly produce toxins detrimental to health and often become allergens for those susceptible.

Like the dietary laws of many religions, feng shui for the most part may simply be good hygienic practice. If a healthier body and mind lead to greater prosperity, what would be wrong with that?

One does not have to accept all of the nuances in feng shui theory, but it certainly appears to be more scientific than one’s choice of a mate.
