Size: B-10inches, S-3inches The Wu Lou (also known as the Hulu or Gourd) is one of the most significant symbols in Feng Shui and Vastu. Shaped like a bottle gourd, it represents the union of Heaven (top half) and Earth (bottom half). Traditionally used by monks to store medicine or water, it has become a powerful talisman for protection, healing, and longevity. Key Benefits of the Wu Lou Absorbs Negative Chi: It is famously used to “trap” and neutralize negative energy. In Flying Star Feng Shui, it is the primary cure for the #2 Illness Star and the #5 Misfortune Star. Promotes Healing: It is believed to speed up recovery for those who are unwell and strengthen the immunity of the healthy. Attracts Wealth: Because its shape resembles a “wealth vase” (narrow neck to keep money in, wide bottom to store it), it is also used to preserve prosperity. Protection: It acts as a shield against mishaps, evil spirits, and “poison arrows” (sharp negative energy) in your environment. Placement & Use How and where you place a Wu Lou depends on what you want to achieve: 1. For Health & Recovery Bedside: Place a brass Wu Lou on your nightstand or hang it from the headboard. For serious illness, practitioners often recommend placing two—one on each side of the bed. East Sector: The East is the universal health corner. Keeping a Wu Lou here benefits the well-being of the entire family. 2. For Wealth & Career Office Desk: Placing one on your desk helps neutralize office politics and protects your career from bad luck. Southeast/Wealth Corner: Use a jade or crystal Wu Lou here to enhance financial abundance. 3. For General Protection Main Entrance: Position it near the front door to prevent negative energy from entering the home. Car: Hang a small Wu Lou charm from your rearview mirror to ward off accidents and bad energy while traveling.
