There is a popular belief that keeping honey at home helps
in warding off negative energy. Honey is also used to overcome Shani Navgrah
related troubles in horoscope in many regions in India and by many communities.
Keeping honey in the east and north side of house helps in
keeping out negative forces. The positive energy emitted by honey keeps the
house safe. There will be peace in the house. There will be cordial
relationship between family members. Diseases will be kept away.
If Shani is causing constant trouble in life, keeping honey

Bhagavan on Saturday.
