Cleansing of one's home with Chinese Medical Herbs (正氣長存于宅中)

Rating:★★★
Category:Other

Alot of the people had been approaching me for one same enquiry, How to do a proper, effective and easy Cleansing for one's home (may it be a totally new one, etc).

And of cos, my task to share with them and in here, all of you.

To get the best and the most appropriate way of doing cleansing (this is the way that being practice by the Official Priests and Chinese Physicians for Centuries), one self can prepare the following stuff:

1 get a New Urn (not necessary to be very big, maybe a diameter of 8 Inches)

2 go to a Chinese Medical Hall to get the following Chinese Herbs:

2a) 藿香 (Huo Xiang, English term: Agastachis Herba)



2b) 甘草(Gan Cao, English term: Liquorice)
 
3 go to Joss-shop to get some Incense-powder (used during Ritual/Ceremony)

After getting all the stuffs, choose a Good Morning (without Raining, Storm or No-sunshine Day), best that everyone is at home.

Bring out the Urn, wash it with Water, dry it and them, pour some of the Incense-powder into the Urn to make a layer of Base.

Then, spread out the Huo Xiang and Gan Cao over the Powder-base, after spreading the Herbs out, pour another layer of Powder onto the Herbs, repeat the procedure for at least 3 times (meaning 3 Layers) and then, light a stick of incense and throw it into the Urn (allow the Incense to slowly lit the Powder up).

Once the fume of the Burning started to get thicker, walk around the whole Premises, allow the Fume (smoke) to reach every corner of the Premises.

After the whole Premises is being Cleansed, place the Urn in the Center of the whole Premises, in-order to allow the Fume to continue doing the necessary Cleansing. During this period, everyone in the Premises can take turn to start in front of the Urn to allow the Fume to flow thru the Whole Physical Body, by doing so, it will attain a form of Physical, Mind & Soul Cleansing.

Once the whole Cleansing Process is done, make sure the Burning stopped in the Urn and then keep the Urn in a safe and dry place. Do not throw the Urn away, cos the Urn may be used for next Cleansing Process.

Okay, till here, some of you might have some enquiries on whether will the Fume do harm to one self, my reply is an absolute NO. According to Chinese Medical Theory, Huo Xiang is a Chinese Herb that used to do Killing of Germs in the Ancient Era whenever there is a Virsus-attack disaster and according to the Modern Scienticfic Examination, Huo Xiang is able to kill at least 80% of the Normal Virsus that can be found in our Surrounding. And for Gan Cao, it is a form of Chinese Herb that act as Catalyst in many Mixture Processing and so, by adding these 2 Chinese Herbs together for the Cleansing Process, it will somehow reached a Higher Percentage of Cleansing Objective.

In Spiritual Theory, Huo Xiang is treated as a form of Spiritual Weapon that give out Brightness and Strength to overcome any form of Negative Entities or Energies, by calling upon the Energy that being given out by Gan Cao (in Chinese Term known as Deity of Medicine), the surrounding stubborn Energies will be ward-off and so, a Spiritual Cleansing will take effect in a very short moment.

And so, when can such Cleansing be done?

For those who are okay with the Fuming, such Cleansing can be done in Weekly basis, if not, Monthly basis.

Best timing to do such Cleansing will be,

1 when there is sick member who stay at home
2 49/100 Days after Funeral (when the Tablet being transfered onto the Main Altar)
3 before moving into a New House
4 after Major Renovation
5 Moving into a New Temple
6 while Priest performing the Dotting Ritual for new statues

In Taoist Context, such Cleansing is known as Zheng Qi Chang Cun, Yin Yang Shun Diao (正氣長存。陰陽順調), meaning The Upright will retain and the Yin Yang will Balance.

  1. Bro Jave, the Chinese Herbs are harmless.
    What about the Incense Powder? What is it? Will it be harmful?

    ReplyDelete
  2. The Incense-powder is harmless too, unless you get the very Bad-quality type, but usually those sell in Singapore are consider Middle-Grade or Top-Grade, so no need to worry too much.

    Unless you wanted to do Cleansing everyday, if not, weekly or monthly basis wont do harm.

  3. Something to add:

    For those whose family members are suspected to be possessed by certain Entities, this Cleansing Method can be used too.

    Just that, during the Cleansing, only Strong Man are encouraged to be around, old people, children and Ladies are suggested to leave the room, this is to prevent the Entities from switching to another person's Physical Body.

  4. The Incense-powder I know in Indonesia is sandalwood powder. Is it ok?

  5. Sandal wood or Agar wood Powder will be the best.

  6. Thanks Shifu for this article. I think it'll be very good since I had a kid. When he got an unneasy condition when sleeping. I sometimes burn the red onion peels, salt and rice and fumigating the surroundings. So far, it looks quite effective. Is that any wrong with the method, Shifu ?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Onion is also a good type of Cleansing Object, but due to it is a normal consuming plant, so the effect wont remain long.

    As for Salt & Rice, yes, they are Good Spiritual Cleansing Objects, even without any form of burning, they will also reach a cleansing Objective, just that, when tackling issues that associated with Virsus or illnesses.

  9. Love your articles. I live near a major Chinese Immigrant population in the Greater Vancouver, BC in Canada. I do not speak any Chinese at all but sometimes I show herbalists etc the Chinese Characters for herbs etc. What are the Chinese Characters for Incense Powder? I already have Agarwood powder as it is one of my favourite incenses. I also have Oudi or Agarwood chips from Jeddah which I sometimes use. I first bought Oriental Incenses when I was around 10 years old in 1957 cycling to a Chinese Curio shop 50 miles from my house in the ancient English city of Chester. My favourite at that time was Plumeria which I used to burn in front of a little statue of KuanYin although I really did not understand why as I was not a Buddhist. Majid Buell

  10. This is the normal way, but it will take effect to an extend only.

    Especially using Pomelo Leave, the effect will be replace very soon if the whole Process is not being done properly.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yup, it will be great if you all can have a try on that.

    While doing the cleansing, remember to open up all the windows, allow the Bad-energy being released out and to allow the New-Good Energies to enter into the House or Rooms.

  14. IZZIT CONSIDERED AS 药香AS WELL? GOOD FOR MEDITATION?

    ReplyDelete
  15. MAY I KNOW WUT IS THE CORRECT RATIO FOR THE HUO XIANG, GAN CHAO AND INCENSE POWDER?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Can consider as a form of Medication Meditation, but for some ppl, the aroma that given out by such Herbs can be a bit strong and so, it may affect the concentration.

    If you will to use the 8 inches Urn, if you can spread out every layer as I mentioned, the ratio will be just nice.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes, you may, but the effect might not be that good.

    藿香 quite cheap, you just need to go Chinese Herbal Shop to get it, a pack is less than S$2.00.

  21. Just did that this morning. Found that the 香粉 is quite difficult to get the gan cao burning.
    would it be ok to cut the gan cao and into smaller peices?
    After the walk around the house with the limited smoke, which i got an "ok" from Guang Teh Gong to start, the fumes seems to get weaker after i place it back to the alter, and i got try kick start it with putting in more burning joss stick. also found that the gan cao barely got burnt. so the suggestion of cutting it into smaller pieces.

  22. one thing to note is the the qi in the house seems more balanced now. meaning usually i got to on the fan wherever i go in the house, not i can feel flowing of air into the house and i do not feel that hot.
    My elder daughter who is quite connected to negative things during age 1-3 started to get stomache and throw up for no reason.....will observe if the next time is the same. wonder why is it so or its just co-incidence.

  30. Sifu,

    How to know wether the -ve entities are present, how they come in and how they leave? And what are these -ve entities? Why do they come into my house?

  31. Hi Joshua,

    Usually when they enter into one's house, meaning that the members inside the family are low in luck. and when they sneaked in, usually oneself or the others wont be able to aware of that. This is how such entities function.

    In-order to make sure they leave, in here, using the cleansing method is the best.

    When such entities leave, oneself or other members luck will regain back to its normal level (individual person will have different level, this will need oneself DOB to check on that).

  33. Hi Jave,

    Just curious, why does negative entities tend to appear on festivals?

    cheers

    ReplyDelete
  34. When a Festival arrive, it means that there will be Transitions in Energies. Once there are Energies Movement, many issues tend to occur, especially Negative Energies that attract Negative Entities or Beings. For those who are Physically or Spiritually Weak, these people will tend to get affected faster. And this is why, we need to take precautions before it is too late.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi Jave,

    Sorry, but why does festivals cause energies transitions?

    cheers

    ReplyDelete
  36. Festivals, in Chinese known as Jie Qi (節氣), meaning the end of a Period & Starting of a new Period (each period is about 15-16 Days). Once ending & beginning starts, it will cause transition, just like season cross over to another season. This is the Period that will cause Sha Qi (煞氣) to occur.
