In folk practices, salt is thought to act as a barrier against evil spirits, bad luck, or negative influences.
Purifying the Space:
Salt is seen as a cleansing agent in many cultures, so placing it under the bed may symbolically purify the sleeping area.
Tips If You Try It:
Use coarse sea salt or kosher salt for traditional purposes.
Place the salt in a small dish or cloth bag to avoid it spilling.
Replace the salt every few weeks to maintain its “effectiveness,” according to traditional beliefs.
Note: There is no scientific evidence that putting salt under your bed physically removes negative energy or improves health. Any effects are likely psychological or symbolic, but some people find it comforting as part of a bedtime ritual.
