Application of Boxwood in Feng Shui

Feng Shui properties of boxwood

People in ancient times liked boxwood trees, thinking that they had the qualities and demeanor of a gentleman, so they called boxwood the gentleman among trees.

Li Yu also mentioned the characteristics of boxwood in his work "Random Thoughts", "Boxwood grows one inch every year, not a millimeter more, but in a leap year, it shrinks an inch. This is the fate given by God." This sentence means that boxwood grows one inch taller every year, not a millimeter more, but in a leap year, it shrinks an inch. This is the fate given by God. There are even related records in other poetry and prose notes. There is another saying about boxwood, which says that boxwood is non-irritable and can sink completely into the water without floating up. In a night without any stars, boxwood cannot be cut. All these statements have added a layer of mystery to boxwood.

Feng Shui Application of Boxwood

Because boxwood has a strong growth ability and can easily grow new branches, when we make boxwood potted plants, we usually shape the boxwood into cloud-like or steamed bun-like shapes. This has a beautiful shape and is in line with the growth habits of boxwood. Boxwood is also a traditional Chinese medicinal material. It can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, stomachache, abdominal distension, toothache, bruises and many other diseases. Boxwood has the effect of warding off evil spirits in Feng Shui. If you plant boxwood at home or place boxwood ornaments, it can drive away evil spirits, make money, and bring auspiciousness to the family.
