"Feng Shui addresses specific areas of the body because each area is related to different areas of your home, with the center of the home related to overall balance, health included," says Susan Pildis, co-director of The New England School of Feng Shui in Chesire, Conn., who specializes in helping people with health issues.

Pildis emphasizes that Feng Shui is best used simultaneously with other traditional and alternative treatments.
