Planet periods, doshas and remedies

Do remedies really work?

Published 01-11-2026 · · How we answer

Short answer

Honestly, there is no scientific proof that remedies change planetary effects or guarantee outcomes. Many people still find them steadying: a prayer, a mantra, a fast or an act of service can calm the mind and build good habits. At ChiChakra, remedies are optional practices only. We never sell them, and you never need to pay to get through a hard phase.

How ChiChakra reads this

Each planet traditionally has associated practices; Saturn, for example, is linked with service, patience and Saturdays. We treat these as ways to work with a phase, not fixes for it. Anything that asks you to spend beyond your means, or to replace medical, legal or financial help, is not a remedy we would recommend.

Remedies worth trying

Practical: steady sleep and routine, a realistic budget, finishing one pending task each week and asking for help early. These match what Saturn traditionally asks of us.

Spiritual: daily prayer or a mantra from your own tradition, lighting a lamp, a temple visit, or a simple fast if your health allows.

Service: helping elders, workers or anyone struggling, and giving time or food within your means.

Be wary of anyone who says a costly gemstone or ritual is the only way, or who adds fear to the price.

Good to know

If a practice brings you calm and focus, that is a real benefit in itself. Just don't let it stand in for a doctor, counsellor or adviser when you need one.
