Hello Cecil,
Someone taught me to put 6 sing-dollar coins in a jar of saltwater to ward off the 5 star. It's suppose to be more effective than tieing with red string or red packet.
Your opinion please.
Thanks

Dear Anon,
I understand that this is recommended by some practitioners i.e. the use of salt water with 6 coins.
What is the rationale of using Red string with 6 coins and not 6 coins with water:-
Metal in Water, will result in Metal being absorbed to create water, ending up losing the Metal as a controlling element. And the strengthened Water is not really going to be effective in (controlling) by controlling Fire, because the Strong Earth #2 & #5 is not at all being controlled.
Red String helps to control 6 coins, because 6 is already strong plus being metal themselves, so need a little control, it will not affect or activate the Earth, simply because there is a very strong Metal influence.
The Triple Combinations
If you noticed, Fire-Earth-Metal are (Triple combinations). Where Fire creates Earth, and yet destroy some Metal, while Earth produce Metal and yet destroy Water. This creates a harmony cycle which is what most cures should eventually do. Create a balance.
It is not practical to bottle up the 6 coins in a glass bottle. Under the `commonsense approach' what happens if the bottle drops and breaks open. Thus it is not feasible under normal situations to do this sort of thing. Plus the coins get eroded and the `fumes' when the coins interact with salt water is bottled or pressurised in the bottle.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

The reason saltwater is that it contains sodium ions which like metal is a conductor.
Interestingly this would mean the sea itself would be metal !!
