It has become a trend on Thai social media, a spiritual tip that only uses “ salt and garlic ” by writing the amount of money, sales, or income desired on a garlic clove, placing it with salt in a small bag, and carrying it with you. It is believed to attract wealth, luck, and open the way for good things.
It began with a Facebook user Phanprucgsa Sriponsaen sharing this spiritual tip, saying it boosted her sales. It is now widely shared across social media platforms. Some keep the bag in their wallet, others in their daily-use bag, or under their pillow (considered a personal belief).
Combining salt and garlic is interpreted as removing obstacles while mentally attracting wealth and financial opportunities into one’s life. Each item has meaning as follows:
Peel and slice one side of the garlic clove to make a flat surface
Write the desired amount of money or sales, for example, 100,000 baht
Put about two teaspoons of salt into the bag
Place the garlic clove in the bag, seal it tightly, and focus your intention on the goal
Carry it in your wallet or regular bag
Practitioners usually keep it for about 3–5 days, then replace it with a new set. If the garlic becomes moldy, smells bad, or leaks liquid, it should be discarded immediately by sealing the bag tightly before throwing it in the trash.
This salt and garlic spiritual wealth attraction practice is a personal belief. There is no evidence proving it can actually bring money or increase sales. It should be used as encouragement and a reminder of goals, alongside regular planning and effort.
