About daily remedies
In Hindu tradition each weekday is ruled by one of the seven visible grahas and is sacred to a deity — Monday to Shiva, Tuesday to Hanuman, Thursday to Vishnu, Saturday to Shani and Hanuman, and so on. Simple upay — a prayer, a mantra, charity of the planet's grain or colour, or a small act of service — are a way of beginning the day with intention. The tithi adds its own observance: Ekadashi for Vishnu, Chaturthi for Ganesha, Trayodashi for Shiva, Amavasya for the ancestors.
For a remedy suited to your own chart, see the predictions in your free kundli or ask an astrologer.
