Local term: कीमोथेरेपी रूम / नॉर्थवेस्ट (Kīmotherēpī Rūm / Nŏrthvesṭ)
Modern oncology center design supports NW placement for chemotherapy. Superior ventilation, hazardous drug containment, fresh air intake, and comfortable infusion environments align with NW orientation.

Sub-Rules
- Chemotherapy room in NW zone with excellent ventilation and air filtration▲ Major
- Chemotherapy in W zone with good air circulation▲ Moderate
- Chemotherapy in S or SE zone▼ Moderate
- Chemotherapy in NE or E — growth energy feeding cancer cells▼ Major

Chemotherapy destroys cancerous cells and the body must release the destroyed tissue and toxic agents. This destruction-and-release function belongs in the NW (Vayavya) where Vayu's dispersing energy supports both the destruction of the malignant and the expulsion of the toxic. Placing chemotherapy in growth zones (NE/E) energetically contradicts its purpose.
Common Violations
Chemotherapy room in NE or E zone — growth energy feeding cancer cells
Traditional consequence: The NE/E zone provides creation and growth energy — the exact opposite of what chemotherapy intends. Placing cancer treatment in the growth zone energetically feeds the malignancy rather than destroying it.
Chemotherapy room with poor ventilation or sealed air
Traditional consequence: Vayu's release energy requires air movement. A sealed chemotherapy room traps the toxic energy that should be dispersed, creating a stagnant zone where destruction energy accumulates.

HemadpanthiClassical Sources
“The chamber where potent medicines destroy the rogue growth within the body shall face the Vayavya quarter. As Vayu disperses the storm clouds and cleanses the atmosphere of corruption, so the destruction-chamber in the northwest disperses the malignant growth from the patient's body.”
“The Visha-chikitsa (toxic-therapy) wing occupies Vayavya — the zone of release and expulsion. When powerful substances must destroy diseased tissue, they work most effectively where Vayu's dispersing energy aids the expulsion of what has been destroyed.”
“Where the healer administers potent substances to destroy the aberrant growth, the chamber faces the northwest wind. Vayu carries away the destroyed tissue and toxins as wind carries away the fallen leaves — the NW is the zone of natural release.”
“Vishvakarma ordains: the Roga-nashana (disease destruction) chamber occupies Vayavya. The northwest wind carries destruction to what must be eliminated and release to what must be let go. In this zone, the healer's potent medicines find their greatest ally in Vayu's expelling force.”
