Hi ,
I see , as you are seeking for an alternative option there are quite many option for that,
1. You can , offer Sesame oil on every saturday's to Lord shani.
2. You can establish a Shani yantra

3. In 90 % of times saturn actually give results according to your Karma, it will ignore good karmas and calculate all the bad karmas only. So it is very important for someone to understand and avoid doing any bad thing this will surly nullify the negative effects of Shani.
4.Alcohol, lying, sinful acts, un lawful acts, gimbling etc should be completely avoided to keep shani calm.
