Rudrakshas and their benefits

Rudraksha Malas are a religious prayer beads in Hinduism and have popularly been associated to Lord Shiva and have been used by devotees while chanting mantras.

Rudrakshas are made by seeds of large evergreen broad-leaved trees with Elaeocarpus Ganitrus being the primary species. 

Rudraksha has been known for its range of benefits to the mankind spanning from spirituality, health, prosperity, psychological issues, fear and the emotional world.

John Garret and Mr.Kerber Drory have reported many medicinal values of rudraksha. Earlier in the year 1864, Dr. Abraham Jajuar recorded that Rudraksha could be used in mind related diseases and for removing stress.

Due to the difference in output signal frequencies, the Rudraksha of various Mukhis are suggested to produce different bioeffects. Frequencies 0-5 Hz affect the sympathetic nerves, 0-10Hz affect the outstripped muscle, 10-15 Hz affect the motor nerves, 90-110Hz affect the sensory nerves and 100-150 Hz affect the parasympathetic nerves. Thus various uses of Rudraksha seem to cause bioeffects mediated through the stimulatory action on the nervous system.

Dr. Gode a research scientist proved in the year 1983 that Rudraksha has sterol and polyphenolic compounds. Dr.S.P. Gupta, in the year 1985 had treated patients of high blood pressure by orally giving Rudraksha powder for 10 days. The results were positive and curative powers were proved, with no side effects. 

Rudraksha malas are categorized based on the number of ‘Mukhis’ present on the seed whose number can range from 1 mukhi to 21 mukhis.
