According to the Ayurvedic medical system, wearing Rudraksha can have a positive effect on the heart and nerves, and relieve you from stress, anxiety, depression, palpitations and lack of concentration. It is also known for its anti ageing effect, and electromagnetic and inductive properties. People with high blood pressure have been found have benefited from the use of Rudraksha seeds. A wondrous bead, most will swear by its proven qualities as the elixir of life or as the panacea for dreaded ailments. This wonder bead, not only controls the planetary systems of our body but helps in curing disease. Rudrakshas of different mukhis affect different areas of life and one's body, and they must be chosen according to planets in one’s chart and areas that are afflicted in one’s life. Unlike gemstones, they are worn to pacify and cancle effects of negative planets, though there is no harm in wearing rudrakshas for positive planets too. Rudrakshas never have any negative effect. They can be worn in any amount in any combination. The bead of the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus granitrus) holds a very special place in ancient India, and is credited to possess mystical and divine properties. Necklaces made of Rudraksha beads are considered auspicious as well as powerful, and have profound astrological and health benefits. It is believed that one who wears Rudraksha is untouched by sins, and is protected from all impious deeds or thoughts. "Rudraksha" has its etymological origin in the Sanskrit words, ‘Rudra’ and ‘Aksha’. ‘Rudra’ is another name for Lord Shiva, and ‘aksha’ means teardrop. Scriptures say that the Rudraksha plant was born out of Lord Shiva’s tear drops. Ancient scriptures, such as ‘Shiva Purana’, ‘Padma Purana’ and ‘Srimad Bhagavad’ mention the greatness and wonderful powers of the Rudraksha. For thousands of years, they have adorned the bodies of sages and saints, around their necks or on their heads. Rudraksha is the most powerful and awesome bead ever. Rudraksha beads are classified on the basis of the number of “mukhis” – the clefts and furrows – they have on the surface( or say the number of partitions the bead is divided in). Each bead has a different effect on you, depending on the number of mukhis it has. These are vital from the astrological viewpoint, since it is believed that Rudrakshas of different mukhis please different planets. The scriptures speak of 1 to 38 mukhis, but Rudrakshas of 1 to 14 mukhis are commonly found. 15-21 are rare ones. Generally the more mukhis there are, the more scarce the beads are and more costly. Rudraksha beads most grow in Nepal and Indonesia, and are imported to India. Some Northern parts of India also have Rudraksha trees. The aura of Rudraksha - the seed of the fruit of the Rudraksha Tree is wondrous when taken with Kirlian photography.
