Used in the East for many centuries for improving many different areas of life, these large Rudraksha seeds have tremendous transformative and healing properties. Some are said to enhance mental power and improve physical strength and well-being, while others are said to remove obstacles, assist in healing diseases, and yet others bring wealth and prosperity.

Care of Rudrakshas: It is helpful to keep Rudrakshas clean since dust and dirt can settle in their pores. One way to clean them is to soak them in soapy water overnight and then with a new toothbrush scrub the seeds clean. Then, after cleaning them rub them with a little olive oil to make sure the seeds don't dry out. The more traditional method to clean them is to soak them overnight in mustard oil (mustard oil is found in Indian grocery stores). The oil should then be wiped off. This will remove most impurities. However, be careful with your clothes for the next few days as the oil can be a bit messy until it is absorbed. Rudrakshas should be worn on black or red thread or on gold chains. Rudrakshas also have their own individual mantras to empower them; however, if you take them to Amma to be blessed this is the most certain way to insure that they work at their most effective and potent levels. Lastly, if you do not wish to wear the Rudrakshas, you may also worship them which will help cultivate their auspicious qualities in you. Please contact us to order 7-13 facet rudrakshas.
