Rudraksa used in Ayurvedic Medicine

 

Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine makes good use of the gifts from the

Rudraksa Tree to treat many different diseases

 

All kinds of Rudraksa Beads are commonly used

 

It is believed that those who wear Rudraksa do not suffer from high

blood pressure and according to some physicians this fact bears

mention in Ayurvedic Medicine

 

Another treatment for high blood pressure is to place one to three 5

Mukhi Rudraksas in a glass of water before going to sleep at night

and then drinking in the morning on an empty stomach. The treatment

lasts 30 days and the water needs to be in a water glass made of

glass

 

When anyone suffers from small pox or chicken pox the treatment is

to rub the seed or fruit on a clean stone and the paste is given to

the patient to eat

 

This paste is also listed as a preventative treatment for poxes

If a 10 Mukhi Rudraksa Bead is rubbed with milk and its paste eaten

then old cough is cured

 

Six Mukhi Rudraksa is said to give relief from epilepsy and hysteria

boiled in milk and ingested daily for 20 days relief from brain

diseases is expected
