It’s amusing, how in an era without computers, scanners, and x-rays, people knew so much about our body’s and the elements that would affect our body in some way or the other.

According to scientific principles, silver reacts well with the Earth’s energy, while gold reacts well with the body’s energy and aura. Therefore, silver is worn as anklets or toe rings while gold is used to adorn the upper parts of the body.
3. Wearing bangles
Apparently constant friction between the bangles increases the blood circulation level. Furthermore, the electricity passing out through the skin is again reverted to one’s own body because of the round-shaped bangles, which help retain ones’ own energy.

Applying the red vermilion also activates the chakras in the forehead and on the crown, which attracts cosmic and pranic energy. Sindoor is prepared using mercury, turmeric, and lime. Mercury acts as a catalyst that helps ease stress while keeping the brain active and alert. Mercury also helps in controlling blood pressure, activating sexual drive and libidinal energy.
