Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA) Rudraksha is a Supreme Holistic Herbal Medicine. Rudrakshas’ mother land or birthplace is mountains of Himalayas, more so in Nepal. Rudrakshas are considered to be sacred and have many spiritual and medicinal values both as preventive and curative. Rudraksha is the King of Herbal medicine working effectively and positively on mental faculty and also correcting the physical conditions along with planetary positions both as preventive and as curative by using internally and externally aiming for PERFECT HEALTH of body, mind and spirit. We have taken up this project under Indian Medicine Academy and developed it is “RUDRAKSHA THERAPY”.
As now we have realized that the more indiscriminately we use the Allopathic Drugs, the worst the disturbance of the vital force and the human body’s natural mechanism – the resistance power of the body is gradually reduced. The mode of action of Rudraksha Therapy is covered by basic principles of Ayurveda and it also fulfils the ideals of gentle harmless and quick restoration of health basing on comprehensive principles. Persons of any age, sex and profession can take this therapy being purely herbal and most tolerable by Natural human body, and it has no side effects, after effects or reactions. Hence there is rapid growth in the usage and wearing of Rudraksha by more and more people in this Computer age in India and in various other parts of the world. It is mainly due to the positive results gained by Rudraksha’s wearing and internal usage for perfect health.
Rudraksha Therapy has been found useful broadly in the treatment of High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol content in the blood, thus keeps the Heart ailments away, various allergies, neurological diseases, early stage of Asthma, Diabetes, Cancer, many other circulatory and mental ailments, both as preventive and as curative. In chronic cases of lung sufferings with many complications, which could not be successfully treated by any other medical systems, Rudraksha mixed with various Ayurvedic herbs given internally, not only improves its effectiveness but also cuts short the treatment period, leading to speedy and early recovery. The treatment is given depending upon the patient’s condition, seriousness of the disease with any other complications with multiple occupational & domestic serious problems.
When the Japam is being performed with Rudraksha Mala keeping the beads little pressed and pushed, a type of acupressure is being done on the Accupressure points in the Thumb and Middle finger. This improves the blood circulation at eyes, mental nerves, pituitary and pineal and it prevents the cold and Asthma.
The latest research result is on wearing Rudraksha Necklace or Rudraksha Mala in helping to radiate out the accumulated static electricity growing due to internal bioelectrical current flow and radiating out the accumulated charge in outer space thereby allowing the free circulation and the uniform distribution to all the parts of human body. People of all castes, communities, can wear Rudraksha Ladies can also wear them. Ladies should not wear Rudraksha during the menstrual period and during the intercourse time at all. It is found that for the purpose of medicinal use and worshipping the bigger the Rudraksha is the best one. Smaller or medium size Rudraksha is most effective for wearing and Japam. Rudraksha can be worn on wrists, forearms, neck, chest, head and forehead in rings, on ear lobes, on stomach and also as Yagnopavitham, as per the expert’s advice and one’s need. Tulsi Mala will give psychic powers called siddhis, while the Rudraksha Mala will give Riddhi psychic powers and prosperity. To get complete benefit Rudraksha Mala can be made of 108, 54, 36, 27 or 18 beads. One should use those Rudraksha only which are nice, handsome, strong, auspicious and well thorny and clearly grooved faces and having natural central self-holed Rudrakshas are the best ones. Rudraksha wearer gets different types of benefits upon the Rudraksha’s faces.

On the basis of pharmacological experiments made by Indian and Foreign experts it is proved that Rudrakshas are beneficial in the treatment of Neurological diseases and various mental disorders. Rudraksha works as Central Nervous System Depressant, Anticonvulsant, Cardiac Stimulant and smooth muscle relaxant. Hypotensive and Hypoglycemic. Rudraksha showed the following biological activity.

As regards its effects, cardiac patients found to get 85% relief, followed by 71% relief of mental trouble sand 50% in spiritual group. These findings clearly indicate that Rudraksha has more therapeutic values as compared to spiritual values.
According to Ayurveda Shastra, Rudraksha contains more natural Vitamin “C” (Amla) which increases the body resistance power against any disease. Rudraksha is hot in nature, hence it helps in proper blood circulation, equal distribution of energy to all the parts of human body and melts out the excess quantity of cholesterol in the blood and thus keeps the heart ailments away. It is vatagna, hence Rudraksha plays a vital role in treating chest pain and in early stage of Rheumatic pains and will not allow any further complications to grow in Rheumatic cases and also works for mental alertness and makes man feel mentally and spiritually hale and healthy. Rudraksha is also Kaphanashak, hence it has curative effect on early stage of Asthma, various allergies, rhinitis, obesity, unwanted over swelling etc. It is also having characteristic of “Shirothi Shamanam” which means having curative qualities of head diseases which includes mainly mental diseases, eyes, nose, ears, throat ailments. It is Ruchyam, which means, it is used, to cure stomach especially, indigestion, gases, tastelessness of tongue etc. Bhutarah Vinashanam hence cures the various mental diseases, bad effects of evil spirits and planetary afflictions.
