Rudraksha and Its Powder

The full Rudraksha fruit, crushed into powder, is particularly effective in controlling blood pressure. Wearing a Rudraksha mala close to the heart helps regulate blood pressure, preventing sudden heart attacks, heart shrinkage, or brain hemorrhage. For blood pressure management, place a five-faced Rudraksha in water overnight and drink it in the morning for normal blood pressure levels. For children prone to fever, wearing a three-faced Rudraksha is beneficial.
