Rudraksha beads are said to bring a variety of benefits to those who wear them and use them as they meditate. These benefits are even backed by science. Rudraksha seeds have natural electro-magnetic properties, which encourages the prana or energy to flow freely in our bodies’ energy channels and chakras. They are believed to improve blood flow, calm your heart, and prevent high blood pressure, heart attacks and otherwise eliminate bodily toxins.
 
Rudraksha are commonly strung into a mala for wearing. This is similar to other religions that use strings of prayer beads, such as a rosary in the Catholic religion.
