Science behind the tradition of wearing glass bangles by Indian women
India stands unique because of the culture and the traditions that is proposed by our ancestors which has got scientific reasons for the wellbeing of mankind and most of such practices are followed though without knowing its reason. In this blog I will be focusing on the science behind one such practice of wearing glass bangles by Indian women.
In ancient days men used to go and work in farms and forests which involves lot of muscle work. Though compared to men's work its kind of small work that women has to . By sitting at home and not doing much physical work there is a chance of blood pressure getting increased, which results in developing impatience. In order to avoid such impatience problem from occurring, women were asked to wear bangles. Besides this there are five scientific reasons
Blood circulation and energy:
Normally the wrist portion is in constant activation on any human. Also, the pulse beat in this portion is mostly checked for all sorts of ailments. The bangles used by women's are normally in the wrist part of ones arm and its constant friction increases the blood circulation level. And, the electricity passing out through the outer skin is again revered to ones own body because of the ring shape if the bangles which have no ends to pass the energy outside but to send it back to the body.
The foetus craves acoustic stimuli:
Bangles are gifted to women during the baby shower because the tinkle of the bangles viricides acoustic stimuli for the baby. Studies have shown that cheerfully or calming music reduces a pregnant woman's stress and depression and helps the foetus develop the ability to hear. A pregnant women who is stressed out is more likely to give birth to a preterm or underweight baby gynaecologist say.
Emotional balance:
A research made on ladies wearing glass bangles and those wearing bangles made of other synthetic materials had revealed that glass bangles vibrated and are pacifiers moderators if string emotions. Those wearing non- glass bangles were found to be restivevabd excessively emotional to given situations and stimulus, in the experiments conducted.
Positivity:
Glass bangles were found to absorb the goodness and purity from the atmosphere and the elements prevailing in the natural environs around and radiate them on the wearer. Also, glass bangles repulsed the bad vibes in the surroundings and protected the body of the wearer from evil agents in the atmosphere.
The essence of colours:
Two colours of bangles are recommended red and green. Those from south, like Maharashtra and Karnataka, wear green coloured glass bangles. And women from the north like UP and Punjab, wear red ones. Green has a divine quality of a being peaceful and vibrant while red has the power to destroy evil. Bangles which have gold coloured work on them are not as effective and they do not pass on the benefit that plain coloured glass bangles do.
Even men do wear kada of some metals which does the same work and hence bangles are not just fashion it is science!
