To preserve the health and potency of your Rudraksha for a lifetime, our experts recommend:

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Clean beads with plain water regularly to remove dust and impurities.
• If the beads appear whitish or dry, it is a sign that they need oiling. Use a light coat of almond or coconut oil to prevent dehydration.
• Regular oiling helps maintain the hydration of the beads and prevents fungus or insects.
• Avoid leaving beads neglected for long periods; consistent care keeps them healthy.

Energising the Rudraksha

• For a single bead, chant the respective Beej Mantra
• For combinations or malas, chant “Om Namah Shivaya” 11 times (universal mantra for all Rudraksha)
• You may also touch your Rudraksha to a Shivlingam and chant “Om Namah Shivaya” 11 times to infuse energy.
• For further energization, you can keep the beads in a deep freeze once a month overnight, then oil them the next day before wearing.
