Question: Please tell us about the basics of Rudraksha and its benefits when used as remedies?

Ans: We all know Rudraksha is all natural and it’s the seed of Rudraksha tree. It is mainly found in South-east Asia. Astrologically speaking, it takes care of the seven main chakras of the human body. Not only that, but it also helps to nullify the malefic nature of planets. Its spiritual name is "Tears of Shiva" as "Rudra" means Lord Shiva and "Aksha" means tears.
Primarily there are 21 types of rudraksha based on the number of "mukh" present in the seed.

Some facts about Rudraksha:

The number of beads in any rudraksha mala is 108 plus 1, the one bead is called ‘Bindu’. Any adult individual can wear a mala of 108 beads, not less than it.
The smaller rudraksha is rare to find, so it is pricier than others. But all the panchmukhi rudraksha have the same characteristics and features.
One of the vital things about rudraksha is you cannot share your own rudraksha with another one until the wearer adapts it.
If someone decides to avoid the rudraksha for a long span of time, then it should be kept in silk cloth, preferably in a puja room.
The shadowy (hypothetical) planets Rahu (the north node of the Moon) and Ketu (the south node of the Moon) control no sign of the zodiac, but Rahu has authority over Virgo and Ketu has authority over Pisces. It is therefore beneficial for these zodiac sign individuals to consume Rudraksha (8 Mukhi for Rahu & 9 Mukhi for Ketu).
