Can you find one thing common in the image depiction above apart from the costume and posture of the dancers? It is their ornaments, right! In many regions of the world people are adorned with ornaments. From head crowns, hair bands, nose and ear studs, necklaces, bangles to waist ornaments and anklets… We have developed virtually every ornament to beautify us. In fact, ornaments are the epitome of your rich cultural heritage and tradition. They are also like status symbols in many societies. Nowadays they have become style statements of the gen-next.

According to some people, ornaments have – apart from their beauty – multitude physiological and psychological positive effects of their own. Let us look into these potential psychophysical positive effects of ornaments:

Physiological Well-being

Metals and alloys have their own distinctive properties. So undoubtedly the ornaments that you wear play a vital role in enriching your body and mind with the essential metallic elements needed for health and well-being. Metals like gold, silver, copper, brass etc. not only give rise to beautiful ornaments when carved, but also form a vibrant platform for physiological and psychological health.

Curative properties

I remember my cousin wearing a magnet necklace as she was suffering from Asthma. We used to make fun of her by seeing that necklace. We thought that how can a necklace of magnets cure Asthma? To our amazement, she got perfectly fine after using that necklace for some time. The therapist made us understand that magnet has the capacity to influence the flow of air, blood and other body fluids ‘n’ mechanisms. She spent years of allopathic treatment, but all in vain. Finally, a magnetic necklace healed her. She is 36 years and she has had no asthma attack till date!

So, in a nutshell… Ornaments have curative properties other than the beauty index. The metals and materials in which ornaments are made have potential positive influence on the mechanisms of our body and mind.

Reflex and alternative therapy

Reflexology states that the veins of your body parts end in your palms and feet. If you suffer from any disease, then therapeutic-stimulation of those reflex points lead to cure or relief from that disease. Ornaments worn on the ears, anklets, neck etc. also have the same healing effects. The ornaments stimulate the veins related to the target organ and aid to faster effectual healing. For example: Bangles on the wrists aid to reproductive health since the veins of reproductive organs are present there.

Self-confidence

Apart from being potential healing agents, ornaments also tend to boost self-confidence to higher levels. They make you look unique and at the same time mark your individuality as elegant and exclusive from others. They also aid in a strong sense of self-esteem, self-efficacy and personality development as well.

Cognitive Development

Do you want to improve your memory, concentration, attention and other important cognitive skills? Then, try to adorn yourself with ornaments like necklace, ear-studs, etc. Due to their curative properties and metallic properties ornaments have great influence on your mind too. Complex cognitive skills are harnessed in the process and so is your psychological fitness.

No need to stack up yourself with loads of ornaments and look weird. Just try trendy and stylish stuff to ornate your body. That will do the rest of the magic!
