Indian facts to Drop Down your Jaw.

Indian facts to Drop Down your Jaw.

Indian culture has always been rich in its traditions but we never understood it. We have always considered them myths. Let’s try and understand few of these myths from a scientific angel.

1. Scrubbing house floor with cow dunk.

        This practice is still followed in some of the villages and believe it or not it’s effective. It is considered that with this practice all the bad effects are gone from the house and the house is protected from all the evil powers. Actually the cow dunk acts as a disinfectant thus protecting the health of all the family members.

2. Eating Curd and Sugar before leaving the house.

        One should always eat curd and sugar before leaving the house for an important work. It brings good luck. Actually in the tropical climate of India Curd is very good to keep your stomach cool and a good quantity of sugar in the curd gives you glucose for instant energy. Thus the mixture of the two is very good for your body.

3. Sweeping floor at Night.

        If you sweep floor at night than it will bring good luck to you. Actually it has two fold meaning. At the time when the myth was created there were no lights. So while sweeping floor at night something important and valuable if dropped on floor could be thrown out of the house and secondly there was no flooring or bed system at that time. So if you would sweep the floor the mud would fall on your bedding ending in an unpleasant sleep at night and not be at your full the next morning.

4.  Cutting Nails at Night.

        If you cut your nails at night it will bring a bad luck on you. Again there was neither light nor a proper tool to cut your nail. Nails were cut with the help of a sharp knife. So while cutting nails at night you could harm yourself and thus the bad luck.

5. Bathe after funeral.

One should always bathe after attending the funeral or the spirit of the departed may come in you. Actually at that time there were no vaccinations for chicken pox or hepatitis so taking a bath after the funeral was a good practice to prevent the infections. 

6. Namaste

Namaste and touching feet is an old Indian tradition to greet someone. When we meet someone our age say Namaste by joining both our hands. By joining both our hands our fingers touches each other creating a pressure at some nerves which regulates the blood flow in our eyes, ears and mind, which again helps us to remember the person for a long time. And when we meet someone elder than us we touch their feet which produces a good vibration from both the people which creates a good relation between the two.

       7. Toe Ring.

It is an old tradition to wear a toe ring in India. A particular nerve from the second finger of the toe connects the uterus and passes to the heart. So by wearing a toe ring regulates the blood flow making the uterus healthy and it also helps in regulating menstrual cycle.

8. Throwing coins in rivers.

This is an old trading to ask for a wish and throwing coins in the river water. Actually when this coin throwing was in practice at that time coins were made of copper and throwing coins in water would make water healthier for us as copper is good for our body. 

9. Bells in temple.

There are some special bells in temple we are supposed to ding while coming in and going out of the temple. These bells help the evil spirit stay out of the temple. Actually these bells when ring produces an echo which further activates all the seven healing centers in out body. This results in emptying our brain from all the negative thoughts.

      10.  Worshiping the peepal tree
