Mukta - Natural Pearl and its Ayurvedic Use

The pearl which shines like a star, smooth and clear, light in weight, pleasing, round, and looks like clear water is considered the best. It is said that the goddess Lakshmi will give the person blessings who is wearing them and they enjoy good fortune. 

The Pearl is the gemstone of the Moon. It considered to help overcome obstacles  in life and enhances the power of the Moon. 

According to rasa paddhati 📚there are three types of lustre in the pearls:

1. madhucchaya – like honey
2. sitachaya – like sita/ sugar
3. srikhandachaya – like butter/ cream

The pearl lustre of srikhandachaya (butter/cream) is considered to be of superior quality.

Pearls are used to prepare classical Ayurvedic formulations called bhasma and pishti. Being alkaline in nature it is used in hyperacidic conditions of the stomach. Its chemical compostion is CaCo3 (Calcium Carbonate) so it is a good natural source of Calcium.

Pearl necklaces are good to wear in summer month. They are useful in hormonal imbalance, headaches, migraine, loss of concentration and memory,  insomnia, uterine disorders, infertiliy, heart disesase (Hridroga), eye disease, depression,  and help to deal with stress.

Its Ayurvedic pharmacological and therapeutic properties are

• Rasa (tase) – madhura/ sweet
• Guna (qualities)- sita/ cold, laghu/light, mrdu/ soft
• Virya (potency)- sita/ cold
• Dosha: Pittahara/ pacifies aggravated pitta dosha

We suggest doing some research to find pearls from organisations that are ethically and environmentally friendly.

Wishing you a balanced sunny season ahead
