Bangles are an integral part of sanatana Dharma

The sanskrit word kankan means ornaments that adorn the arms & from this comes the word "kangan" meaning Bangle. Now, let us see why bangles aren't just adornments but has a much deeper significance

Enhances blood circulation-According to siddha, a traditional system of medicine

the pulse (naadi) which is felt at the wrist area is used to diagnose several major ailments

The constant friction between the Bangles & the wrist area ensures good blood circulation & inturn improves physiological functions of the body

Bangles eliminates the subtle Raja-Tama components & leads to increase in sattvik nature of body thereby activating divinity in the woman.

Metal bangles attracts a flow of shakti, devi tattva(goddess principle) & Chaitanya(divine consciousness).

Why bangles not for Men?
According to Ayurveda, the bone density of women are weaker than men.The bangles act as wrist weights, facilitating endurance & bone strengthening. So men are recommended

to use metal wrist bands &/or arm bands due to differences in certain composition of their body & the purpose.

Today, Jewelry market is flooded with many contemporary designs & made of unnatural materials like plastic.This has led to bangles which are low in satvika tattva.

It is recommended to wear bangles made of traditional design & natural material to get maximum spiritual benefits. Hari Om
