New Delhi: Did you know that clapping your hands can help generate fresh energy within the body? In Ayurveda, clapping is known as Kar Vadan Kriya. The hands and palms are connected to all organs of the body and represent vital marma (pressure) points, which help reduce various physical problems and disorders. Clapping for just 10 to 15 minutes daily increases overall activity in the body and may provide protection against several serious illnesses.
Ayurveda has used the ancient practice of acupressure for centuries. Through this method, conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes can be regulated, provided the correct marma points are identified. The act of clapping is based on the same principle. Practicing it helps reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels while keeping cholesterol levels under control. It also promotes healthy blood circulation, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
