The origin of the Buddhist sandalwood bracelet

Sandalwood is a natural material very popular in Asia, particularly in India. Indeed, this wood was burned during religious rituals and therefore has great meaning for Buddhists and Hindus. A paste made from this material was also used in temples dedicated to Shiva. At the level of the 3rd eye, a trace was made with this embalming paste. Today, this wood with its special and unique smell is used in many cosmetic products and perfumes.

The Buddhist sandalwood bracelet offers many benefits, which is why it is so appreciated by practitioners of Buddhism, meditation or yoga. In particular, it allows:

• Reduce stress
• Improve sleep
• Limit addictions
• Promote relaxation and well-being thanks to its sedative properties

Why is this bracelet made of 108 beads?

In the past, the 108 Mala beads were used by Buddhist monks during their meditation sessions. With each breath cycle, they moved on to the next bead. As soon as they had circled the bracelet, the session was over.

But today, even though they are still used by Buddhist monks, these bracelets have many meanings. Indeed, they can symbolize: the 108 positions of yoga, the 108 movements of Tai Chi or even the 108 Buddhist and Hindu deities.

Ce Buddhist bracelet composed of 108 sandalwood beads is therefore full of history and meaning.
