If we consider the world we live in and the pace of life we go through each day is no wonder we constantly suffer from aches and pains in both our body and mind. 


Aside the traditional medicine, pills, painkillers or similar medications, people very often rely on yoga, meditation or acupuncture. These are all fine and useful methods put there’s another more simple method that many Westerners haven’t even heard of. 

We’re talking about Mudra Hand Gestures, a method which originates from India. The method stimulates various parts of the body and mind while relieving different kinds of pain and ache. 

The method consists of eight basic hand gestures. Perhaps you’re a skeptic now, but once you see how powerful the gestures are you’ll use them regularly. 

Try them and let us know what you think.
