The Ancient Science behind the Toe Ring:
This toe ring is worn in pairs in the second toe of both feet and are usually made of silver metal.
According to Ayurveda, the nerve on the second toe of the feet is connected directly to the uterus of the woman. So, a slight pressure (due to the toe ring) is known to regulate the menstrual cycle. It is also known to ensure a healthy uterus.
Traditionally, a married woman wears this ring on her second toe of the feet while the unmarried women wear it on the third toe. It is said that wearing a silver toe ring in the third toe by unmarried women helps them get rid or atleast ease the period pain.
It is also said that toe rings may result in acupressure benefits as well. This is because they press some nerves in the feet which are known to help the reproductive system of the woman.
This toe rings are made up of silver.It is a common knowledge that silver is a good conductor, hence it absorbs the energy from the earth and passes it to the body, thus nourishing the human body.
Usually women wearing gold ornaments in the upper part of the body and silver ornaments in the lower part of the body.
GOLD - Reacts well with body’s aura
SILVER - Reacts well with earth’s energy
Hence gold is used to adorn the upper part of body (Bangles,ear rings , mangalsutra)
whereas silver is worn on lower part of body ( anklets, toe rings)
