When I was young, I admired my mom’s feet, especially her silver anklets and toe rings. I wished I could wear them, but she told me that toe rings were for married women only. In India, it’s a tradition for married women to wear silver toe rings. Once I got married, I started wearing silver anklets and toe rings myself. I love the sound of the ghungroos, those tiny metallic balls on anklets. While I’ve worn the same anklet since my wedding, I’ve collected various styles of silver toe rings.
Usually, I buy toe rings from reliable jewelry stores, but this time I decided to try buying a pair online. I found them on a website and fell in love with their modern designs. Beyond looking beautiful, toe rings have health benefits if worn correctly. While visiting the Sun Temple in Modhera, Gujarat, I learned that they aid in good health. The ancient carvings of women wearing toe rings at the temple show that they were more than just a fashion statement.
Traditionally, married women wear toe rings because they are connected to the reproductive system. Toe rings are usually worn on the second toe, which has a nerve that connects to the uterus. Wearing a ring on this toe keeps the uterus healthy and helps regulate blood flow, which can normalize the menstrual cycle. In Ayurveda, toe rings are also beneficial. They help clear blockages in acupressure points, promoting overall health.
Silver toe rings are specifically recommended because silver conducts heat, absorbs energy from the earth and the body, and helps unify the reproductive system. It’s also thought to remove negative energy, aiding in conception by balancing the uterus and menstrual cycle. Astrologically, silver toe rings are good for women too. Silver can enhance the moon’s calming effects on the body, helping to calm the mind and heart. A calm mind leads to better decision-making and productivity.
So, if you’re not already wearing toe rings, consider investing in a beautiful pair. They’re not just a fashion accessory; they also promote good health.
