1. First, tap water is sufficient for soaking Rudraksha seeds. Tap water is basically weakly acidic water, which can already meet the needs of soaking Rudraksha seeds. There is no need to switch to expensive mineral water or natural purified water for the so-called pursuit of quality. For example, weakly alkaline mineral water is not suitable for soaking Rudraksha, and it will virtually increase the difficulty of handicap playing.

2. Secondly, Rudraksha seeds basically don’t need much oil. The ruddy reaction is caused by the reaction between sweat and the inside of Rudraksha, which causes the color change of Rudraksha. The composition of sweat: the PH value shows a weak acidity of 4.2-7.5, of which 98%-99% is water, salt and a small amount of lactic acid, fatty acids, etc. Even without too much oil, just sweating can cause this reaction. Rudraksha contains a certain amount of anthocyanin, which is a water-soluble pigment that changes color in response to the acidity and alkali of the cell fluid. If the cell fluid is acidic, it will appear red; if the cell fluid is alkaline, it will appear blue. Anthocyanins are one of the pigments that contribute to the color of fruits. Therefore, Rudraksha seeds are weakly alkaline blue before being shelled, and they will start to turn red after playing with them.

3. Rudraksha seeds contain anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that can bind to human body proteins to prevent excessive oxidation. The reddening that occurs at this time will affect the progress of our subsequent patina, causing false redness in the early stages of playing Rudraksha. At this time, the first thing to do is to pick up a brush and apply hard on this layer of patina. Brush it off, because this layer of pulp will not only not accelerate the reddening of Rudraksha seeds, but will block the further reddening of Rudraksha seeds.
