The bodhi seed holds immense significance in Buddhist traditions, particularly within Tibetan Buddhism. These small, often bumpy beads carry the weight of symbolism, reminding practitioners of their own potential for awakening.

Washing and oiling (for wood/seed beads)...
It is best to keep them moisturized with an oil of choice, or by using a pea-sized amount of Mineral Oil occasionally. Rub a small amount in your hand along with an essential oil (optional) and then rub into your mala beads thoroughly. If you live in a dry climate this may need to be done every few months to maintain the beads but otherwise once a year may be sufficient. Over time your natural beads will darken. This is a normal process and is a great visual reminder of the growth in your practice!
If washing is required, we suggest using warm water with a small amount of liquid dish soap. Pat dry and hang.
