"Many people come to me and ask why their Bodhi Mala looks dry. That's completely normal – Bodhi seeds are a natural material and appreciate a little care."
Video: How I care for a Bodhi Mala
In this short video, I show you my Bodhi Mala and explain why gentle care is important.
Why Bodhi beads can dry out
Bodhi Malas are made from natural seeds. Over time, the beads may appear a little drier or duller – this is completely normal.
How to care for your Bodhi Mala properly
- Use only a small drop of natural oil.
- Remove excess oil with a soft cloth.
- Store the Mala as dry as possible.
- Wear it regularly – this creates a beautiful patina.
A natural patina develops over time
Through daily wear, the beads become smoother and develop their warm luster. Each Mala tells its own story.
