Meaning of Rosewood

Rose wood malas have been used by millions of Buddhist practitioners for countless years, and some have even forgotten the wondrous uses of this amazingly utilitarian material.

This plentiful material is harvested from India and can be used in various fields of interest, such as engineering and medicine not just for spiritual growth.

Rosewood is often used in furniture, but could also be used in remedies to heal blemishes, rashes and even indigestion.

No wonder with so many healing properties Buddhists use wood malas during meditation. The simplicity of the mala reduces distraction and allows one to focus on their mantras, and the wood naturally calms the nerves.
