Here Is Why You Should Not Wear a Bracelet on Your Left Hand

Everyone wants to look presentable these days. Why not? There is no harm in adorning your outfit and overall appearance with a simple piece of jewellery like a bracelet. Nowadays, many bracelets are available for both men and women to spruce up their day-to-day outfits.

From simple gold or diamond bracelets to charm and zodiac bracelets for women, there are many options to adorn your wrist while complementing your jewellery with your regular outfits. A bracelet looks elegant sitting on the wrist while waving a hand or doing different activities throughout the day. Moreover, it doesn’t even bother you no matter what work you do throughout the day.

But has someone ever told you not to wear a bracelet in your left hand? Many people around the world believe that wearing a bracelet in the left hand is not good. If you are wondering why here are some reasons to support this belief:

Shenmen Acupoint

According to Chinese medicinal theory, Shenmen acupoint is present in the left wrist, where there is the movement canal of your hand tendons. As per this theory, even if you wear a slimmest bracelet on left hand, it will put a burden on your wrist and it could strain your tendons and ligaments in the wrist, as well as strain your tendons and muscular atrophy. In serious cases, it may cause “carpal tunnel syndrome” (CTS). Maybe that is the reason why it is considered not to wear a bracelet in your left hand.

In modern age people, the Shenmen acupoint is subjected to perennial compression when typing on a keyboard with the left hand for a long duration. This will result in multiple syndromes like cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation or more. On the contrary, when the multiple neurons are disturbed in our right wrist due to the bracelet’s pressure or friction, it causes a massaging action that further relieves physical fatigue.

Men Left-Handed and Woman Right-Handed:

Another belief supporting why it’s not good to wear a bracelet in the left hand is due to a principle that insists “men - left hand and woman right hand” when it comes to wearing a watch or bracelet.

Throughout ages, our ancestors have followed this principle, which reflects certain deep truths as per different genders’ anatomy. So, if you are a female, no matter you wear a charm bracelet or buying a zodiac bracelet for women, it is advised not to wear anything on your left wrist.
