Palm rubbing is a very common practice that we were taught whether we exercised, did yoga, or felt cold. This practice traces its origins to ancient times, involving the continuous rubbing of palms together until heat is generated.  You will be surprised to learn about the benefits. Palm rubbing has endless benefits for your body and mind. When applied to the eyes, face, and body, palm rubbing balances and energizes your nervous system, encouraging a peaceful mind and lowering stress and anxiety, according to The Free Press Journal.

Your body organs are connected to your palm, and massaging your hands provides warmth and energy to those points and will improve blood flow in the body. Yoga teachers utilize the palm-rubbing technique after rigorous activities because it helps the body relax. The warmth from rubbing hands stimulates a psychological desire to recover, making it an important step in self-care.

According to ancient Vedic rituals, rubbing hands upon rising and placing them on your face after a morning prayer encourages knowledge, wealth, and protection, as well as bringing good intentions and positivity throughout the day.
