Mudras mean hand-postures. In Mudra Therapy, diseases are treated through specific hand-postures, i.e. simply by holding thumbs and fingers in particular ways for a few minutes everyday.

‘Why do we need Mudra Therapy when effective medical treatments are available?’, you might rightly ask.

Over answer is: Indeed, medicines are useful and effective. They are, really, a boon to mankind. But, they are expensive. They, frequently, produce side-effects. There is, also, the appalling problem of spurious or adulterated medicines. Will it not be more logical to tackle common, minor diseases through some form of treatment which does not necessitate the use of medicines? Mudra Therapy is one such form of treatment.
