can the rudraksha be worn at all times?

Rudraksha beads are traditionally used as devotional and meditation beads. They are usually strung as malas with 108 beads plus one, used for counting repetitions of mantras or prayers. People may select beads based on personal preference, cultural tradition, or type of Rudraksha.

Rudraksha is traditionally believed to work best when the wearer maintains positive habits and personal discipline.

Traditional guidance:
- Remove the mala before bathing; wear it after cleaning.
- Avoid environments with negative energy, such as unclean or chaotic places.
- Do not combine Rudraksha with other spiritual beads like Tulsi mala, as traditional texts suggest they have different spiritual associations.

Traditionally, there are certain situations where wearing Rudraksha is discouraged:
- Visiting places associated with mourning or high emotional intensity (like memorials or cemeteries)
- During certain activities involving intimacy (as per traditional beliefs)
- Handling strong odors like onion or garlic, according to spiritual guidance

Note: These are traditional practices and spiritual beliefs. They are not medical claims.
