Why do people wear earrings?
I appreciate this question from the bottom of my heart because if we don’t dig into any tradition or belief, we can never reach the crux or the source of the respective crowd following.
As the question is for earrings, I would limit myself to this only instead of exploring the reasons behind other jewellery pieces that we adorn in our daily routine.
You know our forefathers were granted with more power of mind and so they were able to cure and prevent almost ailments just because they knew the science of the body and so the science of the universe. They knew which body part can be cured by which energy wave in the universe. They knew the herbs and medicines provided by nature to cure human body.
Likewise our ancestors knew that our ears contain nerves of most of the body parts. So piercing particular nerve can cure particular organ of the body. I am not going into the detail of each and every ear part but to tell you the most followed piercing that is ear lobe piercing. Ear lobe piercing is mainly done to prevent any stomach disorders and to keep maintain menstrual cycle in girls.
That was my answer in short but definitely we as Indians or I must say any other youth of the world should give a thought or reasoning to any thing which he or she feels indifferent about or just has the feeling of getting rid of it. It may turn out to be a latest discovery for his or her own self.
