Clapping therapy

One should apply coconut, mustard oil or a mix of both oils on the palms so that it will be absorbed by the body. Wear socks and leather shoes to prevent any leaking of the energy waves generated in the body. Strike both hands against each other, right to left, keeping them straight facing each other and the arms a little loose. Fingertips and the palm of each hand should strike each other. This therapy is advisable in morning hours to get maximum results.

Clapping for 20 to 30 minutes in the morning keeps you fit and active. As mentioned clapping stimulates blood circulation, this blood circulation removes all obstructions in the veins and arteries, including bad cholesterol suggests Dr Dogra.
