Benefits of Hessonite (Gomed)
Hessonite (Gomed) strengthens Rahu, which signifies ambition, foreign links, technology and desire. It helps when Rahu rules good houses in your chart (the Lagna, 5th or 9th) and is weak; if Rahu rules the 6th, 8th or 12th, strengthening it can do harm.
Energise
On the first morning, wash in raw milk and Ganga jal, light a lamp and chant Om Bhraam Bhreem Bhraum Sah Rahave Namah 108 times, then wear it.
