Comments on: Why a Namaste is “healthier” than a Handshake http://satyameva-jayate.org/2008/05/02/namaste-handshake/ Dedicated to "Bharat" and "Dharma" Wed, 23 May 2012 07:41:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Indian http://satyameva-jayate.org/2008/05/02/namaste-handshake/comment-page-1/#comment-15162 Indian Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:08:26 +0000 http://hindudharma.wordpress.com/?p=580#comment-15162 I think Namaste is good option than hand-shaking. Though hand washing is very important after coming home from outside and before every meal. Too much washing of hand with soap and hand sanitizer is also not good. It takes away moistures from skin. I have seen early wrinkles on fingers and skin around the palm at very early age of the person.--again this is the beauty issue all may not find it useful. I agree Indians has strong immune system.
