It is interesting to note that that the application of sindoor by
married women carries physiological significance too. This is so because
Sindoor is prepared by mixing turmeric-lime and the metal mercury. Due
to its intrinsic properties, mercury, besides controlling blood pressure
also activates sexual drive. This also explains why Sindoor is
prohibited for the widows. For best results, Sindoor should be applied
right upto the pituitary gland where all our feelings are centered.
