Red Coral, known as Moonga in Hindi, is a revered gemstone linked to Mars (Mangal Graha)—the planet symbolizing energy, action, and strength. This vibrant stone is known for supporting those who need bravery, fearlessness, initiative, and leadership—especially when Mars is debilitated or malefic in the horoscope.
Coral is not a mineral but an organic gemstone, formed from marine organisms. It contains Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃), which has been traditionally used in Ayurveda for over 5,000 years in forms like Praval Pishti to support sexual health, digestion, immunity, and oxygenation of the body.
“Wing Commander Dr. Santosh Sharmaa shares that Red Coral can be especially helpful for those experiencing low motivation, lack of physical energy, or Mars-related doshas such as Manglik Dosh or Angarak Yog.”
In spiritual practices, Red Coral is associated with the Mooladhara (Root) Chakra, which governs stability, physical strength, and the fight-or-flight response. Wearing Moonga can help ground scattered energy, especially in individuals with excessive restlessness or fear.
