Accordingly - the accessory should be worn on the left hand, so you can right to implement the plant. This rule applies to right-handers and left-handers.

Important! In the old days to show everyone that you are left-handed, it was embarrassing and even dangerous, because of this, people with this feature also wore a strap with a dial on the left arm.

Despite the fact that most of the modern mechanisms do not require a factory, the tradition of wearing this accessory on the left hand remains relevant. In addition, this approach is justified by the fact that most people have the right hand - active, and the clock on it can interfere with the usual daily activities - eating, working at the computer, writing, and others.

Medicine

If you turn to the ancient Chinese medicine, then there are their own rules as to which hand to wear the watch.

Important! Physicians from Ancient China were convinced that on each wrist there is a biologically active point responsible for the work of the heart.

Men

Despite the fact that there are two such points, in male mice the point on the left is more active. Thus, the clock mechanism gives an energetic push to the heart point and, thanks to this, its work is intensified. If you do not comply with this rule and wear an accessory on your left arm, it will receive an excessive amount of energy, as a result - the rhythm of the heart will begin to stray.

Women

But the women are the opposite. The main heart point in them is located on the right wrist. Therefore, a ticking accessory that energizes a biologically active point should be worn on the left side.

Psychology

Psychologists do not lag behind historians and physicians and put forward their theory as to which hands to wear the watch correctly:

• Firstly, the direction to the left often causes negative associations. Remember even all the famous winged phrases, such as "left earnings", "go left."They all talk about unpleasant things.
• Secondly - the left side is a symbol of the past, the past stage of life.

Important! Having looked around, you may notice that this statement is always used in creating advertisements. For example, on an advertising poster cars always move from left to right, and planes fly from the lower left corner to the upper right. And in general, look at how you read this article - from left to right.
