About the Vishuddha chakra
Vishuddha, the throat chakra, is read as speech, honesty and expression — the place where what you think becomes what you say.
Both beads here are common and easy to start with. The 4 Mukhi, given to Brahma, is the learning and memory bead and is worn by students and speakers. The 5 Mukhi, given to Kalagni Rudra, is the most widely worn Rudraksha of all and the usual bead for a japa mala.
If you are choosing between them, the 4 Mukhi is the more specific choice for speech and study, and the 5 Mukhi is the general one that suits almost anyone.

Common questions
Which Rudraksha is linked with the Vishuddha chakra?
4 Mukhi and 5 Mukhi. Chakra attributions are recorded differently in different sources, so you may see other beads listed elsewhere.
Which mantra is chanted with these beads?
Each bead has its own beej mantra. 4 Mukhi: Om Hreem Namah; 5 Mukhi: Om Hreem Namah. It is traditionally chanted when the bead is first worn.
These are traditional associations recorded in Vedic and Puranic sources. They are described here as tradition, not as medical or therapeutic claims, and no bead is a substitute for medical care.
