Pals, Check if this is really true !!!

your remarks are most welcome

Ladies Period Caution :

It has been a traditional theory that ladies are not suppose to wash
their hair during their period.

But there are no solutions to the question why?

The victim will only realize at their later stage of their life, facing
the symptoms of breast and ovary cancer.

Today ladies still wash their hair during their period with the thinking
that they will be safe if they blow dry their hair. But this will not
prevent them from getting the cancer. Please read the article below:

A well known Taiwanese medical professor specialize in cancer research
based in a Japanese university did a survey on 30,000 pre cancer
patients.

She found these patients are very choosy in their food, wash their hair
during their period and carry heavy object and drink cold drinks. This
will course the incomplete of ovulation and the remaining menses will
turn into toxic and the imbalance of hormone will lead to ovary and
breast cancer.

During the research she found the method of prevention to these cancer.

The secrets are;

1. One must change their lifestyle and eating habits.

2. Do not wash our hair while having period, do not wash your hair just
for the cooling effect and contraction of ovary.

3 Excessive bleeding must be investigated by a gynae.

4. No cold drinks.

If you feel drowsy, breast expansion and constipation

these are the early symptom of ovary or breast cancer.

To prevent, use:

1. Black sugar

2. Chinese lotus (leng ngau)

3. Carrot and

4. Barley

Boil to soup and drink. This is the best prevention.

I don't think this info. is true at all. Right from puberty till I left my parents home after marriage, we've been having headbath at least thrice during the 5-6 day period . Firstly as soon as it appears, on the 4th. day morn. & on the 5th. day morning too [ called anna theetu ] !! All ladies [ aunts, mannis, maamis, chithis & perimmas] followed the rules as we were very orthodox clan ... till date not one has suffered any sort of cancer/ any serious disease etc. Forget hot water, even in 'maargazhi' it was tap water only, poured thro'a 'seive', jalladai ;;; for what purpose, even they don't know. All my rebelling couldn't stop this ridiculous process . :evil:

Imagine summer in India without cooling nannari & watermelon or ice 'more' -------- more so during those uncomfortable days,when chill Limca or Fruitnik mango,with chilli podi mangai,was preferred over a plate heaped with rice for lunch !

I think this is also just another myth !

Bye,
Dew.

Dear friends,

Each time I get my menstrual my stomach gets bloated. From the doctor's point of view.. its norm.

Are you all feelling the same too? Is there any medication for this?

hi ramya

i never heard this, there is relation between washing hair and periods

by reading this, we don't know whether its correct or not, but i think its better to follow some traditions, no harm with those traditions for us, may be useful or not.

Hi ILs,

I've never heard of not washing hair during menses. Infact, I was told by my family to wash my hair no matter what on the first and the last day of my periods. The article doesn't prove that washing one's hair would result in cancer. Yes ofcourse, healthy eating habits is necessary.

Bloating is common, you can try soaking Methi/Vendiyam in water overnight and have it in the morning. It helps to an extent.
