Science behind cultural “why”s - Part 1

dear chitra mam

thanks a ton for your detailed information. it is really helpful. Even i used to feel, lot of customs which we follow do have scientific reasons, only our elders some time may not able to explain.

Likewise, in olden days, womens having periods are said to sit separately, not becoz they are unpurified or so but "IT gives a rest for the women, who otherwise used to do endless chores from morning till end, for the big families,like churning milk, making food, grinding etc etc.." Also during that time due to loss of blood, fatigue sets in if they indulge in hard works.

keep writing.

P.S. sometime back i read that you wont be writing much. but now i am happy,t hat you have started writing again.

 

Hi Chitramam,

Bye.

 

thanks a lot ma'am for posting the scientific truth behind this,
as i was not knowing so much.....but i am doing these all things since childhood when my mother taught me,and i have taught my daughter also.
thanks again.

 

Dear Chithra,
thanks a lot for this thread. These days, people follow many 'customs' without knowing the real reason behind this. But sadly, majority of these are superstitions developed all these years. I am happy that at least the ILiites would know the real reason behind the well meaning customs and traditions and will shun superstitions. I thank you again for the effort you take to share so many things with us.

 

i have been following all the steps mentioned by you for long years which i learnt from my MIL ...happy to know the scientific reason behind it...thanks chitrama...
