The ancient Egyptian knew the menstrual cycle of girls and women, and he knew it in the most accurate details possible before microscopes were invented, meaning that he considered them a punishment from the gods and did not consider them a disease .. but it is a natural thing that happens monthly for a period of any female life.

It was characterized by the Egyptian “Hasman”. The interesting thing is that the same word means (with a different assignment) “purity and purity” .. Purity is related to the salt of natron (which is called by his consent Basman and its pure meaning) which was considered the most ritual and religious material on earth (and even now scientific) Salt is generally considered a disincentive to mould growth … preservative).

One of the interesting needs of his trauma is that menstrual blood itself was sometimes considered a treatment for some minor illnesses, such as in the Edwin Smith papyrus; for example, in fact, it was used more in cosmetology to tighten the skin in the chest area specifically and thighs (ah .. # hormonal surgery appeared in Egypt).

The menstrual period was not considered an “unclean” period in all Egyptian temples, in which there was a variation in ritual dealing from one god to another.
