Cultural Significance of Menstrual Practices in Maharashtra's Tribes
In Maharashtra's tribal communities, menstrual health is not just a personal matter but a culturally significant event. During menstruation, women often retreat to quiet, peaceful spaces where they can rest and recuperate with herbal treatments. Plants such as "Basil" (Tulsi) and "Saffron" are incorporated into remedies that soothe menstrual pain. These practices reflect the importance of rest and self-care, reinforcing the idea that menstrual health is intertwined with emotional and spiritual well-being, thus offering a holistic approach to women’s health.
