Menstruation is medicinal
Ancient Egyptians believed that a first menstrual flow meant that the girl was becoming attuned to the Great Goddess. They incorporated menstrual blood into their curative and beauty regime. It was believed that menstrual blood diminished the appearance of stretch marks.
It was also used as a tightening and firming formula to cure sagging breasts and thighs as well as used in drugs and ointments for the cure of a variety of ailments.
