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.
Priestesses and witches in ancient times revered menstrual blood. They prepared and drank potions containing their menstrual blood in order to enhance their magical powers. They also mixed the blood with semen, a potion known as “drink of immortality” for warriors, so that they were unbeatable on the battlefield. It is important to note that practices of this nature are not to be taken lightly as they may have dire moral, legal and spiritual consequences.
