The food we eat is digested by Agni or body fire which is present in our body. It is very much similar to the way we cook the food. The Agni or body fire helps to digest the food which is consumed, much like the fire of a stove cooks the food kept on it.

The menstrual cycle is a constant reminder of our connection with nature and can reveal to us both the status of our health and our relationship with ourselves. As society has changed and women’s roles have diversified, the female body has also adapted. Women now experience far more menstrual cycles due to the trend of having later and fewer pregnancies. It was not too long ago that women would fall pregnant soon after their first period and breast feed their babies for as long as two years, which meant that they only had a few cycles between pregnancies.
