By Taq Kaur Bhandal @imwithperiods. Hi & Sat Sri Akal friend, dost, mitar, bhanji, bhaji, and bhxjis. Thanks for taking the time to read this short article about some of the South Asian religions and mxnstrual health! I’m on a journey to support self-care for women and all genders, especially when it comes to our periods and mxnstrual cycles. In doing research for my new book Self-Care Down There, I learned some really uplifting ideas about mxnstruation in South Asia that I just have to share with you.
