What did women do when they came to menstruation in ancient times, and how did they deal with it?

First of all, the first step to solve is the health problem, so there will be a "menstrual belt", will be more frequent to change the clothes, secondly, after the menstrual event, the couple will consciously avoid sexual intercourse, and finally, will pay attention to rest, to avoid heavy labor and the like.

In ancient times, paper was in short supply, and large families might choose to use silk, while ordinary people could only choose to use rough straw to get through menstruation.

In the earliest days, women would simply clean with leaves, hay, bark and other items from the local materials. Later, with a certain amount of technology, they put absorbent materials such as plant ash or silk linen into small strips of cloth, and tied the two ends with strings around their waists to make menstrual belts.

On those days of the month in ancient times, they had their own unique secret device, that is, the "menstrual cloth", which women in ancient times wore during menstruation to spend these days. The reason why this thing is a unique secret weapon is because they are never sold to the outside world, and you can't find it on the market, so you can only rely on word of mouth, that is, the daughter watches the process of making the menstrual cloth of her mother, and when her menstrual period comes, she can make it to deal with it, this method is limited to mother-daughter transmission, and female not male transmission. In particular, the following points should be paid attention to during menstruation:

1.Keep warm.

These days, you must pay attention to keeping warm, especially when the weather is cold, remember not to get cold, rain and snow weather is even more important, if there is a black lump when you come to the "big aunt", it means that you may be inadvertently cold, pay attention to warmth and recuperation. Bed rest is possible. When the "big aunt" arrived, she had unbearable abdominal pain, so she had to rest in bed, and putting a warm water bag in her lower abdomen would significantly relieve the abdominal pain.

2. Drink brown sugar water.

Brown sugar is a hot food, which can not only replenish the blood lost in the body, but also warm your body well, and effectively relieve and relieve the symptoms of stomach pain. You can also eat walnuts, pine nuts and soybeans, soy isoflavones have phytoestrogenic activity, which is structurally similar to estrogen produced in the body, and you can also take Jinchaoan, which contains phytoestrogens in the soybean concentrate and can balance the hormone levels in the body.

3.Do not overexert yourself.

If there is nothing particularly important, try to relax yourself, especially not to overwork, because the body's resistance and immunity are significantly reduced in those days, and overwork may cause other problems, and even cause low back pain or abdominal pain.

4.Pay attention to fasting.

During menstruation, you should be careful not to eat some foods, in addition to cold food, you should also be careful not to eat chocolate, do not drink coffee, tea, cola, etc., these foods will aggravate abdominal pain.

5.Try not to wash your hair.

Try not to wash your hair during menstruation, because water will enter the body through the capillaries of the head, and the hair will not dry immediately after washing your hair, so you will get cold unconsciously, and it is not advisable to relieve abdominal pain.

Generally, the treatment of menstruation is to choose a small strip of cloth wrapped in plant ash, and then tie the two ends of the thin thread around the waist, which is called a sanitary belt.

In ancient times, women replaced the sanitary belt by pouring out the dirt, and then cleaning the sanitary belt, using it in the air, and in case of emergency, they would choose to dry it with fire, and later, papermaking was invented, and the sanitary belt was replaced with white paper with grass and wood ash, which was relatively more hygienic.

The origin of "Great Aunt".

The saying about "big aunt" has a long history, for example, in the Han Dynasty, a woman lived with her big aunt when both parents died.

And after this woman grows up, she often dates her boyfriend at her aunt's house, but the aunt always affects their mood on a date, so whenever this woman hears footsteps, she will shout "Aunt Grandma" is coming.

And when this woman later had sex with her boyfriend, because of menstruation, she was embarrassed to tell her husband directly that her menstruation was coming, so she said "auntie" came, and her husband knew it in his heart. Since then, menstruation has been called another name, that is, "big aunt".
