"Menstrual Blood used to be the most Sacred substance on Earth, and now science is discovering its incredible healing powers…"
I'm at Barnes & Noble reading a book called Tantric Kali: Secret Practices and Rituals by Daniel Odier. In the book, it speaks about Kali about how each aspect of her appearance in her depictions symbolize. She has been worshipped for 5,000 years since the Indus Valley civilization.
In the Kaula tradition, woman is the Goddess and menstrual blood is the manifestation of her power. Periods are venerated and menstrual blood is used in many rituals. In the book, it speaks about how yoginis (women) transfer their power to yogis (men) by him kneeling before her and "absorbing" the sun (blood) and moon (sperm) after intercourse.
Anyway, I quickly googled and found its not just in the Kaula tradition but many places where wombs and menstrual blood is spoken of as being power and a symbol of rebirth and ressurrection. And even today, menstrual blood contains stem cells which can be extracted and used for many treatments.
So protect your wombs ladies! You are a powerful goddess and your body is a temple.
