Precaution - Ladies' Period

It has been a traditional theory that ladies are not supposed to wash their hair during their period. But there is no medical evidence as to the question why? The victim will only realise at their later stage of their life, facing the symptoms of breast and ovary cancer. Today ladies still wash their hair during their period with the thinking that they will be safe if they blow dry their hair. But this will not prevent them from getting the cancer.

Apparently a well known Taiwanese medical professor specialising in cancer research based in a Japanese university did a survey on 30,000 cancer patients. She found that these patients are very choosy in their food, wash their hair during their period, carry heavy objects and drink cold drinks. This apparently would cause the incompletion of ovulation and the remaining menses would turn toxic. The resulting imbalance of hormone would lead to ovary and breast cancer. During the research she found a method of prevention to these cancers. The secrets are:-

1. One must change their lifestyle and eating habits.

2. Do not wash our hair while having period.

3. Excessive bleeding must be investigated by a gynae, do not wash your hair just for the cooling effect and contraction of ovary.

4. No cold drinks. If you feel drowsy, breast engorgement and constipated these could be the early symptoms of ovary or breast cancer.

To prevent use:
1. Brown sugar
2. Chinese lotus (lean ngau in Cantonese)
3. Carrot, and
4. Barley

Boil as a soup and drink.

Although not substantiated, I would like to think that there is no harm or cost you much by following this simple piece of advice. Anyway prevention is better than cure.
