Myth:Not to have head bath or cold water during menses.
Superstitious belief:Is that,it causes death in the long run.
Actual reason:In the earlier times,people used rivers or ponds as a source of common drinking water,bathing and for other house hold work.These sources were public places and bathing during menses would have caused embarrassment for women and uneasiness for others.This was the possible reason for forbidding mensturating women from taking bath or head bath.But now,where people have private bathrooms, the belief of not bathing during menses is totally a misconception.One should bathe everyday and its important to bathe during mensturation to maintain proper cleanliness and hygiene.
