Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) is an active component of Adolescent health initiative of the Rashtriya Kishori Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK) of the National Health Mission (NHM) of all the 18 Empowered Action Group states where NHM is operational since the introduction of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in 2005 (GoI, 2014). MHM is defined as ‘women & adolescent girls are using clean menstrual management materials to absorb or collect blood that can be changed in privacy as often as necessary for the duration of the menstrual period, using soap & water for washing the body as required & having access to facilities to dispose of used menstrual management materials (WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2012). Globally, at least 500 million women & girls lack proper access to menstrual hygiene facilities. Several factors influence difficult experiences with menstruation, including inadequate facilities & materials, menstrual pain, fear of disclosure & inadequate knowledge about the menstrual cycle (World Bank, 2018). The global MHM day started in 2014 when the German based NGO WASH united co-ordinated the menstrual hygiene day as the overall global co-ordinator. The global day was decided to be the 28th of May every year as the menstrual cycle is of 28-day duration & usually lasts for 5 days. That’s how it is 28th day of the 5th month of every year (Wikipedia, 2014). Similarly, on these lines, the RKSK program was also launched in India in the year 2014 (GoI, 2014). The objective of the current study is to see the relevance of Homoeopathy in the area of MHM & whether the symptoms collected on MHM about 200 years ago will be still relevant in the current era of using disposable sanitary pads by menstruators.
