However, when used according to Ayurvedic pharmacology its use changes greatly according to the individual who is taking it. This is the major reason why different women get different results from using the same plant. Ayurveda can give directions as to the exact use and effect of a plant in this manner. This same reasoning also applies to dietary programs. It takes very little observation to realize that we are all different types of individuals.
Women are a huge economic force in society.
Women as a group are targeted and manipulated to constantly create a new market niche. Women where bombarded with advertising to believe that they 'needed' this product. From an Ayurvedic point of view these products disrupt the natural balance that exists in the vagina and actually cause imbalances that can give strong odour, vaginal infections, or urinary infections. This is only one of many, many mass marketing projects that not only reduce a woman's personal power, but her health as well. The real point to this reality in today's society is not to become reactionary - rather become intelligent.
