No we shall write reasons y ladies don't bald.

They r very tender; waste products exit via menstrual secretion.

They don't indulge in exercise. (unlike today)

Ergo they suffer not from baldness.

Exercise avoidance alleviates vAyu & pitta.

From menses their body becomes clean.

Ergo they don't bald.

ps - Perhaps those who do do so due to imitating men.

According to Aupadhenava tantra & CikitsA sAra sangrha:

Rakta looks different from rasa.

How former is produced from latter in body?

THere is no color in rasa.

Rakta is liquid in nature.Hos is mAMsa, solid in nature, produced from this rakta?

How is medas, liquid in nature, produced from solid mAMsa?

How is medas, liquid in nature, produced from solid mAMsa?

Asthi is rough natured. How is it produced from mAMsa & medas, both smooth-natured?

How is majjA, unctuous & soft, produced within rough bone?

tahA'sthi madhya majjnaz ca, zukraM bhavati dehinAm ||59||

[caraka : cikitsA 15:22-26]

'tis stated zukra's produced by majjA's transformation.

According to scholars, zukra pervades entire body whereas majjA is located only within bone.

Then how is it possible zukra comes from majjA?

(guruH provAca uttaram) inserted/continued

Thereafter, preceptor replied:

"Unpolluted Ap-dhAtu (liquid elements) of living creatures get(s) metabolised by body's unafflicted tejas (enzymes) as result of which rakta is produced."

Difference betwixt Rasa & Rakta d'accord Suzruta

Ladies' menstrual blood comes from rasa.

Blood exiting during menstruation is called rajas.

If u lose blood, u lose memory, no?

SNL '80s Parody to Family Feud or some similar game show:

To every question Jim Belushi asked _____ Jackson (blond woman) she replied "I don't know!"

After a few times Belushi began to yell at her. At last he began strangling her.

"arttavaM zoNitam agneyaM, zukraM saumyam iti kRtvA agni agniSomIyo garbho bhavati|

tasmAd artavasyAgneya tvam uktam, tat tasyApi kathaM nAgneya tvaM bhavati|

tayoH svabhAva bhedAt ||65||

Both rakta (ordinary blood) & Arttava (mentrual blood) r produced from rasa which is saumya in nature.

Even then they differ.

Arttava zoNita (menstrual blood including ovum) is agneya (warm) while zukra (semen including sperm) is saumya (cool).

Embryo forms by their combination, ergo its nature is agniSomIya (both warm & cool).

Their natures do differ.

zoNitaM guru visraM syAd, vidAhazcAsya pittavad ||67||

Rakta (ordinary blood) is both uSNa (hot) & sIta (cold).

It is sweet, unctuous reddish, heavy & foul-smelling.

Like pitta it too causes vidAha (burning sensation).

According to VRddhAtreya:

Oh! Great Wiseman, there's another query about it.

In women, whether rajas (menstrual blood) is identical to rakta (ordinary blood) or do they differ?
