Menstruation and menstruation practices continue to be subject to several social, cultural, and religious limitations, which is a significant obstacle to managing menstrual hygiene. Girls suffer significant difficulties and hurdles at home, in the classroom, and at work because they are not prepared for and aware of their periods in many areas of the country, particularly in rural ones. In our evaluation of the literature, we discovered that inadequate, incorrect, or incomplete knowledge about menstruation is a significant barrier to managing menstrual and personal hygiene. Women and girls know very little or nothing about genital infections, which are brought on by poor personal hygiene during menstruation. Women in rural regions often lack access to sanitary goods, have limited knowledge of their varieties and methods of use, or are unable to pay for them because of their expensive price. They therefore mostly rely on washable, reusable cloth pads. Despite significant advancements in the field of water and sanitation, the needs and requirements of adolescent girls and women remain overlooked. When women are at home, they flush menstrual products down the toilets without thinking about the dangers of choking, and when they are outside, they dispose of them in public restrooms and household waste. Using Terminalia chebula to make this kind of herbal serviette is both secure and cost-effective. For those napkins that cause infections, a main alternative is to use a herbal fruit to decrease infection. To treat women well in such wonderful circumstances, a step is done in this direction.
