Generally
our body is to be maintained, washed and kept clean, but do you know
that there are certain body parts ( organs ) that don't require these
everyday maintenance, they each have their own cleaning mechanism, which
is more efficient and safe.
They include:
1. Eyes
Our eyes clean and lubricate themselves everytime we blink using the tears what we produce.
There
are 3 types of tears. Basal tears contain water, mucin, lipids,
lysozyme, lactoferrin, lipocalin, lacritin, immunoglobulins, glucose,
urea, sodium, and potassium (proteins, salts and fats to help clean,
lubricate and fight infection in the eye). These are the tears when you
blink.
The second are reflex tears which happen when you get something in your eye. Sort of extra protection.
The
third are psychic tears which happen during heightened emotion so
happy, sad angry etc. These have a different chemical make up and
contain hormones and even some natural pain killers. Not really sure
why.
2. Vagina
Glands in the vagina produce fluid that
flows out daily to help get rid of dead cells and other potentially
harmful materials (this is discharge).
The folds of the vagina
also protect against infection by sticking together to keep as much bad
stuff on the outside as possible. The skin of the vaginal folds also
have glands that produce fluid, called sebum, for added protection
against infection and even waterproofing.
Sebum can build up and
that is perfectly healthy — not an indication of poor hygiene. Vaginas
are self-sustaining and should not be washed with soap or douched
because it can wash away these protective fluids.
