Is it OK for women to remove their leg and armpit hair, or to pluck their eyebrows?
Hair is hair. It’s all there for a reason. For Sikh women who are committed to observing the Rehit (code of conduct) cutting or removing any body hair is prohibited because the Gurus, who were Yogis themselves, understood this. The hair of the legs regulates the glandular system and stabilizes a person’s electromagnetic field. The hair under the armpits protects the very sensitive area where the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems come together; this interface affects the brain and your energy level. Eyebrows protect the eyes from sun and sweat. In addition, plucking the eyebrow hairs interferes with a woman’s ability to have a full and deep orgasm. We do not cut or remove the hair anywhere on our body.
