A new concept of woman for the 21st century
According to the Philosophy of Intimate Care, the understanding of a woman's body is: for existence, a female being; for social life, a political human being; for historical dynamics, a cultural being of her time; for spirituality, a philosophical being; and for evolution, a unique being. In contemporary times, she seeks to restore her full participation in social structure and the political game to build or shape a world with more balance between the roles of men and women, aiming to make the world a healthy place for everyone, especially for her children and family.
For centuries, the bio-functionality of the female body has been distorted in various aspects: biological, medical, scientific, social, political, and ideological. Specifically, the pathologization of the female body, particularly the Reproductive, Homeostatic, and Pleasure System (RHPS) – formerly known as the reproductive system.
This means this body was seen as exceptional, abnormal, with a biased view of biologically natural processes, subjected to unnecessary medicalization or misinterpretation, in addition to the appropriation of her own body. As a result, women lost autonomy to care for their intimate health in daily life, in the same way they care for their face and body.
From a biological perspective, pathologization also means that the physiological criteria or the stages of normality, aging, and disease are not represented – or are irregularly represented – in the female body, its system, organs, and mind. Because one or more of these aspects are treated as exceptional or as a disease by professionals, doctors, or science itself. In the specific case of the pathologization of the female body, there is an absence or total suppression of the aging stage.

The suppression of this physiological stage was inserted into women's health when medicine shifted from plant-based natural remedies to scientific science with Hippocrates in Antiquity. Hippocrates formulated the "wandering womb theory," asserting that the uterus – a healthy organ, by the way – caused physical and mental illnesses in women's health. Here originates the beginning of the Western pathological approach to the female body.
Among other consequences of this line of thought in the 21st century, the prevalence of the absence of a concept of women's health stands out. Such a concept should encompass all aspects of the three physiological stages: normality, aging, and illness. What we have today is an opposition between health and disease that operates on the female body.
This leaves aside daily intimate care, understood as "intimate skincare," where the woman herself is responsible for keeping her intimate skin hydrated, nourished, and muscle toned. These intimate care practices help combat the effects of intimate aging (such as dryness and vaginal atrophy), preserving beauty and well-being, both from an aesthetic point of view and for the general health of the vagina and the intimate area.
On the other hand, this gap is filled today by the fatalistic theory of hormones, according to which hormones drive life, vitality, and bring joy to a woman's existence. Thus, the natural reduction of these hormones is interpreted as ovarian failure and insufficiency – in other words, it is the theory of the womb revisited, now under new direction: from marriage to the pharmaceutical industry, with some doctors and scientists as intermediaries.
Just like Hippocrates in his time, controlling female life and body through recommendations of marriage, pregnancy, and sex, meanwhile, women's health remains subjected to this game of interests.

This is one of the great limitations of the Hippocratic school, which became a kind of "wall" incapable of recognizing that there is life, desire, vitality, and fullness in the female being, even after the fertile period. After all, infertility is the woman’s "permanent residence," while fertility is her "temporary residence." Every woman is born with the capacity to become fertile, and yet, this is temporary. Fertility is not a woman's life, desire, or dreams, especially for the 21st-century woman. It is just a part.
Because a woman is a political, social, and cultural being who carries the capacity to be fertile. Therefore, limiting the life, joy, and aspirations of being a woman solely to the reproductive period was and still is wrong according to the Hippocratic school. So much so that most species, after becoming infertile, die; however, women live, beautifully, and healthily. In fact, biology itself previously prepares the entire physical, biological, and emotional structure to ensure longevity, so that she can live fully and healthily through the Cycle of 40 ([1] Méry, 2026).
Therefore, the Hippocratic school, even 2,500 years after its founding, has not been able to surpass the barrier of the first phase of patriarchal society – the phase of splendor of Classical Antiquity, of total control over women's life and death.
This difficulty lies in the fact that it was not a medicine created with the intention of producing knowledge alone, but rather to meet the desires of patriarchal society in its mode of operation, controlling women's lives through reproductive function. Hence, it prescribed marriage, pregnancy, and sex as a way to cure illnesses, thus exercising control, fostering social values, and satisfying men's needs.
This is an approach committed to the legacy of the Hippocratic school and Greco-Roman memory, leaving the real interest of women's health in the background. In the 21st century, this tradition still follows its "prophet," just as Christians follow theirs. Proof of this is that even the biological process of vaginal dehydration – which occurs as in any part of the body, in the RHPS – is treated as a disease, with terms like "symptom" and "syndrome."
Furthermore, terms from geology, such as "dryness" are used to characterize a geological space in the RHPS, instead of using "hydration" and "dehydration," which are the appropriate terms for discussing processes or states of the skin or organism.
It is in this context that Biofeminine: A new perspective for understanding women through the Philosophy of Intimate Care emerges. It is a field of investigation dedicated to understanding women in their totality. It addresses various aspects: medical, scientific, social, political, and ideological, throughout history and prehistory, in both the:
Macro Perspective of the Biofeminine
The macro perspective investigates the trajectory of women throughout history and their relationship with the social, cultural, scientific, and political processes that have influenced the understanding of the female body. In this dimension, the Biofeminine seeks to understand:
Female ancestry
The historical construction of knowledge about women
Prejudices and invisibilities related to the female body
Women's participation in knowledge production
The evolution of care practices
Political and social relations
Cultural transformations that have influenced women's health
The macro perspective recognizes that the understanding of women depends not only on biology but also on how different societies have interpreted and recorded their existence over time. Its goal is to promote a historical and ancestral rescue that contributes to broadening the understanding of the female experience.
Micro Perspective of the Biofeminine
The micro perspective investigates the medical-scientific relationship, especially the pathologization of the female body, the exceptional view, and the distortions of natural processes and normal bio-functioning. It also analyzes the construction of women's biological architecture and the processes that sustain their vitality related to sex, sexuality, pleasure, intimate aesthetics, and female well-being in all stages of life.
In this dimension, the Biofeminine is understood as an integrated network of physiological, metabolic, hormonal, immunological, and neurosensory systems that act in constant cooperation to maintain health, reproduction, homeostasis, and pleasure.
The micro perspective especially includes:
Biofeminine Metabolic Network: A set of biological processes that connect tissues, hormones, microbiota, nervous system, immune system, blood vessels, and cellular metabolism.
Vaginal Hydration Proprietary System (VHPS): A specialized subsystem related to maintaining hydration, protection, elasticity, and vitality of female intimate tissues.
Female Homeostatic Health: The capacity of the female organism to preserve balance, adaptation, and functionality in the face of natural life transformations, including aging, reproductive pause, and hormonal changes.
The Integration of the Two Perspectives
The Philosophy of Intimate Care proposes that a woman can only be fully understood when the macro and micro perspectives are observed together. The macro perspective reveals the woman's history, and the micro perspective reveals her biological architecture. One explains the paths taken by the female experience over time. The other reveals the mechanisms that sustain her vitality in the present.
Conceptual Synthesis
The Biofeminine is the field of investigation of the Philosophy of Intimate Care dedicated to understanding women in their historical and biological totality.
In its macro perspective, it investigates the ancestry, memory, culture, and historical trajectory of women.
In its micro perspective, it investigates the female biological architecture, composed of the Biofeminine Metabolic Network, the Vaginal Hydration Proprietary System (VHPS), and the mechanisms of Female Homeostatic Health.
Together, these perspectives allow us to understand women as a singular expression of the biofeminine architecture, supported by an integrated network of health, reproduction, homeostasis, and pleasure throughout life.
Biofeminine is an invitation for you to look at your body with different eyes. To stop treating the natural as a disease and start taking care of your intimate health with joy, pleasure, and autonomy.
