Frankly I cannot see that a literal translation works here. How can you "love your intimate female nature"?? All it means is that you can be at ease with your body and the way it works....

"How can I translate this without it sounding weird?" I think that ship's done sailed! lol

Perhaps this could be of help:

Wow. 264 pages about periods...
writeaway May 22, 2017:
Get to know your intimate self? so many possibilities.....

@writeaway This is my attempt "Enough to become familiar with your feminine intimacy and learn to love it" and that's why I posted this question...
writeaway May 22, 2017:
What do you have so far? What are your own ideas?

Learn to know and love your intimate female nature

I suspect it's a bit more hokey than understanding and being comfortable. I imagine there's something more mystical about the whole thing and that it's bound to sound weird...

agree katsy : given the blurb you can read via the link this seems fine! And as it's about natural remedies etc., 'nature' seems a good choice. But as Phil says 264 pages on periods... I will pass on that one!
