I have been doing some research in response to the

I have been doing some research in response to the many queries that I have received regarding the use of CBD as a means of pain management/lube/ointment.
Understandably so seeing that there has been a growing influx of CBD (THC free) products on the market and a long term dyspareunia prevalence of 7.5% (sexual pain for >/= 3months in last year) (Mitchell et al 2017).

I have a series of 3 CBD posts that I will release in the coming days where I break down articles that have been used to promote the use of CBD. I want to be as comprehensive as possible in helping you make an informed decision but please be mindful that we (in science) do not have all the answers yet and you need to both; listen to your body and do your due diligence when making a purchase. In my opinion, transparency on the brands behalf is essential, see the second image for a lovely example of this.
With regards to inflammatory conditions, a 2016 study found that CBD (thc free) gel reduced signs of pain, physical inflammation and and pro-inflammatory markers with 4 days topical application in rats (Hammell et al 2016). Many of our studies are performed on rats (I am so sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, many state that they are done ethically). This is exciting as its not a petri dish but rather a living thing, so the findings are that much more relevant but we need to follow this with controlled human trials.

Exciting stuff.

Keep an eye our for more studies in the next few days!

MCT and your vulvo-vaginal tissue.
This delivery allows me to expand on the recent content that I have been sharing when it comes to making an informed decision and choosing the right lube for you!
Comedogenic rating is not a standardised measure nor is it acknowledged by the FDA but it may give you valuable insight into the potential impact that an ingredient may have on your tissues.
Comedogenic rating is said to determine the likelihood of an oil clogging your pores, it measures as 0 (no probability) to 5 (high probability).
If you are experiencing vulvo-vaginal symptoms in response to the use of a product it may be worth doing your research to determine if this is an aggravating factor for you.
🥥
For example; Coconut oil is rated a 4/5 where as MCT is a 2/5
If you have used Coconut oil as ie. a lubricant or for perennial massage and have noticed an increase in irritation, it may be worth trying MCT instead.

Have you tried MCT?

Keep an eye out for tomorrows post on The CBD point of view.

Just a simple message of
1. Gratitude - to each and every one of you

2. Love - to anyone that may need a little extra today!

I am currently having a quiet weekend in the bush, I will get back to any direct messages/mails/calls next week 🤗

Have a wonderful weekend! You deserve it ❤️

In a 12 week study by, Mitchell et al. 2018, moist

In a 12 week study by, Mitchell et al. 2018, moisturisers, estradiol and a placebo were all found to have SIMILAR outcomes when it comes to female sexual function (FSFI).

This is incredible! And goes to show the invaluable impact of spending dedicated time CONNECTING to ones body!

In this case; gently and mindfully massaging a moisturiser into your Vulvovaginal tissue, getting to know your anatomy, getting in touch with a part of your body that has long been considered Taboo or out of bounds - positively Impacted Vulvovaginal tissue, similarly to hormonal therapies!

The value of this is also demonstrated in a study by Goldstein et al. 2017, where mindfulness was listed as one of the management methods for low libido (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) - improving ones;
Ability to be present
Self Compassion
Awareness

What do you do to spend dedicated time with yourself either generally or more intimately?

Here I am doing one of the many @yogaconnect.co.za routines whilst being mindful of my breath, lower back and pelvic tension... feels so good!

Reasons for Intercourse If you stop and think, wha

Reasons for Intercourse
If you stop and think, what are the reasons that you have ‘sex’ how many can you think of? - in this context we are talking about ‘PIV intercourse’

In this study, a whopping 237 reasons were identified! And to be honest, there are most likely more; if we were to expand our meaning of sex, look across different cultures, across different relationship structures, genders, ages, life stages…

The most common reasons were: 1️⃣ Pure attraction to the other person in general 2️⃣ experiencing physical pleasure 3️⃣ expression of love 4️⃣ having sex because of feeling desired by the other 5️⃣ having sex to escalate the depth of the relationship 6️⃣ curiosity or seeking new experiences 7️⃣ marking a special occasion for celebration 8️⃣ mere opportunity 9️⃣ sex just happening due to seemingly uncontrollable circumstances.

‘Men’ were more likely to identify reasons relating to physical appearance and desirability, experience seeking, opportunity, social status. ‘Women’ were more likely to identify reasons relating to emotional, love & commitment motivations for sex.  But of course there was overlap. - Meston et al 2007 (YSEX) & 2019 (YSEX-SF)

What are your top 3?

‘Self care’ to me, is an opportunity to connect with self, slow down and be present. This ‘connection’ is essential in the pelvic and sexual health work that I do. If you have worked with me, you will know that my approach to care may not always seem direct, ie. creativity, breath work, self care, mobility, sleep, mediation, but each component plays an essential role in holistic therapy.
