How to have a fresher and less itchy vagina

Many women have suffered from yeast infections or bacterial vaginal infection at least once in their lifetime. And a good deal of both men and women may also have suffered from viral skin infections such as genital warts and herpes.

Essentials Oils for Treating Yeast Infections

Many women have probably suffered from yeast infection at least once during their lifetime. This infection is usually characterized by an itchy, painful and burning sensation along with "cottage cheese" or thick vaginal discharge. Yeast infections can be caused by a number of organisms. One the most common causes of this problem is Candida albicans, a type of fungus, which exists in the normal healthy vagina.

Among the most effective essential oils against the common yeast infection are lavender and tea tree oil. All of these essential oils have strong antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, these oils were proven effective in inhibiting the growth of the Candida fungus in laboratory experiments.



Aromatherapy Treatments for Viral Skin Infections

Genital warts and herpes are viral infections, which commonly affect both men and women. Genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) while herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus.

One of the most effective ways to treat genital warts is by applying essential oils directly to the warts two to four times daily. When essential oils are used full strength, they must be dabbed directly to the warts only since they can easily burn sensitive skin. Sexibalm is blended to be safe for delicate skin, including the vagina and anus. It has been used extensively in this fashion.


Do you have eczema or psoriasis? Do you have flare ups in your genital region? Sexibalm contains a Coconut Oil and Shea Butter base, along with the essential oils, that will not thin your skin like steroid creams.


Sexibalm is can also be used as an after shave skin conditioner.

Simply put, razor bumps — also known as shaving bumps and pseudofolliculitis barbae — are the consequence of too-close shaving. Hair that's cut too short can curl back into the skin, resulting in tender, swollen bumps that can be skin-colored or reddened. Also, bacteria on the skin can enter through abrasions. The essential oils in Sexibalm has activity against this bacteria.

Your immune system reacts to ingrown hair the same way it reacts to splinters, producing inflammation and pus to rid your body of the "foreign" substance. Because of this, razor bumps aren't technically considered an infection. As hair continues to grow under the skin, however, the ongoing irritation can lead to folliculitis, an infection of the hair follicles. Although most folliculitis cases are mild, "deep" folliculitis can result in permanent hair loss and scarring.

With proper skin care, you can protect yourself from razor bumps. But if they do appear, home remedies can help relieve the irritation and speed healing. Persistent and painful razor bumps — especially those that become infected — should be evaluated and treated by a doctor or dermatologist.

Who Gets Razor Bumps?

Anybody who shaves — men, women, and even children — can develop razor bumps. No shaved skin is immune, including the face, armpits, legs, and pubic area. Other hair-removal techniques, such as plucking, waxing, and electrolysis, can also cause razor bumps.

Sexibalm is also great for women who work out in spandex and have topical itching. This oil is a good moisture barrier and helps itching!

Douching vs nourishing aromatherapy pellets

The word "douche" means to wash or soak in French. Douching is washing or cleaning out the vagina (birth canal) with water or other mixtures of fluids. Most douches are prepackaged mixes of water and vinegar. You can buy these products at drug and grocery stores. The mixtures usually come in a bottle and can be squirted into the vagina through a tube or nozzle.

Women douche because they mistakenly believe it gives many benefits. Women who douche say they do it to:

Clean the vagina
Rinse away blood after monthly periods
Get rid of odor
Avoid sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Prevent pregnancy


Douching is common among women in the United States. It’s estimated that 20 to 40 percent of American women 15 to 44 years old douche regularly. About half of these women douche each week. Higher rates of douching are seen in teens, African-American women, and Hispanic women.

Most doctors and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommend that women don’t douche. Douching can change the delicate balance of vaginal flora (organisms that live in the vagina) and acidity in a healthy vagina. One way to look at it is in a healthy vagina there are both good and bad bacteria. The balance of the good and bad bacteria help maintain an acidic environment. Any changes can cause an over growth of bad bacteria which can lead to a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. Plus, if you have a vaginal infection, douching can push the bacteria causing the infection up into the uterus, fallopian tubes, and pelvic cavity.

According to womenshealth.gov, research shows that women who douche regularly have more health problems than women who don’t. Doctors are still unsure whether douching causes these problems. Douching may simply be more common in groups of women who tend to have these issues. Health problems linked to douching include:

Vaginal irritation
Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
STIs
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Some STIs, BV, and PID can all lead to serious problems during pregnancy. These include infection in the baby, problems with labor, and early delivery.


Due to the fact that women like to douche to feel fresh and clean, but frequently go to the doctor because this process does not always work, I developed a vaginal insert using essential aromatherapy oils. These are made with coconut which moisturizes the vagina and essential oils to enhance the ability of the vagina to withstand infections. The aromatherapy inserts contain lactobacillus, so if you are eating yogurt to help rid your body of yeast infections, you have another way to apply it also.
