Natural remedies for enlarged prostate

Men who live long enough have a very high chance of developing an enlarged prostate gland. An enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), differs from prostate cancer and treatment will depend on symptoms. Some men with enlarged prostates don’t ever experience symptoms, but most men have mild symptoms. The management of these symptoms will depend on their severity, and this article aims to look at natural remedies that relieve symptoms or potentially shrink an enlarged prostate.

What Is An Enlarged Prostate?

The prostate gland wraps around the urethra, which is the tube out of which urine flows. Belonging to the male reproductive system, the prostate gland naturally gets bigger as men age. Several factors may cause a prostate to enlarge. Aging and changing cells in the testicles may play a roll in the gland’s growth. Men who have their testicles removed at a young age as a result of an accident or cancer, for example, do not develop BPH. Additionally, the prostate begins to shrink if older men who have BPH remove their testicles. Although BPH is non-cancerous, it does increase the risk for prostate cancer. 

Eventually, an enlarged prostate can clamp down on the urethra and restrict the flow of urine from the bladder. This can lead to a variety of problems, including:

  • Difficulty in voiding
  • Frequent urination
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Urinary leakage

For men with enlarged prostates, the following natural remedies may help to relieve symptoms. 

5 Natural Remedies For An Enlarged Prostate

Change Your Bathroom Habits

If you experience bothersome urinary symptoms, it may be time to change your bathroom habits. As soon as you feel the urge to urinate, go to the restroom and empty your bladder each time. This will help reduce the number of trips you make to the restroom. To ease urination, experts recommend that you relax as much as possible beforehand. Anxiety can make it more difficult to urinate, so block out your symptoms and consider meditation to ease the flow of urine. 

Stinging Nettle

European stinging nettle can cause a sharp jolt of pain if you come in contact with the hairs on its leaves. Although this is the case, it doesn’t have that effect when brewed or cooked. In fact, stinging nettle may benefit men with BPH. Nettle root contains similar antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that are in saw palmetto and pygeum. In fact, some herbal concoctions often combine saw palmetto with nettle root to reduce the size of the prostate. 

Eat A Plant-Based Diet

According to several studies, it’s best for men with enlarged prostates to follow a plant-based diet. Decreasing the intake of animal-based foods, or eliminating them from the diet entirely, is the first line of defense for reducing the size of the prostate. It’s best to prioritize fresh fruits and vegetables because they exhibit potent antioxidant activity that reduces oxidative stress. They are also rich in fiber, anti-inflammatory properties, and other vitamins and minerals. It’s also beneficial to consume starch-resistant foods because they contain beneficial organisms that improve gut microbiome. Improving gut health ultimately enhances immune function, which may reduce inflammation in the prostate. BPH is an inflammatory process, so reducing the rate of inflammation can only benefit your health. Focus on lentils, green bananas, green beans, kidney beans, and other gut healthy foods. 

Watch What You Drink And When

As you are well aware, the liquids you consume must eventually come out. Cutting down or monitoring what and when you drink can help cut down on urinary irritation. Researchers confirm that caffeine and alcohol encourage the kidneys to produce urine. That means you can expect more frequent trips to the bathroom when drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages. It’s best to avoid or moderate your nighttime intake of these beverages, as it may cut down how often you need to urinate. This may help improve sleep if you regularly wake up at night to empty the bladder. Additionally, limit the consumption of cranberry juice and wine, especially before you leave the house or go to bed. 

Saw Palmetto

This herb may be the most studied herb in regards to naturally reducing an enlarged prostate. This herbal remedy comes from the fruit of the palm tree, and several studies confirm that it may be effective at relieving BPH symptoms. Saw palmetto inhibits the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and reduces the size of the prostate’s inner lining. The research on saw palmetto as an effective remedy for BPH is ongoing. Preliminary studies, however, find that the anti-inflammatory and hormone-blocking properties may help men with BPH.

As Men’s Health Week in 2019 comes to a close, we feel that it’s time to take a look at what steps men can take to help manage their health. While good habits like maintaining a healthy diet and frequently exercising are integral for optimal health, there are several herbs that can help support overall male health. There are herbs that are conducive for women, but this article is about herbs that help to promote vitality, a healthy prostate, sex drive, and a healthy reproductive system.

Herbs, unlike pharmaceutical drugs, rarely have side effects. Before consuming the herbs in this article, it is important to know whether or not you are allergic to them. While these herbs are have the ability to help improve overall male health, they work best when consumed alongside a balanced, plant-based diet. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and low stress levels only help to enhance the benefits of these herbs.

Astragalus

Chinese Medicine has commonly used astragalus for male infertility. Scientifically proven to increase sperm motility, astragalus works to support male hormones, specifically testosterone and growth hormones. Astragalus is also a known immune booster and works to slow down the aging process.

Saw Palmetto

In more recent years, the plant’s berries have been known to help improve urinary tract health, increase libido, and increase sperm production. Saw palmetto also helps to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. You can make teas, blend it in smoothies, or find saw palmetto in herbal supplements.

Ginseng

The ginsenosides in ginseng have been known to have positive effects on the central nervous system and gonadal tissues. Traditionally, men have consumed ginseng tea to reap the sexual rejuvenation properties. It helps to improve metabolism and stamina, both of which influence a man’s sexual health and fertility.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha has been used to promote male vitality for thousands of years due to its effects on healthy hormone function. Studies have shown that it helps to stabilize male hormones, in addition to increasing testosterone levels. Ashwagandha is a natural aphrodisiac and has been said to give the “strength of a stallion.” This herb also lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, and high levels or cortisol can often inhibit an increase in muscle mass.

Stinging Nettle

Containing a number of health benefits, stinging nettle has positive effects on the prostate and urinary tract. Stinging nettle helps to encourage healthy hormone levels and works to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, which is an androgen hormone that can enlarge the prostate.

Horny Goat Weed

Although this herb has a funny name, it is a proven aphrodisiac that helps to increase the male libido, and is commonly used as a natural remedy for erectile dysfunction. The primary benefits have been attributed to icariin, a flavonoid that helps to boost the transmission of nitric oxide, which is the main chemical transmitter that provides ample blood delivery to penis tissue. It also boosts the natural circulation of testosterone.

Pumpkin Seed

Pumpkin seeds are rich sources of zinc, potassium, and iron, all of which provide support to the prostate. A recent study revealed that pumpkin seed extract helped to encourage healthy urine flow in men with enlarged prostates.

As men grow older, prostate health becomes a more talked about subject. The prostate filters and removes toxins for sperm protection, but it cannot do its job efficiently if there is an overabundance of toxins in the body. Toxin accumulation in the body may be one of the more common causes of higher rates of prostate cancer, and it can affect DHT production, and DHT is responsible for reduced sex drive in older men. It’s advisable for men over the age of 40 to talk with their doctors and start adjusting their lifestyles to think about ways to help keep the prostate healthy. Since prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men, catching it early is the best way to take action.

A man can have prostate cancer that is not lethal, but it can interfere with the quality of his life. Most commonly, men with prostate cancer experience complications with sexual activity or develop urinary control issues. A high percentage of men may experience an enlarged prostate and have similar complications, but it is not prostate cancer. If you have an enlarged prostate, you can still use the following foods to maintain prostate health.

Oregano

Oregano is much more powerful than the flavor it adds to pasta or pizza sauces. While there are antioxidant and antibacterial properties in oregano, carvacrol is one of its main components that has cancer-fighting effects. While tests are still being done on carvacrol, preliminary results show that it is an anti-cancer agent that is effective at killing prostate cancer cells.

Avocados

Not only are avocados rich in magnesium, which is an essential mineral in your body, they are also superfoods that can help reduce the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Avocados are loaded with healthy fats and contain beta-sitosterol, which can boost the immune system, improve urine flow, and decrease inflammation in the prostate. Additional studies show that avocados can help fight the early stages of prostate cancer.

Turmeric

Every person should have more turmeric in his or her diet. It has potent anti-inflammatory properties and several studies have found that it has the ability to fight off cancer cells. The active ingredient, curcumin, may inhibit cancerous growths in the prostate gland. Because curcumin helps decrease inflammation, tumor cells have a harder time metastasizing. Let it be known that this is not a cancer-curing food, but it does play a positive role in prevention.

Sesame Seeds

Yes, those little seeds that are sprinkled on sushi rolls and everything bagels have high levels of zinc. Since men with enlarged prostates or prostate cancer tend to have low zinc levels, having proper zinc levels can help prevent early damage to the prostate. You can also eat pumpkin seeds to boost your zinc levels, which ultimately aids your immune system. You have to eat about 1/4 cup of sesame seeds for 2.8 milligrams of zinc, just FYI.

Saw Palmetto

This plant has been used as an herbal remedy for hundreds of years. More recently, research has revealed that the plant’s berries may improve urinary tract health, increase libido, and increase sperm production. Saw palmetto also helps to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. You can make teas, blend it in smoothies, or find saw palmetto in herbal supplements.

Bell Peppers

Citrus fruits often steal the show when it comes to vitamin C, which may help fight BPH, but bell peppers actually have higher amounts of it. You can also get vitamin C from other veggies like dark leafy greens or broccoli. Mixing up your sources of vitamin C may help to improve your prostate’s health.

Green Tea

Green tea has an abundance of antioxidants and should be incorporated into your diet, especially if you want to improve the health of your prostate. EGCG is the specific antioxidant in green tea that may actually help kill cancer cells in the prostate. Additionally, green tea inhibits enzymes that fuel cancer growth. Men with prostate cancer can drink green tea to help decrease cancerous tissue and promote overall health.

In addition to these foods that benefit the prostate, you can consume flaxseed oil, thyme oil, stinging nettle, pyguem, ginger, tomatoes, or take a natural supplement to improve the health of your prostate.

As men age, they increase their risk of developing health issues related to the male reproductive system. The most common cancer men are diagnosed with is prostate cancer, which is also the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men. As with other diseases and health conditions, prostate cancer can be influenced by certain lifestyle or dietary habits.

Tobacco, alcohol, poor sleep, mental stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, and other drug use can all contribute to the onset of cancer. What we are saying is that everyday practices that men consider normal could have a negative affect on their health later in life. It is ideal to take preventative measures for optimal prostate health as men age. There are valuable herbs, the best of which are detailed below, that contribute to a healthy male reproductive system.

Ashwaghanda

As an adaptogen herb, which is an herb that helps to restore, protect, and balance the body, ashwaghanda helps to boost the immune system, calm nerves, and help the body handle stress. Historically, ashwaghanda was used to increase sexual drive and promote vitality, along with boosting energy levels. Add a teaspoon of ashwaghanda in powdered form to each smoothie!

Saw Palmetto

While it promotes health in various regions of the body, saw palmetto is known for boosting prostate health. Saw palmetto berries have been used to help increase sperm production, boost libido, and remedy urinary tract issues. Studies have shown that saw palmetto helps to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-cancerous, enlarged prostate. The sterols and fatty acids in saw palmetto also work to strengthen the male reproductive system!

Ginkgo Biloba

Gingko biloba has received a lot of attention for its ability to boost memory and brain function, by way of increasing blood flow to the brain. It also helps to promote overall circulation, support vision, and contribute to sexual health. For men, gingko biloba is beneficial for boosting vitality and libido. It also helps to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and depression.

Stinging Nettle

Common in most parts of the world, stinging nettle has become a popular treatment for BPH. On its own it can help relieve incomplete emptying of the bladder, reduced urine flow, or the constant need to urinate (all symptoms of an enlarged prostate), but these beneficial properties are amplified when used in combination with saw palmetto. While the leaves have health properties, the root of stinging nettle should be brewed into tea for the best results.

Tribulus Terrestris

Historically, this plant has been known to boost testosterone levels and sexual desire. Many body builders have used this herb during training periods to help build muscles. Erectile dysfunction is a common condition in older men. Since this plant works to naturally fight erectile dysfunction, it is worth including in your diet.

Penile erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is a widely known health condition in males. The condition causes the penis to be incapable of being erect or raised to an erect position. Erectile dysfunction affects approximately 18 million men in the United States alone. Often times, erectile dysfunction is reversible with some simple lifestyle changes.

Causes

Erectile dysfunction has many possible causes such as:

  • Diet
  • Medication
  • Illness
  • Alcoholism

Diet is an easily changed factor that can affect erectile dysfunction. When blood flow is limited to the male penis, its ability to become and stay erect is limited. One factor that decreases blood flow in the body is cholesterol. When we have high levels of cholesterol, our arteries become blocked and blood flow is decreased. This causes many dangerous conditions in the body including heart attacks. Blocked arteries also lead to erectile dysfunction.

Eating a diet low in cholesterol is important to our overall health and reversing erectile dysfunction. Foods high in cholesterol like meat and dairy products should be eliminated from your diet. Switch to a plant-based diet, rich in healthy green foods. These foods will help to lower your cholesterol levels and allow blood to flow properly to all parts of the body.

Studies have shown that diet plays a key role in reversing clogged arteries. Green foods happen to be rich in blood-cleansing nutrients that can help dissolve cholesterol buildup.

Alcohol use has also been attributed to erectile dysfunction. Alcohol use can cause blood vessels to expand, but not close. This prevents an erection. Over use of alcohol can cause great damage to the blood vessels and can contribute to hypertension and heart disease, both of which are contributing factors to erectile dysfunction.

Moderate alcohol consumption should not cause erectile dysfunction in healthy men. Keep drinking to a minimum for optimum health.

Some diseases interfere with sexual performanceas well. As mentioned earlier, Cardiovascular diseases are a larger contributing factor to erectile dysfunction. Hypertension and Peripheral Vascular Disease both affect circulation and therefore limit the blood flow to the male penis. The result is erectile dysfunction. Other diseases that have been linked to erectile dysfunction are:

  • Depression
  • Diabetes
  • Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer does not directly cause erectile dysfunction, but treatments for the disease often result in the condition. Surgery, hormone therapy and radiation are common treatments for prostate cancer, all of which can affect sexual health.

Depression causes the brain to have a chemical imbalance, including chemicals that promote our sex drive. This causes our sexual desire to be lowered or nonexistent. Also, when neurotransmitters are lowered to the brain, our senses can be dulled. This causes a loss in the feeling of pleasure we normally experience.

Natural Healing

Herbs can be wonderful in counteracting erectile dysfunction. Some herbs to incorporate into your daily life include:

Surgical breast implantation procedures exploit low self-esteem females. These women are taken advantage of because they don’t measure up to the national beauty norm or standard set by men. It is men who place an emphasis on the female breasts.

Women will do almost anything in pursuit of beauty. They really will. Women put on all kinds of harmful and toxic make-up just to look beautiful or to enhance their beauty, but at the same time are poisoning themselves and dying prematurely due to an inundation of toxic chemicals into the body and into the bloodstream via the skin, the largest body organ.

The Purpose of Breasts

Breasts exist to feed newborns. The breasts are a sign or badge of nurturing and motherhood. They are also a sign representing or denoting femaleness.

Breasts actually have nothing to do with femininity. Breasts do not make a woman. It is feminine grace and essence that makes a woman. True, large breasts makes a statement, but does not make a woman.

Breasts are located at the Hermetic seat or Fourth Chakra (seat of love and compassion, the ability to give and share and to help others, unconditional love, ability to express love, etc.) in your chest area. The Fourth Chakra resonates with two colors: green and pink. Therefore, for purposes of color therapy or healing in relation to breast health, the ideal bra colors to wear are green and pink.

At the nipples of both breasts are chakras (energy center, vortex). Chi (energy) enters a woman’s body through her nipples. Breast implants are sure to cause energy blockages at the nipple or breast chakras.

Natural Alternatives

If a woman wants naturally larger breasts or just breasts with more tone and definition, she should take 5 capsules of the herb Saw Palmetto (berries) four to five times daily for a few months consecutively.

Saw Palmetto is a powerful natural steroid that builds tissue, especially in the breasts. In addition, it is an anti-adrogenic hormonal stimulant that naturally enlarges underdeveloped breasts.

A woman can’t go wrong with taking large amounts of this herb for it will not only augment, tone, and define the breasts, but will also help to enhance vaginal lubrication, increase fertility, improve libido, and strengthen the entire female reproductive system. As this herb is a breast-specific herb, it will greatly improve and enhance the quality and quantity of breast milk for nursing mothers.

Female breast health will be covered in more detail in an article entitled “Female Breast Health.” There are a lot of women with unhealthy and very diseased breasts. The end result is usually breast cancer.

In closing, for the women who may be contemplating breast implantation, think twice before going under the knife. True beauty and sexuality is in the brain, not the breasts.

Thank you for reading.

Varicocele: enlargement of the veins within the scrotum https://www.dherbs.com/articles/general-topics/varicocele-enlargement-of-the-veins-within-the-scrotum/ Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:25:53 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/uncategorized/varicocele-enlargement-of-the-veins-within-the-scrotum/

Varicocele is enlargement of the veins, similar to varicose veins, in the scrotum, the pouch containing testes and parts of the spermatic cord due to inflammation caused by a number of things.

Varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, the pouch of skin containing the testes and parts of the spermatic cord. This condition is similar to varicose vein, a disorder that occurs in the legs. Varicocele usually occurs in males between the ages of 15 and 25.

Causes

The enlargement of the veins within the scrotum is due to inflammation, which can be caused by a number of things. Some common causes include:

  • Tight clothing
  • Excessive masturbation
  • Stress on the testicles

In some cases, the condition is a result of excessive masturbation. Inflammation in the testicles is a sign that too much stimulation is occurring. Eventually, the continuation on inflation can lead to lowered sperm counts.

Tight clothing can limit the blood flow to the pelvic area. This can happen from wearing too-tight pants or underwear.

Stress on the testicles includes sitting on a bike seat or sitting in a car for extended periods of time. The compression on the testicles can cause painful inflammation.

The pain resulting from varicocele can be agonizing. It can last for several weeks, causing everyday life to be uncomfortable.

Healing Naturally

If your varicocele stems from excessive masturbation, it is wise to listen to your body and stop. If the act is causing you pain, that is a sign that your body is in trouble.

Tight clothing should be replaced with loose, breathable clothing items. Wear cotton underwear that allows air flow. Keep pants reasonably loose and away from your genital area.

To help alleviate the pain that comes with varicocele, try soaking in warm water with sea salt. Do this for 45 minutes, several times per week. This will help to reduce the inflammation and ease the pain you are experiencing.

Avoid using lotions or synthetic products on the genital area. If you feel the need to use a lotion on your genital area, use healing oil. Some excellent healing oils that can be used are:

  • Olive Oil
  • Coconut Oil
  • Combava Oil
  • Coriander Oil
  • Rose Oil
  • Neroli Oil

Be sure to eat zinc-rich foods and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables. Avoid meat, dairy, refined foods, artificial sweeteners and carbonated beverages.

Herbs can help with the recovery process too. Some therapeutic herbs to try include:

The post Menopause appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Because menopause is a part of the normal but unnatural female menstrual cycle, menopause too is normal but unnatural.

Menopause denotes the termination of the menstrual cycle in a female. Menopause derives from Latin “menses” meaning ‘month’, and Greek “pauses” meaning ‘to cease’ and is defined as: the cessation of menses. Menses stop naturally with the decline of cyclic hormonal production and function between 45 and 60 years of age but may stop earlier in life as a result of illness or the surgical removal of the uterus or both ovaries. As the production of ovarian estrogen and pituitary gonadotropins decreases, ovulation and menstruation become less frequent and eventually stop. Fluctuations in the circulating levels of these hormones occur as the levels decline. Hot flashes are the only nearly universal symptom of the menopause.

Menopause is mostly a phenomenon with Western women-especially in the capital of disease aka the United States – however, menopause is making its way to Africa, the Orient/Asia, and other countries of the East due to the pervasive standard American diet and the fast food industry. With democracy comes disease, and disease of every kind.

Menopause’s History

Female menstruation was originally an activity based upon the female energy body discharging toxic energy via vibrational menstruum every 28 days (under the original lunar calendar). Females dumped off toxic and stale energy on the emotional, etheric, astral, mental, and spiritual levels. But due to an inner defect that developed over past millennia, an imbalance occurred which today has manifested physically with the process of menstruation.

And because whatever comes out of the physical menstruation exists on the astral level, females also have an astral menstrual cycle. Astral menstruum toxicity is created with the physical menstruation since the physical menstruation releases toxins. The physical blood (menstruum) is a carrier base for toxic emotions. Females release their emotional toxicity via their menstrual cycle. This can be truly beneficial for the conscious woman who can will or bring on her menstruation at will.

Menopause can trigger a host of symptoms, including hot flashes, fatigue, vaginal dryness, insomnia, anxiety, and even depression. The depression linked to (or stemming from) menopause deals with the refusal to accept the biological fact that the “motherhood” days are over.

Menopause is connected to uterine and ovarian health, but it is mainly tied to the uterus, which is the seat of female emotions located at the Second Chakra (also known as the Sacral Plexus).

Menopause and Hysterectomies

On a physical level, menopause also denotes necrosis of the uterus. But just because the uterus has atrophied doesn’t mean a woman doesn’t need her uterus. She was born with it so she should die (transition) with it. It is the seat of the female brain and female emotions and intuition. This is a highly prized and important organ in the female body. It should not be removed under any circumstances. Many women who reach menopause are unwisely opting to have their uterus removed via hysterectomies but hysterectomies are unnecessary.

Hysterectomies are big business, just as all surgeries are big business. Doctors and hospitals make a lot of money via surgery.

Hysterectomies were first performed for purposes of preventing women from being hysterical as hysteria was seen as a neurosis or a psychological problem. The origin of hysterectomy was to cure “hysteria.”

Women who have their uterus removed instantly enter menopause. The uterus is an eliminative organ. Removal of the eliminative organ [uterus] means the elimination process of the uterus must now fall on the shoulders of another part of the female body. Clearly, this new locale for healing and elimination falls on the neck, hence “hot flashes” and “sweating.” This is a compensatory function for removal of the uterus. Well, why then do women who keep their uterus still experience hot flashes and sweating? Answer: acute uterine atrophy or an almost fully dead uterus due to toxicity. Women undergoing chemotherapy for cancer will also experience hot flashes.

The foregoing applies to very unhealthy women, women who over the years ate poorly (a lot of meat and dairy products, refined grains and starches, junk food, and fats food) and lived negatively (smoked cigarettes, did drugs, drank spirits and wine, took birth control pills and other pharmaceutical drugs), who were sexually indiscriminate and abused their vaginas and who may have contracted various STDs; and who suffocated their vaginas with tight underwear, clothing, and tampons.

Healthy women (usually vegan-vegetarian and raw food eaters) do not experience menopause like the average woman, who is unhealthy and not health-conscious. Their symptoms are very mild; however, if there is severe emotional balance, then they may experience a cumbersome transitional period.

Healing Menopause Naturally

Since menopause is inevitable for many women, the best advice is to prepare for the transition.

Develop a positive mental attitude. Only focus on good things. Yes, this will take some time and effort which is why so many people have invested in negative thinking and made it routine.

Your thoughts create your reality so when it comes to aging, think about and/or visualize yourself aging gracefully and smoothly. See it and feel it in advance. Stop responding to what you observe in other women who have experienced menopause. Women who constantly complain about their hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms send energy to what they are complaining about which causes what they are complaining about (menopause and its symptoms) to magnify. Where thought goes, energy flows.

Your emotions impact your feeling and/or how you feel. Deal with all of your emotional issues. Too many women hold on to negative emotions or emotions that don’t serve their best interests. Negative emotions are stored in the tissues of a woman’s uterus. Remember, the uterus is located above the Second Chakra, which is the seat of emotions for a female, in addition to her sexuality and relationships with lovers.

Stale energy can be released via deep breathing. Give yoga a try, or stretching and chakra balancing also help to remove stale energy.

Release stale energy and negative emotions, e.g. anger, bitterness, regret, jealousy, envy, wanting to get revenge, apathy, etc. They are no good for your health and block you from receiving your true desires, e.g. true love, wealth, abundance, prosperity, success, peace, and happiness.

Convert to a healthy lifestyle. Refrain from vices such as smoking cigarettes, drinking wine and spirits, wearing unhealthy clothing, using harmful hygiene products (especially commercial brand female sanitary products), and indiscriminate sex with unworthy partners.

Exercise in whatever method you most enjoy. Walk daily (in proper shoes and on sand, grass, or dirt). Swim, stretch; perform yoga, tai chi, qi chong, pilates, etc.

Perform crystal therapy or have it performed on you by a trans-crystal therapist. Excellent stones and crystals that help in cases of all female complaints including menopause include Carnelian, Ammonite, Malachite, Tiger’s Eye, Green Jade, and Moonstone. These crystals and gemstones can be laid directly on the skin of the belly and right above the vagina (for about 15-30 minutes per day while meditating).

Perform hydrotherapy (utilizing aromatherapy). Hydrotherapy is water therapy. Read the article entitled the “Benefits of Hydrotherapy and Steam” to learn and/or understand more about this healing modality. Aromatherapy is invaluable in addressing menopause. Good essential oils to use (burn in a diffuser, to inhale, or to add to bath water) include Rose Geranium, Clary Sage, Combava, Fennel, Cananga, Pink Lotus, Blue Yarrow, and Angelica.

To cool and soothe hot flashes, place a bottle of rose water (hydrosol) in the refrigerator (to keep cool) and when the need arises, spray the mist over the back of the neck area.

Dietary Intervention

Modify your diet. Refrain from eating animal flesh, dairy products, refined grains and starches, and processed foodstuffs.

Eat more raw fruits and vegetables (organic, if possible). Consider a vegan and/or raw foods diet.

Drink plenty of water and good herbal teas that benefit the female hormonal system, herbs such as:

Vaginal dryness tends to occur in older and middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s. It’s not uncommon to have cases of women in their 20s and 30s who suffer from vaginal dryness.

The vagina is naturally self-lubricating. It lubricates during sexual arousal or stimulation that is usually brought on by either thought or foreplay. Lubrication is the female body’s way of making the statement that it is ready for penetration. Lubrication helps the penis insert into the vagina and also helps to protect the vaginal tissues from the effect of stroking.

Causes of Vaginal Dryness

Physically speaking, vaginal dryness results from a hormonal imbalance and issues with the endocrine and reproductive systems. Vaginal dryness usually indicates a lack of the female hormone progesterone, but also a lack of the female hormone estrogen or perhaps a lack of both hormones in some cases.

On a deep level of understanding, when the vagina fails to naturally lubricate, it’s a sign that the woman does not want to have sex or that the woman should not be engaging in sex.

Natural vaginal lubrication is necessary for penile penetration and if there’s a problem with the vagina becoming lubricated (which it naturally does when a woman is sexually stimulated), then it’s a sign that sex should not be taking place until a problem is first addressed. The problem could be physical, mental, emotional, psychological, or even etheric.

The majority of females do not enjoy painful, burning penile penetration (which can rupture the delicate and soft vaginal tissue and lead to bleeding). Painful, burning penetration results from sex while the vagina is not lubricated.

What You Should Know About Commercial Lubricants

Dherbs does not advocate commercial brand lubricants for any purpose or reason, regardless of the sexual act or activity.

Many synthetic-based lubricants can cause further vaginal dryness. Synthetic man-made lubricant is not the solution for a dry vagina. A dry vagina means something is out of balance with the female endocrine and sexual reproductive system.

There are plenty of natural alternatives such as botanical oils such as olive oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and grape seed oil to name a few. Remember, ideally you should be able to eat anything you put on your body and if you can’t, it doesn’t belong on your body.

Many commercial brand lubricants contain petroleum that is derived from rocks and has no business on or in your body. Never use Vaseline either. Vaseline is 100% petroleum, hence its name, Petroleum Jelly.

There is a good alternative to petroleum jelly today that is sold in health food stores. It’s called ‘Un-Petroleum Jelly.’ It feels and looks just like petroleum jelly. It can be used for everything petroleum is used for.

Reversing Vaginal Dryness Naturally

No herb helps to reverse vaginal dryness like saw palmetto berry. Saw palmetto helps to stimulate natural lubrication in the vagina. It can be combined with false unicorn root for maximum effect. Six capsules (or 3 cups of tea) of saw palmetto berries daily should suffice (along with change in thought process, diet, lifestyle, and attitude) for purposes of reversing vaginal dryness.

Stimulating Sexual Thoughts

A good method to try involves stimulating sexual thoughts. The sexual excitement is totally mental. It takes the female body much longer than the male body to warm up due their Yin nature. Mental/sexual stimulation is necessary as a precursor to the sex act because it causes vaginal secretions to secrete for purposes of vaginal penetration.

For about 10 minutes daily, visualize erotic thoughts, thoughts of physical sexual foreplay. Don’t feel this is silly or that you’re silly for doing such. Don’t be shy. Use your mind to help yourself reverse vaginal dryness. Use your mind to become sexually aroused.
