Most of us will get a Urinary Tract Infection at some point in our lives; they’re part and parcel of being human. EmpressBody often get asked their tips to help clear UTIs up quickly and how to prevent them. There are lots of home remedies and theories out there on the internet but a UTI should be treated by listening to your body and using the healing properties that nature provides. EmpressBody is a holistic company that highly recommends seeking alternatives to western med

EmpressBody are frequently asked by goddesses, “Should I diet to help with PCOS?”, and EmpressBody’s answer is that you should always try and have a healthy, balanced lifestyle, but we do not believe in faddy diets. One of the symptoms of Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome can be weight gain and a difficulty shedding weight due to an imbalance in hormones. Many women find this distressing, especially if exercise does not seem to be helping, but EmpressBody has done some research i

It’s one of those things that you’re not taught in school and most of us would feel uncomfortable asking about it, but what do you do after sex? How do you help your yoni out after the hustle and bustle of the bedroom? EmpressBody knows that many of us wonder this – what’s the best way to clean up your yoni’s natural lubricants, any extra lubricant you may have used, residue from condoms or semen if you and your partner don’t use them? EmpressBody has dedicated a lot of time

To celebrate Kwanzaa, EmpressBody will be having a 7 day long sale! Use the code: KWANZAA18 (valid until 1st January 21019) Kwanzaa is an African-American celebration of life from 26 December to 1 January. Dr. Maulana Karenga introduced the festival in 1966 to the United States as a ritual to welcome the first harvests to the home. Dr. Karenga created this festival for Afro-Americans as a response to the commercialism of Christmas. In fact one might say that Kwanzaa has simil

As 2018 winds to an end many of us are tired and looking forward to a nice break over the festive season. But many of us might be mistaking fatigue for signs that our body is crying out for a detox! Chemicals and toxins in your environment can slowly build-up and wreck havoc on your hormones and other functioning systems in your body. A gentle detox can give your liver a rest and help it do its main job of cleaning these harmful contaminants from your body. If you have 4-5 of

Vaginal dryness can be such a pain! It can cause discomfort during the day and can put a damper on your sex life – and nobody wants that! Many women have sensitive mucosa that can often become inflamed and irritated by the presence of soap. Much like soap can remove oils from your skin and cause irritation and dryness, soap can strip the vulva of its natural oils as the vulva is naturally moist. This can cause significant irritation and it should also be noted that soaps can

Before we begin, it is so important to point out: your yoni, vagina, flower or whatever you like to call her, it’s meant to smell! Never let sexual partners or commercial advertising tell you that you’re supposed to smell like flowers down there! In fact, a healthy yoni will emit different smells throughout the month; sometimes stronger sometimes milder during different parts of your menstrual cycle (and this is also true for goddesses who experience irregular periods of do n

Many of our goddesses get in touch with severe complications from having endometriosis undiagnosed for a long time. It can go undiagnosed for a long time because a lot of women experience difficulty communicating the severity of their symptoms and this can be brushed under the rug of ‘women’s problems’ or part and parcel with menstruation. But it is not! Recently the BBC published an article about one woman’s 7 year struggle to get a proper diagnosis and detailed how diagnosi

EmpressBody has noticed that many women feel that their MDs are very quick to put them on the contraceptive pill if they suffer from PCOS, Fibroids, Endometriosis or irregular or painful periods, but many women feel uncomfortable with the idea of synthetic hormones controlling or affecting their bodies or suffer from unexpected side effect like extra hair growth or depression or might be trying for a baby. Many goddesses get in touch with EmpressBody to ask us how best to com

Many of us are rightfully cautious of a condition known as Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), which is a particularly nasty, and potentially life-threatening illness commonly believed to be caused by using tampons for too long. EmpressBody has decided to shed some light on this condition, to teach and to inform goddesses out there who may be worrying about the wrong things. Many women express trepidation and caution towards using the EmpressBody Detox Pearls as we instruct that you

So many goddesses contact us asking: “What’s the difference between the EmpressBody Detox Pearls and the Empowering Wand?” Well the answer is, it depends on whether or not you need your EmpressBody products to help you with a specific ailment or issue. The general rule is that the Detox Pearls give a deeper detox than the Empowering Wand, which lasts up to 6 months, whereas one pearl lasts for 2-3 days but is very powerful. EmpressBody has put together a helpful guide to show

Myth: Every vagina has the same pH, and hence requires the same amount of care. This is absolutely UNTRUE. Vaginal pH varies from person to person and even day to day, depending on your cycle, your diet and many other external factors. pH refers to the vagina’s acidity level. Vaginas naturally contain a balance of different bacteria (lactobacilli - these are the good guys!) that protect the vagina from external bacteria and fungus. They provide natural disinfectants and help

Pubic hair is one of those things where there is a weird expectation that comes out of nowhere and can be quite difficult to discuss. Pubic preferences have changed over the decades and many women are confused by standards set by the porn industry, swimwear and fashion advertising and westernized standards of beauty. Other women prefer it for hygiene reasons or for sexual sensitivity. EmpressBody only advocate self-confidence and natural beauty – if that means you are au natu

If ovarian cysts are so common and often go away on their own, why are we writing about it? Well, here at EmpressBody we receive a lot of requests and questions from goddesses who experience complications or issues due to ovarian cysts – they’re not so simple as they first appeared! Often, yes, they don’t require any treatment or holistic relief, but sometimes they can rupture or become large enough to block off the blood supply to an ovary – yikes! EmpressBody want all godde

Absorbing harsh chemicals into your skin can cause build ups of toxins in unlikely places, like inside the womb, for example. Some of these toxins are unavoidable, like from environmental pollution if you live in an urban environment, or some meat produce, but where you would not expect to be absorbing harsh chemicals into your body would be your most intimate of intimates, your vagina or yoni. And yet for so many Goddesses this is the case due to the type of sanitary items t

Sticky and sometimes surprising, vaginal discharge is here to stay. Vaginal discharge is normal – most women and girls get it. It's a fluid or mucus that keeps your yoni clean and moist, and protects it from infection. Normal discharge is clear, smooth or creamy and has a very slight smell that can be described as sweet or soapy. Sometimes if it gets in your underwear and gets exposed to air it may turn a little crusty, but this is normal too. The only thing you should look o

Recently a goddess suffering from Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) got in touch with EmpressBody, saying: “Recently I have been having bout after bout of BV. It’s affecting my life in every area, I think about it work, when out shopping, seeing my friends …. It’s ruining my relationship with my husband and I don’t know what to do! I’ve been placed on so many different rounds of prescription medications to try and help clear it up and it just won’t go away. I’m losing it. I can’t beli

Your menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of your last period to the start of your next period. Your period is considered irregular if it's longer than 38 days or if the duration varies. Irregular Periods are a pain. They can throw off your life because you can end up either constantly expecting it or always caught unprepared. Favourite undies get ruined and frequently women are plagued by creeping, nasty thoughts about their woman-hood being somehow inferior to othe

This is a very sensitive subject at the forefront of everyone’s mind, but this week is Sexual Health Week and everyone is looking for answers and holistic treatments. It is important to state that you should always consult your doctor if you experience symptoms such as excessive itching, swellings, bumps or blisters appearing, unusual discharge or blood. These are common symptoms of some very serious STIs that need medical attention. You should also listen to your body and re
