The steam from the herbal tea rises and absorbs into your skin & orifice. This steaming treatment stimulates the production of hormones to maintain uterine health, aids regular menstrual cycles, helps correct digestive disorders while soothing the nervous system. The natural antibiotic and anti-fungal properties are said to help maintain internal health as well as keeping your skin looking young. (30 min: $50. Series of 6: $180.) It’s a douche, folks. A $50 douche made with mugwort and 13 other herbs and having a fancy Korea...

But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a ton of things we want to fit in over the next few days: Have some chocolate. Even if it’s just a little square, we’ll be having a bite of chocolate this weekend. It was its birthday, we have to. It would be rude not to. Go camping. We’re ready to head out into the great outdoors and rough it for a night or two. But only with our eco-friendly camping supplies, of course. Read some foodie lit. We love reading about food almost as much as we love eating it (okay, maybe not that much). We might even read some good advice about how to eat well without gaining weight. Have a snack. Sometimes you just feel like snacking. We’ll be ...

Do you know why? #MicroPollDiv_264562 { width: 250px; margin: 0px auto; } Answer to Yesterday’s Question: Human growth hormone (hGH) sounds like a mad-scientist serum that’s used to grow pod people, but it’s actually a naturally-occurring hormone that builds muscle, burns fat, raises energy, and maintains lower blood sugar levels. Arginine, an amino acid, supports healthy levels of hGH. Which foods contain arginine: Pecans, broccoli, cottage cheese, collared greens, or water...

We don’t get it. And funny how a contraceptive device with a giant hole in it can stop us from getting preggers. 2.    Lady Care Vaginal Weights – We don’t care what they are or what they do. We just like having an excuse to say: “Lady Care Vaginal Weights.” ($62.95 from Medgo) Lady Care Vaginal Weights 3. The Pelvic Locator (a.k.a. Pelvic Educator) – Um, no.

But what if there was a better way to stay energized – and also feel femininely fresh? To help, actress and singer Mandy Moore tells us all where we can stick our Red Bull®.

Gill, MD. By day, he’s Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Director of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, and Program Director of fellowship training in female pelvic medicine and surgery at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia. Which is a long-winded way of saying that he’s really smart. By night, he practices yoga, swims, cooks, and builds furniture in his wood shop. Luckily for us, Dr. Gill will contribute regular posts to Blisstree and answer questions related to all of our “lady problems”. Seriously, why do men become gynecologists? (Sorry, but we’ve seen “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle,” and just had to ask.) That certainly comes up once in a while. In medical school, after ...

Research shows that women who douche regularly have more health problems than women who do not.  Women douche for a lot of reasons, but we doctors do not recommend douching.   Douching can change the vaginal flora, and predispose  to vaginal infections as bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections, infertility and even ectopic pregnancy. The vagina is self-cleansing and doesn’t need any treatment.  The vulva and vagina have friendly ...
