Publisher's Synopsis
The 'go to' self-help hand book for all aspects of vaginal health and ecology.
In this book, medical herbalist Kathie Bishop draws on her passion and clinical experience of helping women achieve vaginal health and comfort following chronic or recurrent issues.
Often a subject that causes shame, Kathie's mission is not only to break down that taboo and normalise vaginal health, but also provide good solid information that everyone can draw on to understand and navigate this previously mysterious space.
Using natural methods based on research, experience and tradition, this handbook aims to help in a variety of uncomfortable, but common, situations. It's Your Power Portal covers all ages of female life, from neonate to post menopausal, and the conditions commonly experienced at each stage, bringing in information from the newly advancing field of the vaginal microbiome mapping, as well as commonly accessible therapeutics, and the best ways to use them.
Kathie is careful to point out when you should get yourself or a loved one to see a health professional, and also brings in women's voices and experience to make this a truly rounded, accessible and useful compendium.
