Things that disrupt the Vaginal Ecosystem

Welcome to part one of the “How to Have a Healthy Vagina Series”.

In this recent podcast episode, I dive deep into things that disrupt the vaginal ecosystem, and provide you with guidance on how to address these things holistically. 

For the sake of this series, I will be calling the vagina the yoni.

Yoni is the Sanskrit word for sacred space. 

I’ve used it for years, but in case you’re not familiar, I want to put you on.

I want to remind you that the vagina is indeed an ecosystem. When we look at ecosystems, we understand that we need to support them and approach them holistically.

Our Yoni is a sacred ecosystem filled with bacteria, that when healthy – contributes to excellent reproductive health.

Most of my customers come to me because they are suffering from Chronic Yeast and BV.

They are stressed about staying in the vicious cycle of getting BV, taking antibiotics, then getting a yeast infection, and then repeating the entire cycle over and over again.

Here’s the thing, when you have poor gut health, and a poor vaginal microbiome – you will always be at risk for vaginal imbalances.

Especially if you’re someone who has a history of chronic antibiotic use.

The yoni, as a holistic ecosystem is filled with a lot of great bacteria. I know you’ve all heard about probiotics and maybe you’ve even tried using probiotics for yoni health or yeast control.

I’ve found that it’s mostly hit and miss for most women, simply because – when you consider the yoni as an ecosystem – you can’t just add a single strain of bacteria to an ecosystem and think all of its issues will be fixed.

You have to address and identify the root.

As an Ancestral Medicine Woman, Master Herbalist and Traditional Naturopath, if I don’t encourage you to address the root cause, I am not doing my job.

I promise, I’ll teach you all about everything holistic health in Everything is Medicine.

For now, for the first part of this series, let’s talk about things that disrupt the yoni ecosystem.

If you’re doing any of these things – I want you to promise me that you will take intentional action and make changes today.

Things that disrupt the Yoni Ecosystem:

• Poor Digestive Health
• Parasites
• Toxic Menstrual Care (Tampa and always)
• Drugs and Antibiotics
• Toxic Unnatural Chemical Feminine Care Products – like Summer’s Eve (If you’re not using Anuuma Apothecary, I need you to make the switch immediately – use code Holistic to save on your first order)
• A poor diet high in both FAT and Refined Sugar
• Poor Hygiene
• Not enough Air (I tell my students all the time, the only time I wear panties is when I have my cycle. Otherwise, my yoni is free and breathing).
  •  I used to struggle with chronic yeast. I have not had an issue since fixing all of these things and using natural products like Goddess or Queen’s Wash and Queen’s Oil from Anuuma Apothecary – which is why I created these products – and why they have helped thousands of women overcome the vicious cycle.
• Chemical Lubes
• Hormonal Imbalances
• Poor Sex routines – if you are not peeing after sex, not choosing quality partners, and not using queen’s oil to help prevent bacteria, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

I go deep into solutions in the podcast episode and on my blog, you can listen to the full episode below. 

I’ll be back next week with part two of the series. 

You deserve incredible, impeccable yoni health. 

I love you, 

Anuuma 

P.S. Remember this, a healthy woman, is a fertile woman – even if you do not want to have children.
