I do not recommend douching for women, especially for purposes of vaginal health maintenance. The vagina is a self-cleansing orifice and is programmed at the cellular level to cleanse itself.
One problem I have come to notice about the Western females' vagina is that it is greatly inundated by the hands of man. In other words: the concoctions of man.
Man makes products from unnatural substances and materials and then recommends (via advertising) that women use them, and most women who are not properly educated on the protocols of feminine health and hygiene, use these products and eventually to their own detriment.
Douching with commercial brand douche solutions contain many insalubrious chemicals that have no business inside the female vagina. What goes into the vagina is absorbed via the tissues of the vagina.
The Western female's vagina is greatly polluted with various harsh man-made products from douching solutions, deodorant sprays, feminine wash solutions, deodorant powder and talc, and vaginal antifungal products to name a few.
Many of these products supra contain harmful synthetic ingredients such as mineral oil, ammonium laureth sulfate, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, ammonium chloride, cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium EDTA; methylchorosothiazolinate, methylisothiazolinone, petroleum-based colors (i.e. Blue Lake #1), and fragrance, an umbrella term that is highly suspect as it hides the ingredients of what the product really is.
Many of these ingredients supra are carcinogenic (cancer causing). No wonder vaginal cancer occurs at the rate it does amongst Western women. When the vagina is the seat or cause of your death, it points to a deeper significance. It points to the fact that your fatal disease originated in the area of female-based issues, i.e. Goddess-ness, femininity, Yin-ness, woman-ness, etc. The unconscious female neglects her Goddess-ness (usually due to attempting to compete on some level with males, consciously or unconsciously, which alters her feminine based energy and transmutes it into male or masculine-based energy which adversely throws off her hormonal system and effects her emotions and thus leads to reproductive area diseases).
There is a saying that successful women are the sickest women, and this is usually true of them due to them compromising their femininity or feminine-ness and Goddess-ness in order to succeed in the corporate and business world.
In my opinion (as a male), women need to start pursuing careers in fields that are conducive and considerate to feminine/Goddess qualities, health, and well-being and start shunning masculine, yang-centered, testosteronic, militaristic based fields of endeavors that are changing women's natural emotional and hormonal state, and in some cases, their physiology.
All disease originates on the energy level and Western females are engaging in fields that alter their natural feminine/Goddess energy and to their own detriment.
Many females (just like many males) are losing their health in the pursuit of wealth. And many, once they attain wealth, due to their female reproductive pathologies, have to spend most or all of their wealth on their health. Funny or strange, isn't it?
Women need to be conscious when they are on the paper (money) chase. You have to stop periodically to pamper yourself, in a therapeutic fashion, as I'm not talking about getting your hair and nails done or going to the spa. While this may be pampering and luxuriating, I'm talking about performing detoxification of the body, addressing the hormonal system, getting a therapeutic massage (deep tissue or lymphatic), balancing your chakras or energy centers, etc.
Things that can help balance a woman while on the paper chase include yoga, pilates, tai chi, qi chong, meditation, acupuncture, chakra balancing, aura photography, reiki, therapeutic massage, colonics, etc.
Dherbs.Com created an awesome Total Woman Cleanse that addresses the female hormonal system (in addition to the colon) that helps reboot the hormonal system and keep it balanced in addition to targeting female reproductive pathologies, i.e. menstrual irregularities, endometriosis, fibroid tumors/cysts, polycystic ovarian syndrome, vaginal yeast infection, and vaginal discharges to name a few. It even helps the female that needs or desires to release weight (c. 10-20 pounds) do so (by working on the colon and helping to release compacted waste matter).
Being technical, women should not even be on the mad paper chase (nor should men or anybody for that matter) as today the energy on the planet and in the Universe supports abundance: letting your abundance, wealth, prosperity, and affluence automatically and naturally FLOW you to you, which is done when you FIRST seek the Kingdom of God (which is the desire you have in your heart to do what you most desire to do in life) and divine Righteousness. God wants you to do whatever it is in your heart that you desire to do. God wants your happiness, your joy, your bliss! This is what God wants for you.
Chasing money has a tendency to make unconscious individuals into whores or prostitutes, selling not only a piece of ass to attain something of material value to further inflate the lower ego, but also selling out your soul - your dignity, pride, ethics, morals, scruples, and principles.
In my opinion, there is one exception pertaining to douching and that is when there is a dire situation whereby the vagina is greatly inflamed and a constant itch is unbearable. Drastic measures should be taken to get immediate relief. In such a case, I would advise a woman to douche with an herbal solution of herbs that look like the lining of the vaginal mucous membranes following the Doctrine of Signatures which states if an herb looks like a part of the body it is good for that part of the body. Herbs that look similar to the vaginal lining of the mucous membranes include Red Raspberry Leaf, Marshmallow, Lemon Verbena, and Mullein Leaf; herbs considered "mucilaginous" in nature (meaning they thicken and slime up in water).
Astringent herbs such as Witch Hazel Bark and White Oak Bark are also good to douche with for immediate relief.
I only recommend douching (with herbs only) for purposes of immediate relief, as I do not like to witness people suffering (though suffering is always very necessary as it conveys a much needed message when you have become disconnected from Source/Higher Self).
A vaginal inflammation with an accompanying itch can be quite unbearable, humiliating, embarrassing, and miserable and a female should take every available measure to get her-self some instant and immediate relief.
Dherbs.Com products that can assist in addressing and healing vaginal complaints include the Full Body Detox (20-day program) and Total Woman Cleanse (20-day program designed specifically for women). It is a good idea to perform both kits back to back. Individual Dherbs.Com products (formulas) that can assist in addressing and healing vaginal complaints include Yoni Formula, Moon Cycle Formula, Female Hormonal Formula, Candida Buster, Mucus Buster Formula, and Acid Buster.
Women would be wise to avoid the use of products such as Vagisil, Summer's Eve, Monistat, Miconazole 7, and Massengil. These products do not heal, but harm! Too many objects are going into and being done to the Western woman/female's vagina: inundation of toxic male sperm, tampons, condoms (male and female versions); abortion tools, pap smear tools; IUD (intra-uterine devices); electric sex toys (vibrators), dildos; K-Y Jelly, vaginal lubricants, vaginal deodorant powder/talc and sprays; douche solutions/vaginal washes, and vaginal antifungal medication.
By all means, avoid douching. Douching disrupts the natural pH balance of the vagina, which is naturally acidic by nature (c. 6.8 pH, which is a healthy acidic state). But use of all the products supra, tight clothing in the crotch area, and daily diet greatly lowers the pH balance of the vagina, which in turn leads to a host of diseases and complaints which is pretty common (more than you think or may know) in the average female.
Never in the history of the planet have females (girls and women) had so many complaints about and diseases with their vaginas. And as males (and lesbian females too), let's not even think about all the 'eating out' (cunnilingus; oral sex) that has been and is being performed on these toxic vaginas. In more ways than one, you are what you EAT!
