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.

She covers all ages of female, 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 therapeutics commonly accessible to you and your family, how to find them, and the best ways to use them.

She 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.
