I just wanted to post how wonderful this natural remedy is! Having been thrown into menopause in my mid 30s due to depro vera injections (tell everyone not to use! ) And even tying tubes to get off it. Anyways...after experiencing all that comes with that I tried sea buckthorn for only 3 mos and can tell you that it worked amazingly well! No more dryness Caution may cause babies lol. Stopped mainly due to sexual inactivity and plan to buy more! Love it! Also I did get some relief with coconut oil but nothing in comparison to the sea buckthorn! I am 51 and took this for short time at age 49. I feel like the coconut oil was more like an external lube that helped some but didn't last where as the sea buckthorn acted as an internal lubricant. Noticeble difference to both parties 🙂. Knowing this was effective and in only a short time and esp loving that is a natural remedy I highly recommend to all having this issue!
Ps I came to this sight looking for other natural remedies and felt compelled to write review on this. Amazon sells Sea Buckthorn for around 30 bucks and last 3 mos.
Also I did try a vulva balm during this time. Hormone free as I insist on natural remedies from now on. I find them more effective and less damaging. I have no issues with the vulva balm used and cannot speak much to its efficacy. Much like the external coconut oil the vuvla balm seem to work the same. Once again I highly recommend Sea Buckthorn as it worked wonders with absolutely no side effects. It is my personal opinion that coconut oil and vulva balms prob are not necessary if taking Sea Buckthorn. I will purchase again! Also to boot I hear it is good for skin and ezcema suffers. The sea buckthorn is loaded with omega fatty acids having 3,6,7, and 9 in it.
It is unfortunate that I found castor oil this late in life. Though this review has nothing to do with castor oil I would like to mention that this oil is also truly a miracle! I have watched it do great things in my life and my daughter. I only wish I could have found sooner to help my mother that passed from imo HRT, radiation, and chemo. She had a very painful death of uterine cancer and I would have immediately applied castor oil to assist in detoxifying had I known! I'm looking into the baking soda and molasses theory currently for my knowledge on assisting any future issues that may occur in myself or other loved ones. I will continue to promote these 2 oils to anyone who will listen.
Health peace and happiness to all who read. I hope this helps!

Omg the best thing ever. Within a few days, I could tell the difference, within two weeks, it's like I was before I started having this problem. It's inexpensive, doesn't seem to have any negative side effects and has made a huge difference.
I used 1600 once a day (800 mg x 2), I just used the Swanson brand. I will definitely reorder. I can't believe what a difference it made.

I make my own using about a tablespoon of virgin, organic, cold expeller pressed coconut oil, a 400 IU vitamin E capsule, and a drop of tea tree oil. I mix all ingredients together (empty the vitamin E capsule) then refrigerate for a few minutes until the coconut oil has hardened a bit and can be formed. Form the suppositories by using plastic wrap. Place about a 1/4 tsp. of the mixture in a small piece of plastic wrap and gently roll it until you get the thickness and desired shape, then twist the ends of the plastic wrap. I place several in the refrigerator for future use. Insert them as you would a tampon. They have done a wonderful job of healing internal dryness and tearing. I use them as rectal suppositories too.
One tip: use panty liners, because the oil will stain clothing and bedding.
Another thing that helps the achiness is a ice bag filled with warm water placed over the affected areas, especially before bedtime. It takes about 5 days to feel relief.

Daily dosage is 2 pills ea. It depends on the person as to the mg you take. I began with 50mg ea - and am up to 500mg ea. I am well over 65 and just began 4 wks ago Atrophic vaginitis, saw my medical doctor and, she being from both worlds of Asian and American medicine, agreed with me that the homeopathic remedies I use are GOOD. I can't take animal estrogen/progesterone the drugs that medical doctors prescribe. But the 4 herbs above have always worked for me 100%. Since the dryness just began, I doubled up on the pills (once I knew what the problem was) and I also take a medicinal tea for deep vein thrombosis/blood clots keeps it away since 1984. In it are also the hormones I drink this 3 times a day - it is all helping me.
Topical: I am using Vit E Oil, Tea Tree Oil: same amt of both. I use a glass jar to mix and keep it tightly stored in cool area. OR in frig if you want topical coolent used. Can use Coconut oil (keep this in fridge as well) Medical doctor told me AWESOME remedies. because they HEAL the area. I did try the cream she suggested Vagisil it burned a LOT and was the sensitive cream. Took at least 20min to take effect and doesn't heal. Does lubricate the walls and hood. that's all. Going back to my own remedies work to heal the area - and lubricate. I have NOT tried baking soda. This remedy works better.

I am nearly 50 and seem to be approaching menopause. My periods are spacing out. I have had an increase in vaginal irritation over the last several months. At first, I thought I was having trouble with reoccurring bladder infections or yeast infections (which I “treated” with natural methods), but over time noticed a sensation that could be described as either itching or burning in the vaginal area. It was becoming more uncomfortable and the feeling was like that of wearing too tight jeans, even though I was wearing lose fitting clothing. Looking here at Earth Clinic, I realized that I am probably dealing with vaginal atrophy or vaginal dryness due to menopause (Maybe it is the same thing?). Since I had some in the house, the first thing I tried was the herb, Damiana, since it increases blood flow to the reproductive organs. I took one capsule morning and evening. It actually worked! If I forgot to take it, the burning would return. Taking a Damiana capsule would help it to resolve in an hour or less. My symptoms are not as severe as some I have read here. It does not keep me awake, though I would notice it more at night. Well, since Damina was working, I decided I must need “more.” So I started to take some Black Coshosh, which is also good for menopause. Probably I should have left well enough alone. That seems to have made my period last longer, so I am quitting that. For the record, Damiana is not recommended for pregnancy, not that most ladies at 50 are too concerned about that, but if some younger ladies try this for the same symptoms, they should be aware. All your stories are so helpful I thought I would pass along mine. Molly

I heard about someone who cured herself of cervical cancer by douching with bicarbonate of soda solution for 20 mins daily. As I was having problems getting a PAP smear because of vaginal atropy, I started douching with bi-carb. I didn't do the whole 20 mins, just douched. Within a couple of weeks, I was able to have a smear test with no problem and it continued to improve with the douching.
I am a sample of one, so there are no guarantees. Would be interested in others' experiences.
