Today we’re going to talk about natural alternatives for dyspareunia. This condition can cause pain during intercourse, pelvic exams, and horse riding, or while inserting a tampon or sitting too long. My opinion is that this condition is typically caused by oxalates in the vaginal area. Oxalates can form crystals that can look like razor blades and are behind other conditions, as well, like kidney stones and gout. Thankfully, there are natural remedies for dyspareunia and certain foods that may be helpful. You may also want to avoid high-oxalate foods for a while to help determine if oxalates could be involved. High-oxalate foods to avoid if you have dyspareunia: • Spinach • Beets • Grains • Beans • Potatoes • Almonds • Peanuts • Kiwi • Wheat germ • Soy • Xylitol • Blackberries • Chocolate • Eggplant • Black pepper • Swiss chard • Rhubarb • Figs • Turmeric Try consuming dairy with any of the above foods to help reduce the effects of oxalates. Foods that are okay to consume if you have dyspareunia: • Meat • Fish • Seafood • Eggs • Dairy • Fats • Arugula • Cabbage • Avocado • Cauliflower • Lettuce • Saturated fats The best natural remedies for dyspareunia: 1. Vitamin B6 (P5P form) 2. Calcium citrate (before bed) 3. NAG (n-acetyl-glucosamine) 4.

XXX Tech by SOVRYN Dr. Brian Sovryn The crossroads between technology, sensuality, and metaphysics - and the longest running anarchist podcast in the world! Brought to you by Dr. Brian Sovryn. Al-Quran In English Dr. Soha The complete Quran translation in English, Narrated by Dr. Soha. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
