In an earlier article, we looked at homeopathic treatments for male sexual dysfunction. Homeopathics also offer treatment options for women experiencing sexual problems. Here are some examples of sexual issues experienced by women, and natural ways to address them.
For many women, vaginal dryness is a problem. In other cases, women may experience vaginismus, in which involuntary spasms of the vaginal muscles make penetration painful. Often, sexual problems arise because a woman’s male partner does not understand that women may take longer than men to become aroused and ready for intercourse. Open communication is important, and a non-toxic, organic lubricant can often be helpful.
