Carola Wellhistic® Lubricant Recipe for Menopausal Women

Imagine nurturing your body with nature’s finest ingredients—designed to restore balance, ease discomfort, and honor the changes that come with menopause. This all-natural, luxurious lubricant is formulated to moisturize, soothe irritation, and protect against infections, ensuring comfort and confidence during this transformative phase.

Ingredients

2 tbsp coconut oil (organic, cold-pressed) – A natural moisturizer with antifungal and antibacterial properties, providing long-lasting hydration and helping to alleviate vaginal dryness associated with menopause.
2 drops bergamot essential oil – Supports vaginal health with antimicrobial benefits while uplifting the senses, which can be particularly beneficial during menopause.
1 drop myrrh essential oil – A powerful healer that soothes inflammation and strengthens delicate tissues, aiding in menopause symptom relief.
2 drops lavender essential oil – Calms irritation, promotes relaxation, and enhances intimacy, helping to manage menopause-related stress.
1 tsp aloe vera gel (optional) – Adds a cooling, hydrating effect for extra comfort, which is especially important for menopausal women experiencing vaginal dryness.
1-2 drops vitamin E oil (optional) – Boosts moisture and supports skin elasticity, helping to maintain vaginal health during menopause.

💡 Important: Use only the highest quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils to ensure purity and safety, especially for sensitive areas. Brands like DoTerra and Young Living are well-known for their stringent testing and commitment to quality. Low-grade essential oils may contain additives or contaminants that can irritate delicate tissues, so always source responsibly.

Instructions

Melt the Coconut Oil – Gently warm the coconut oil in a small, heat-safe bowl using a double boiler or warm water bath.
Incorporate the Essential Oils – Once liquid, stir in the bergamot, myrrh, and lavender oils.
Blend in Optional Add-Ins – If using aloe vera or vitamin E oil, mix well to ensure even consistency.
Cool and Store – Pour the blend into a clean glass jar with a lid and allow it to solidify at room temperature or in the fridge.

How to Use

For Daily Hydration & Comfort:
Apply a small amount (pea-sized) to your clean, dry fingertips.
Gently rub between your fingers until it melts into a smooth, silky texture.
Massage externally around the vaginal opening, labia, and any dry areas.
If using before bed, apply a thin layer for overnight hydration and tissue support, helping to alleviate menopause-related dryness.

For Intimacy & Lubrication:
Warm a dime-sized amount between your fingers before intimacy.
Apply externally to the vaginal area and gently massage for comfort.
For deeper hydration, apply a small amount using clean fingers or a sanitized applicator just inside the vaginal opening.
Safe for use with non-latex materials (Avoid latex condoms, as coconut oil can break them down).

For Soothing Irritation & Preventing Dryness:
Use daily or as needed, especially if experiencing dryness, discomfort, or irritation, which are common menopause symptoms.

For post-intercourse relief, apply a small amount to soothe and rehydrate the area.
To prevent UTIs and infections, apply after showering or before bed for protective moisture, supporting menopausal health.

Benefits & Considerations:
✅ Coconut Oil: Highly moisturizing, antimicrobial, and provides long-lasting glide but not latex-safe.

Always perform a patch test before use to ensure no allergic reaction or irritation.
