Vaginal dryness tends to occur in older women, women in their 40's and 50's, but it is not uncommon to have cases of women in their 20's and 30's who suffer from vaginal dryness.
 Physically speaking, vaginal dryness results from a hormonal imbalance. It is a defect of the endocrine and reproductive system. Anything dealing with bodily secretions is endocrinal in nature or pertaining to the endocrine system.
By nature, the female vagina is a self-lubricating orifice. The vagina naturally lubricates after sexual arousal or stimulation that is usually brought on by either thought or foreplay.
The vagina naturally becoming lubricated is the female body's way of making the statement that it is ready for penetration. This is the major reason a woman's vagina lubricates itself. Lubrication helps the male penis insert into the vagina and also helps to protect the vaginal tissues from the effect of stroking.
Without a doubt, physically speaking vaginal dryness points to a hormonal imbalance (deficiency), usually lack of the female hormone progesterone, but also, lack of the female hormone estrogen or perhaps a lack of both hormones in some cases. Either way, it's a hormonal imbalance, and of course, other things are also at play, i.e. mineral deficiency, emotional issues, psycho-somaticism, etc.
One a deep level of understanding, when the vagina fails to naturally lubricate, it's a sign that the woman does not want to have sex (due to some deep emotional issue, perhaps pertaining to her past pertaining to something of a sexual nature) or that the woman should not be engaging in sex (despite her desire to engage in it) because there is something in her sexual belief system that needs to be revised.
Natural vaginal lubrication is necessary for penile penetration and if there's a problem with the vagina becoming lubricated (which it naturally does when a woman is sexually stimulated), then it's a sign that sex should not be taking place until a problem is first addressed, and that problem could be physical, mental, emotional, psychological, or even etheric. Basically, the body in general and the vagina in particular is conveying a message.
Many women, to block themselves sexually, unconsciously (or consciously) program their vagina to be thrown off, which can be manifested in vaginal dryness, vaginal discharge, vaginal sores, etc. When a woman doesn't want to have sex, many times their bodies respond to this feeling and develop a health issue that prevents them from engaging in sex.
The majority of females do not enjoy painful, burning penile penetration (which can rupture the delicate and soft vaginal tissue and lead to bleeding). Painful, burning penetration results from have sex while the vagina is not lubricated. This can justify a woman in not wanting to have sex in the future.
I have also noticed that some women who harbor anger (especially at males and from past relationships) tend to experience vaginal dryness, kind of like a subtle self-programming in response to their anger at males.
What You Should Know About Commercial Brand Lubricants
I am not an advocate of commercial brand lubricants for any purpose or reason, regardless of the sexual act or activity. Many synthetic-based lubricants can cause further vaginal dryness. Synthetic man-made lubricant is not the solution for a dry vagina. A dry vagina means something is out of balance with the female endocrine and sexual reproductive system.
'K-Y Personal Lubricant' is marketed as: "natural feeling liquid," but how can this be when the product is UNNATURAL? The real or true "natural feeling liquid" is the natural secretion of the vagina when sexually stimulated or aroused.
Now I know some of you who may be into anal sex are saying to yourselves after reading this: "No lubrication!" "Is he crazy?" Listen; what you do sexually is your prerogative in which I respect under free will. All I'm saying is you'd be wise to avoid unnatural products out there regardless of your activity. That's all! There are plenty of natural alternatives such as botanical oils, i.e. olive oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and grape seed oil to name a few. Remember, ideally you should be able to eat anything you put on your body and if you can't, it doesn't belong on your body. Period!
Many commercial brand lubricants contain PETROLEUM that is derived from rocks. It has no busy on or in your body! Spermacide is also made from petroleum, so if you desire to get pregnant, you may want to remember this. In fact, you should!
NEVER use Vaseline either! Vaseline is 100% PETROLEUM, hence it's name, Petroleum Jelly. There is a good alternative to petroleum jelly today that is sold in health food stores. It's called 'Un-Petroleum Jelly.' It feels and looks just like petroleum jelly. It can be used for everything petroleum is used for. However, I still recommend botanical oils for lubrication purposes, even over 'Un-Petroleum Jelly.'
Dherbs.Com Yoni Lubricant is an all-natural healthy alternative to commercial brand lubricants that is made with pure botanical oils and has absolutely no adverse side effects.
If your vagina is not secreting it's natural vaginal secretions, the solution is not purchased! The answer is not found in a bottle of anything. The answer/solution to your situation or problem is ALWAYS found in you - YOURSELF! Products can only assist you in healing. Products in and of them selves cannot heal you. Never forget this!
Reversing Vaginal Dryness Naturally
No herb helps to reverse vaginal dryness like Saw Palmetto Berry. Saw Palmetto helps to stimulate natural lubrication in the vagina. It can be combined with False Unicorn Root for maximum effect. Six capsules (or 3 cups of tea) of Saw Palmetto Berries daily should suffice (along with change in thought process, diet, lifestyle, and attitude) for purposes of reversing vaginal dryness.
Dherbs.Com products that can assist you in reversing vaginal dryness include Female Hormonal Formula, Female Health Tea, Aphrodisiac Inspirant, Khemetian Gold, and the Total Woman Cleanse.
 A good exercise to perform involves stimulating sexual thoughts. Normally, when a woman is sexually excited, she gets wet between the legs. The sexual excitement is totally mental - in the mind. I advise males during sexual consultations: "First mental stimulation, then vaginal penetration!" It takes the female body much longer than the male body to warm up due their Yin nature. Mental/sexual stimulation is necessary as a precursor to the sex act because it causes vaginal secretions to secrete for purposes of vaginal penetration.
Foreplay is perhaps more powerful than mental-sexual stimulation, though I personally believe they both should be on the agenda before coitus. First: Mental-sexual stimulation ('mind sex' as rapped about by conscious rappers, 'Dead Prez'); Second: Intention (set your intention for the sex act) or prayer; this comes after you know for sure you will be engaging in the sex act; Third: Foreplay; Fourth: Coitus or intercourse!
For about 10 minutes daily, visualize or mentalize erotic thoughts, thoughts of physical sexual foreplay. Don't feel this is silly or that you're silly for doing such. Don't be shy (especially you Virgo females out there, naturally shy creatures). Use your mind to help yourself reverse vaginal dryness. Use your mind to become sexually aroused.
You are doing this for purposes of triggering your own natural vaginal secretions. It is an exercise! That's all! It should not lead to masturbation but if it does, it's okay, especially if it leads you back to natural vaginal lubrication or reclaiming the ability to produce such. Always go with the natural flow of things. Masturbation is not deleterious to the health of females like it is for males. See our "Masturbation" article to learn more about this.
In closing, masturbation should not become a habit for it is the exception, not the rule! Also, masturbation is not the remedy for vagina dryness. It may help restore the function predicated upon the visualization exercises supra, but it is not the general solution or remedy.
