Everyone knows the myth of Demeter and Korah. According to the story, when the daughter of the goddess in charge of the earth's crops descends into the underworld, her mother, in despair, sterilises the earth by wrapping it in a winter cloak. When Kora returns to her mother, the earth blossoms and harvests anew - thus, according to the myth, the natural cycle of the earth's seasons is created. Spring is a time associated with fertility, nature, new life. It is also a time for spring cleaning. In spring, we are also very often ripe for major decisions.

Spring, ah, it's you!

Longer days, more sunshine and higher temperatures give us the energy to act. It is no wonder that we often add resolutions to our calendars in spring: to enrol in a new course, to practise sport regularly, to shape our body before getting into a bikini in summer, to go to the beautician. In spring, our femininity also shines through. We fall in love more easily, are more willing to bare our bodies, decide to wear more colour in our clothes and bold make-up; in a word, we blossom. It is therefore a good idea to take care of yourself comprehensively in the spring cleaning of your wardrobe. In addition to spring facial and body treatments, take care of your feminine intimacy. Check when you last had a cytology test; if a year has passed since your last test, do not hesitate to have it as soon as possible.

If you are still not in the habit of having your breasts examined, resolve with spring to do so regularly and stick to this resolution regardless of the season. Eat spring vegetables, which will provide your body with a natural dose of vitamins and minerals. Don't let springtime infections of the intimate area defeat you either - with the rising temperatures, bacterial and fungal infections are easier to come by. Tight trousers and an active lifestyle, meanwhile, increase the likelihood of chafing. In spring, go natural and replace plastic underwear with natural underwear. Remember, however, that even cotton underwear will not allow your skin to breathe if you continue to use airless, artificial inserts. Make sure that the sanitary pad has a cotton surface. Use, for example, Natural Lady sanitary pads as a preventative measure and for infections in the intimate area. Their natural cotton surface has been soaked in a herbal extract, which protects the delicate feminine intimate areas from bacterial and fungal attack and helps to heal minor infections and abrasions.

Thrive in health

Spring is conducive to vaginal infections and inflammation. High temperatures as well as tight clothing and an active sex life mean that women are more likely to develop abrasions and bacterial and fungal infections. However, the symptoms of these problems are often underestimated by women. Meanwhile, untreated infections can spread to higher parts of a woman's reproductive system - within the uterus and adnexa. This is why prevention and prompt response to health problems are so important in the care of women's intimate health. It is imperative that both the woman and her sexual partner observe the rules of hygiene.
