✨ Kewchie Talk: Read Between the Lines, Sis… ✨

Alright besties, gather ‘round real quick because this is one of those posts you gon’ wanna save and not speak on out loud.

Here’s the list.
And Ima say this once: if you read between the lines, you already KNOW what these herbs have been used for since forever. Our grandmothers, midwives, and folk healers weren’t new to nothing.

Now listen closely…

These can be brewed just like any other tea and sipped twice a day until your “issue” minds its business and goes away.

But let me be VERY clear:
Every body is different.
Every womb responds differently.
Every situation has its own timing.

So I CAN’T— and WON’T — tell you how long, how much, or how often. That part is between you, your intuition, and your body. I strongly suggest having a few of these in your kitchen if this is your ministry.

I’m simply giving you alternatives, options, and ancestral knowledge that’s been whispered in women’s circles long before Google and gynecologists tried to pretend they invented everything.

Use your discernment.
Use your voice.
Use your wisdom.

And above all stay informed, stay empowered, and stay in tune with your body.
Nobody protects your womb like YOU do.

Mugwort
— Old-school “women’s wisdom” herb. Shows up whenever cycles need a lil’ nudge.

Cat’s Claw
— Known in certain circles for helping the body “reset” itself when things feel… off rhythm.

Neem
— Been used across cultures to keep things “from sticking” when they ain’t supposed to.

Red Bay Leaf (extremely potent — treat with respect)
— This one is not for the playful or the curious. Historically known to shift things FAST.

Blue Cohosh
— The auntie of old midwives’ toolkits. Shows up whenever a womb needs strong direction.

Parsley
— Don’t let the kitchen fool you. She’s been “helping women” stay on schedule since forever.

Unripe Papaya Seeds
— Caribbean + South Asian girlies know the folklore. Helps the body “not hold on.”

Yarrow
— The quiet regulator. Helps things open, move, and flow like they’re meant to.

Wormseed
— Traditionally used to clear things out. Read between the lines.

Male Fern
— Historically known as a cleanser with… extra side effects for the womb.

Tansy
— Documented for centuries as the herb women reached for when timing mattered most.

Artemesia Abrotanum
— The cousin to mugwort that shows up when cycles need structure and correction.

Bog Myrtle
— Celtic-coded herb. Known to “lighten the load” when the body chooses not to carry something.

✨ Kewchie Talk: Sis… What Worked for Your Friend Might NOT Work for You ✨

Alright bestie, gather ‘round the coochie circle real quick because we need to have a lil’ heart-to-heart 🫶🏾💕

You know how your homegirl swears by something
“That wash cleared me RIGHT up!”
“That pill had me back balanced in 24 hours!”
“That steam fixed everything!”

And then YOU try it…
and your coochie said, “Be for real.”

Here’s why 👇🏾

💚 1. Every Coochie Has Its Own Personality

Your flora, pH, sensitivity, and hormone levels are not the same as hers.
Her coochie might be chill yours might be the dramatic cousin that reacts to EVERYTHING.

💚 2. Y’all Didn’t Start With the Same Issue

She might’ve had BV.
You might have yeast.
She may have had a simple pH imbalance.
Yours might be inflammation or a flora problem.

Same product ≠ same diagnosis ≠ same results.

💚 3. Lifestyle = Everything

Diet, partners, hygiene habits, meds, stress, cycle health all of it matters.
Your body lives a different life than hers, so your va**na responds differently.

💚 4. Hormones Change the Whole Game

If hers are balanced and yours are fighting for their life?
Yeah… that product isn’t going to hit the same.

💚 5. Sensitivity Levels Are NOT Universal

Some coochies can handle anything.
Some coochies only want natural, gentle, herbal, no drama.
Both are normal just different.

💚 6. Healing Isn’t Copy-and-Paste

Your yoni is unique.
Healing has to be customized, intentional, and based on YOUR body not your bestie’s.

💚 The Real Tea:

STOP comparing your va**na to someone else’s results.
You’re not her, her coochie ain’t yours, and your healing journey has to be tailored to YOU.

💚 Need help for YOUR specific issue?

✨ Kewchie Talk: How Medical Racism Shows Up in Vaginal Health

Sis… some of y’all think “medical racism” is only about pain not being believed or doctors rushing Black women out the room. And yes, that’s part of it but the gag is…it runs deeper, especially when it comes to our va**nal health.

Let’s talk about how it shapes the care we receive, the treatments we’re offered, and why so many Black women are stuck in a cycle of BV, yeast, irritation, and “take these antibiotics again” with no real answers.

Because the system wasn’t built for our bodies but WE can break the cycle.

🧬 1. Overexposure to Antibiotics: The Easy Button They Give Us

Let’s be honest:
When a Black woman walks in with discharge, odor, itching, or irritation, the go-to response is:
“Here’s an antibiotic.”
Every. Single. Time.

But here’s the problem:
🔸 Repeated antibiotics destroy your va**nal flora
🔸 They treat symptoms but not the cause
🔸 BV and yeast come back even worse
🔸 Some bacteria become resistant
🔸 And they NEVER teach us how to rebuild our flora afterward

Medical racism shows up because they don’t educate us on prevention or long-term healing. They treat us like we don’t need explanations just prescriptions.

Meanwhile, studies show Black women are more likely to receive antibiotics even when tests are negative or inconclusive. That’s not care… that’s convenience.

🧴 2. Steroid Creams = Another Band-Aid

A lot of Black women dealing with:
• itching
• eczema flare-ups
• irritation from sweat
• HS
• chronic razor bumps
• friction rashes

…end up being prescribed steroid creams.

Here’s the issue:
🔸 Steroids thin the skin over time
🔸 They can worsen discoloration (which we already fight!)
🔸 They almost never address the ROOT cause
🔸 And we’re rarely guided on when to STOP using them

Black skin conditions are often misdiagnosed or brushed off, so steroid creams become the lazy go-to instead of figuring out why your skin is inflamed.

🧠 3. The “Your Symptoms Aren’t That Serious” Problem

Black women are less likely to:
• be listened to
• receive va**nal pH testing
• get swabs or cultures
• be offered lifestyle-based alternatives
• get referrals to pelvic floor therapy
• be checked for underlying hormonal conditions like PCOS or thyroid imbalances

Instead, we get quick fixes, not full assessments.

Medical racism views Black women as “strong,” “tolerant,” and “low maintenance.”
So they assume we’ll “just deal with it.”

But we deserve BETTER.

🧪 4. No One Talks to Black Women About Flora Balance

We’re taught:
“If something’s off, wash more.”
“If something’s itchy, use this cream.”
“If something smells, change your soap.”

BUT THEY NEVER SAY:
• “Your va**na has an ecosystem.”
• “Your flora protects you.”
• “Stress, hormones, diet, and antibiotics affect your pH.”
• “Different bodies need different treatment.”

This is why PH Paradise exists because we’ve been mistreated, undereducated, and misinformed for generations.

🩺 5. Lack of Research on Black Vaginal Health

Medical racism isn’t always loud sometimes it’s silent neglect.

Black women are:
🔸 Underrepresented in research
🔸 Understudied in gynecological trials
🔸 Overlooked when it comes to pain, infections, and chronic va**nal conditions

That means most treatments are not even designed with our biology in mind.

This is why so many girlies say:
“I keep getting BV no matter what…”
“I stop antibiotics then the yeast comes…”
“My doctor said everything ‘looks normal’ but I KNOW something is wrong…”

No one is studying us, so no one is truly treating us.

💚 6. So What Do We Do? We Relearn Our Bodies.

This is why our tribe is growing because we’re breaking the cycle by learning the WHY, not just accepting the prescription.

Here’s how we take our power back:
• Rebuild flora after every antibiotic
• Avoid unnecessary steroids
• Use natural antibacterial herbs (garlic, clove, oregano oil — all in our oils btw 👀)
• Heal your gut & immune system
• Choose non-toxic pads
• Know your triggers
• Track va**nal patterns
• Stop masking symptoms and start healing

✨ Final Word

Medical racism has shaped how Black women are treated, doubted, ignored, and overmedicated in va**nal health for decades.

But once you know better, you do better and that’s why this space exists, sis.

We educate to eliminate, NOT medicate on repeat.
We break cycles, not bank accounts.
We heal ourselves, not hide symptoms.

Kewchie Talk: Doulas, Midwives & Home Births
…and Why Black Mamas Are Taking Their Power Back 🍼✨

Bestie, let’s get into it because the stories in the media last week about Black pregnant women being ignored, dismissed, and flat-out neglected?
Heartbreaking, but not surprising.
We’ve been saying this for YEARS.

Black women are:
• More likely to die during childbirth
• Less likely to be listened to
• More likely to have pain dismissed
• More likely to experience complications that could’ve been prevented

And yet the world acts shocked every time it hits the headlines.
Let’s talk solutions, let’s talk community, and let’s talk about why doulas, midwives, and home birthing are becoming sacred choices again.

👶🏾 What’s a Midwife?

Let’s break it down simple & real:

A midwife is a trained healthcare professional who specializes in:
• Pregnancy care
• Labor & delivery
• Newborn care
• Postpartum support

Unlike OB/GYNs, midwives focus on:
• Natural birth
• Low-intervention birth
• Holistic care
• Building a relationship with YOU, not just your chart

And baby, the benefits? Endless.

🌿 Benefits of Having a Midwife

1. They actually LISTEN.

Midwives take time — your appointments might be 30–60 minutes instead of 7 minutes in a cold, rushed room.

2. They treat pregnancy as a natural process, not a medical emergency.

Hospitals are amazing for high-risk pregnancies.
But for low-risk births?
Interventions are often unnecessary and push your body into distress.

Midwives help you stay calm, connected, and in tune.

3. Lower rates of C-sections, inductions, and complications.

Studies show midwife-led births have:
• Less tearing
• Shorter labor
• Better postpartum healing
• Fewer unnecessary interventions

4. They support YOUR birth plan.

You want to walk, squat, eat, shower, moan, sway, or labor in the tub?
A midwife is like: “Yes sis, do what your body needs.”

5. They center YOU, not the clock.

Hospitals are on timelines.
Midwives are on your time.

6. A whole vibe shift.

Midwives create:
• Calm lighting
• Gentle communication
• Emotional safety
• A slow, intentional birth space

Birth feels like a ceremony again.
Not a crisis.

🧑🏾‍🍼 Doulas vs. Midwives — The Duo You Didn’t Know You Needed

A Doula = your emotional + physical support person.

They help you:
• Advocate
• Breathe
• Move through pain
• Ask the right questions
• Stay grounded

A Midwife = your medical professional.

They:
• Monitor the baby
• Check your vitals
• Handle emergencies
• Deliver the baby
• Make medical decisions

Together?
They’re unstoppable.
A safety team + a love team = your birth experience becomes sacred, protected, and supported.

🏡 Home Births: Not a Trend, a Take-Back

Home births aren’t about being cute in a tub.
For many Black women, it’s about survival and PEACE.

With a midwife-led home birth:
• You know everyone in the room
• You’re never brushed off
• You’re free to move, eat, and labor your way
• Your body isn’t put on a hospital clock
• There’s no pressure for unnecessary interventions

And yes, home birth can be safe for low-risk pregnancies with:
• A certified midwife
• Proper prenatal care
• Emergency plans
• Monitoring throughout pregnancy

This is intentional, not reckless.

🗣️ Why Black Women Are Choosing This Path

Because last week’s media stories were just a glimpse of what happens EVERY DAY:
• Women saying “something feels off” and getting ignored
• Women begging for help postpartum and being dismissed
• Women dying from preventable issues because nobody listened

Doulas + midwives change that.
They treat you like a human, not a number.

📝 Birth Advocacy Script (SCREENSHOT THIS)
• “I don’t feel right, and I need you to take this seriously.”
• “Can this be documented in my chart?”
• “Is this an emergency or a recommendation?”
• “What happens if we wait?”
• “I want my doula/midwife included in this conversation.”

Your voice matters.
Your intuition is real.
Your safety is non-negotiable.

🕯️ Postpartum — The Part Nobody Talks About

Midwives and doulas also help AFTER the baby arrives:
• Checking bleeding
• Watching for clots
• Monitoring mood changes
• Supporting breastfeeding
• Helping your body heal

Black women deserve care beyond the delivery room.
We deserve checks, follow-ups, and someone who actually listens.

🌸 Final Word, Bestie

Black women shouldn’t need a whole strategy team just to survive childbirth but until the system changes, WE protect US.

Doulas protect your peace.
Midwives protect your body.
Home births protect your autonomy.

You deserve:
• A safe birth
• A respected birth
• A supported birth
• A birth you remember with joy, not trauma

And as always…
We are here if you need us……

✨ Kewchie Talk: Mineral Patterns & Your Coochie, Bestie ✨

Let’s get into something the girlies don’t talk about enough: mineral patterns aka the quiet little blueprint behind your hormones, energy, cravings, mood swings, and yes… your va**nal health. 👀💚

Your body ain’t just vibes and chlorophyll, boo. It’s chemistry. And when your minerals get out of whack?
Your coochie will absolutely let you know.

Let’s break it down like homegirls:

💎 What Are Mineral Patterns?

Mineral patterns are the way your body balances major minerals like magnesium, zinc, copper, sodium, potassium, and calcium. Think of them as the squad behind your hormones:
• Zinc = immune system + wound healing
• Magnesium = stress + cramps + inflammation
• Copper = estrogen balance
• Potassium = thyroid + metabolism
• Sodium = adrenals + energy

When one goes up, another usually goes down. And when that seesaw gets shaky?
Your coochie, your mood, and your whole body start acting funny.

🔥 What Mineral Imbalances Look Like in Real Life

Sis… if you’ve been saying any of these, your minerals are screaming:

• “Why am I always tired?”
• “Why does my BV keep coming back?”
• “Why do I crave salt like I’m pregnant?”
• “Why does my period whoop me like I stole something?”
• “Why do I feel anxious for no reason?”
• “Why do I keep getting yeast infections after stress?”

It’s giving mineral imbalance, not “my coochie broken.”
Let’s stop blaming the V for what your adrenals and minerals are doing.

✨ How Mineral Patterns Affect the Kewchie

Let’s talk specifics:

💚 Low Magnesium
➡️ more cramps, more inflammation, more painful periods, harder healing

💛 Low Zinc
➡️ slower healing of BV + yeast
➡️ weaker immunity
➡️ va**nal irritation

🧡 High Copper / Low Zinc
➡️ mood swings
➡️ heavy periods
➡️ recurrent BV
➡️ hormone chaos

💙 Low Potassium
➡️ thyroid sluggish = slow metabolism, constipation, dryness

❤️ Low Sodium (adrenals tired)
➡️ low libido, low energy, emotional burnout

See how it all ties in? Your coochie is basically the messenger for your whole mineral pattern.

🧪 How Do You Fix It?

Start simple, sis:

• Mineral-rich foods (beef, eggs, sea salt, avocado, coconut water)
• Trace minerals in your water
• Chlorophyll for oxygen + detox
• Stop starving yourself trying to lose weight fast
• Address stress — your adrenals are not your workers
• Sleep — yes, sleep HELPS your pH

And remember: You can’t balance your coochie until you balance your minerals and hormones.

💕 Final Word

Your va**na is not “always doing too much.”
She’s telling you what your body’s chemistry has been whispering for months.

And here at PH Paradise, we don’t judge.
We educate, heal, and rebalance from the inside out.
