What CBD is, and why a pessary makes sense.
CBD is one of the most talked-about plant compounds for comfort and calm. Here is how it works, and why local delivery to the pelvis may be more useful than swallowing a capsule.
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is a natural compound found in hemp, a variety of the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive — it will not get you high.
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors involved in pain, inflammation, mood and stress responses. Researchers are still studying exactly how it helps, but many people report feeling calmer and more comfortable when using it regularly.
Why a pessary?
When you swallow CBD oil or a capsule, it passes through your stomach and liver before reaching your bloodstream. Much of the active compound is lost along the way.
A vaginal pessary bypasses digestion. It dissolves at body temperature and releases CBD close to the muscles and tissues of the pelvis. That means more of it reaches the area you want to support, and less travels around the rest of your body.
Not all CBD is the same
Amorae Intimate uses EU-GMP ingredients and is compounded in a licensed UK pharmacy. Every batch is tested for potency and purity, and the product is THC-free. That matters when you are putting something in your body every day.
