A group of Italian
doctors in Turin performed a double-blind study on 60 women with
vaginal dystrophy using a herbal cream that contained phytostimolin
derived from
Triticum vulgare - better known as
wheatgrass. There were
two groups differentiated on whether they had undergone previous surgery or not. The groups
showed an overall efficacy of 70% and 90%. The researchers attested
to the "absence of side effects and the good level of tolerance" of the
cream they used.
Dr. Chris' comment:
Vaginal dystrophy usually affects menopausal women. A common condition, it is most often
due to reduced estrogen levels. It can cause dryness, itching, burning,
irritation and sometimes post-coital bleeding due to its effects on the cervix and vaginal wall. It is usually treated
with supplemental estrogen which is not always effective and can cause
adverse effects.
Like this research group, I also find wheatgrass
Skin Recovery Cream can be effective for
this condition. Why would it work? We don't know exactly, but if we
look at growth factors and their ability to cause cell
regeneration and re-growth, and, knowing that wheatgrass in some way causes
rapid regeneration of cells as seen for example in wound healing,
it probably makes sense. Anti-aging remedies don't only work on the skin!
