It hurts when I engage in sexual intercourse with my partner. One thing I have noticed is that my vagina is always dry. Is there a way to make my vagina wet? Can cloves water work?
Yes! Vagina dryness could be a source of pain for a woman whenever sexual intercourse happens.
This condition makes penetration difficult, especially when there is no lubricant. Although, we do not encourage the use of lubricants that are not from natural sources.
But we will not talk about that in this article.
You see, some persons could use lubricant to achieve the kind of wetness that should be in the vagina during intercourse.
But it will never be like the natural condition that the vagina should come with. It is like what we call ‘the follow come effect’ in Nigeria.
Vagina Wetness And Reproduction
The wetness of the vagina does a lot when it comes to reproduction.
From penetration and enjoying of the entire intercourse to happen, they must ride on the back of the vagina wetness.
Basically, beyond married partners enjoying intercourse, there are major reason the wetness has to be there consistently.
The sperm is slimy, but it also needs that smooth flow that vagina wetness offers for it to hit the egg in good time.
Truly, if a woman does not seek solution to her vagina dryness, it could prolong the time it takes for a her to be pregnant (1).
How does this happen?
When the vagina is dry, it means that the woman does not have the correct amount of cervical mucus during sex.
On the other hand, some couples could resort to lubricants which could contain substances that affect sperm motility.
As a result of these issues, many women who have vagina dryness need solution.
Causes Of Vagina Dryness
Indeed, age, vaginal infections, hormonal imbalance, medication side effects and the use of some fertility drugs could cause vagina wetness.
Most of these variables could affect the pH of the vagina and cause dryness or infection to occur.
However, there are a few things that a woman can do to restore the pH level or natural mucus in the vagina.

Cloves Water For Vagina Wetness

It is time to answer this question that we have received from different persons.
Clove water is one of such remedies that we have found to be helpful for vagina dryness.
There is limited scientific backing to this, but women in Africa have used it traditionally for ages.
For instance, we know that infection in the vagina could be the reason you have dry vagina. Candidiasis is one of such infections that could lead to vagina dryness.

A study says cloves oil was found to be extremely successful in the treatment of experimental murine vaginitis in model animals.
“On evaluating various formulations, topical administration of the liposomised clove oil was found to be most effective against treatment of vaginal candidiasis” (2).
Alternatively, cloves water will contain the same compounds in cloves oil, giving the same effect.
In fact, an animal study says it is a good solution to sanitation of fertile eggs (3).
Basically, this buttresses the claim that it could keep infection away from the vagina.
Cloves contains a compound, eugenol that has been reported to demonstrate many therapeutic properties.
Eugenol contains properties that have antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective and even anticancer effects (4).

In short, it says “the clove preparations regardless in the form of an extract or just its essential oil are free from toxicity”.
But there are few things to observe about the use of cloves water for vagina dryness.
