In this episode, we join Tamar and Dr. Charity Hill for another conversation on pelvic pain and the growing interest in CBD suppositories as a natural, comfort-focused option. We explore how CBD suppositories differ from other forms of CBD by being applied directly to the area of concern. This localized approach allows cannabinoids to be absorbed closer to where they are used, which may support the body’s natural response to inflammation and muscle tension, without some of the systemic effects some women report with oral products. We also discuss why suppositories are often considered by individuals navigating conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful periods, and postpartum or menopausal changes.

Throughout the discussion, we emphasize education and informed decision-making. We break down what to look for in high-quality CBD products, including sourcing, formulation, and third-party lab testing, while also addressing common questions and misconceptions. Safety considerations, dosage awareness, and paying attention to individual responses are recurring themes, along with the importance of having open conversations with qualified healthcare providers.

Listeners can expect to gain a clearer understanding of how CBD suppositories may fit into broader pelvic wellness conversations, why they are gaining attention as a natural option for support, and how some women are exploring alternative approaches to improve comfort and overall quality of life. The conversation aims to empower women with knowledge, validation, and practical insights into an often-overlooked area of health.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Understanding pelvic pain and why it is often overlooked or misunderstood
  • How CBD suppositories work for localized pelvic relief
  • Conditions that may benefit, including endometriosis and pelvic floor tension
  • Differences between suppositories and other forms of CBD
  • Safety considerations and choosing high-quality CBD products
  • Listening to the body and individual responses to treatment
