Everybody’s Talking About Aloe Cadabra® Lubricant – #Magic Moments

Posted on January 22, 2016

Women love lubes, and for good reasons!

It’s difficult to calculate the number of people using vaginal lubricants today, but based on increasing sales, it’s huge. In a survey of 28,869 American adults, 17.4 percent of American households use personal lubricants. We suspect that number is much higher because there are still some who aren’t ready to divulge their secrets about better sex.

We do know why women (and men) love lubes—especially Aloe Cadabra®. It makes sex more pleasurable and eases the discomfort and pain of vaginal dryness. It also renews and replenishes the natural moisture of the vagina.

Twenty years ago, many women were just starting to talk about lubricants and how to use them. Even ten years ago, the topic was something to be discussed privately among BFFs.

Not anymore! Increased interest in sexuality and sexual health, coupled with easy accessibility to information has created a breakthrough in frank sexual discussion. That dialogue includes the benefits of personal lubricants and a new world of comfort and pleasure for women of all ages.

Our customers write us
In the early 2000s, a loving couple began to develop Aloe Cadabra® lubricant and moisturizer on their organic farm. The all-natural formula they created became the first personal lubricant certified to meet the new organic body care standards. Today, Aloe Cadabra@ is becoming even more popular as more women discover its organic and all-natural ingredients, and immediate benefits.

We are honored to receive hundreds of letters and e-mails from our customers about the ways Aloe Cadabra® has improved their lives, without the fear of harmful side effects caused by ingredients in some lubricants. Comments from our loyal and health-conscious customers appear in the Magic Moments section of our website www.mymagicmoment.com.

They lost that loving feeling (and got it back)
One Aloe Cadabra® client, Betty of Wisconsin wrote to us about her situation and the Aloe Cadabra® solution.

“During and after menopause, my body changed, as all women’s do. Hot flashes, dryness, increased sensitivity to stress. My husband and I had lost our spark, our magic and a part of our connection. I was shocked when my son handed me a bottle of Aloe Cadabra. He had read an article about the normal changes people go through [during menopause].

Aloe Cadabra has been a huge help not only during intimate moments but every day. My body feels like it’s back to its natural state. There isn’t any discomfort from dryness and, when the moment strikes, we’re ready to go.”

Betty is just one of millions of examples of women who are opening up about this sometimes confusing and problematic stage of womanhood. They’re talking about the reasons for vaginal dryness, and even more important, the solutions available to recapture the natural moisture that was common in their twenties.

Age is a factor but it’s not the only reason
As you grow older (and more beautiful) nature will steal some of your estrogen as menopause sets in. A decrease in this hormone is the primary cause of vaginal dryness. Sex can be very painful, but that’s where Aloe Cadabra® can help. And menopause isn’t the only reason for dry spells. Anxiety, stress, and extreme emotional circumstances can affect the flow of normal vaginal moisture. Carrina of Oregon wrote us to say this:

“I am only 30, but I have had issues with endometriosis, and pelvic floor tightness. Sex has often been very painful for me, and … the last few times we have tried to have intercourse, I ended up crying from the pain and frustration. I felt like something was wrong with me, and I started to believe that I would never have enjoyable and pain-free sex again.

I have tried so many different lubricants trying to find the solution to dryness during sex. None of them worked. Then, I found Aloe Cadabra. I just want to say a huge thank you for making this terrific product. The consistency is perfect — not thick, not too runny, not tacky, not oily, not oozy. Sex felt so good that I was laughing with joy in the middle of it.

Also, one of the things I love most about Aloe Cadabra is that there is no mess after sex. With other products, it felt impossible to completely get the product off without soaking in a bath. Aloe Cadabra can soak right in, and I know that it’s good for my body.”

Pregnancy and childbirth also contribute to fluctuating hormonal levels and create imbalances in hormones. Read this letter from Dave and Sarah from California. They are in their thirties.

“After the birth of our second child, I was experiencing dryness and postpartum depression. With the extra tasks from having a newborn, time was short, stress was high and the thought of physical intimacy became less appealing, since it was uncomfortable.

As we lost our physical connection, our relationship suffered on every level. We were confused, frustrated and didn’t know that dryness was normal or that there were simple and enjoyable solutions that were designed to work with and support my body’s natural processes.

Aloe Cadabra has changed our lives. It brought the comfort back to sex. As our comfort increased, our natural drives for intimacy increased. As our desire for sex increased, our satisfaction with it increased. I was having multiple orgasms for the first time in my life!

I couldn’t be more thankful for Aloe Cadabra. That it brought back the magic in our relationship, on every level, is amazing.”

Medications for allergies, colds and asthma, contain antihistamines, which can also “dry” a person out. Here’s another comment from an Aloe Cadabra® client whose body cannot tolerate chemicals.

“I have allergies and my body is sensitive to chemicals. Aloe Cadabra didn’t cause any reactions, and felt great whether I used it as an everyday moisturizer or whether my husband and I enjoyed it together. Thank you for making something that helped us rekindle our connection and find our magic. And thank you for getting rid of all the chemicals that I now know so many lubricants have. It feels great to be using something that’s all natural, which is really important to us!  ”

Various cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, can also reduce a woman’s level of estrogen. One of our clients, Tammy told us how Aloe Cadabra® helped with her life after chemotherapy.

“Since chemo-induced early menopause, I’ve experienced related changes in my body, one of which was vaginal tissue thinning and associated dryness. I’ve tried lots of lubricants, but many of them are made to ‘enhance’ sex, and while others may enjoy them, I find them intrusive and sometimes downright painful! Finally, with Aloe Cadabra, I found something I was comfortable with, is natural, and effective. And I can order it online for the further comfort of privacy.”

Debbie, age 44 also had cancer treatment and wrote to thank us for Aloe Cadabra®.

“After breast cancer at 44 with chemotherapy causing immediate menopause, I almost lost my marriage as intimacy was so incredibly painful. I am allergic to glycerin and fearful of parabens both of which are in almost all personal lubricants [but not in Aloe Cadabra]. Aloe Cadabra has made me feel natural and given me back much of what I have lost. I am tearing up as I write this, I am so grateful.”

Marie, age 55 from North Carolina, credits Aloe Cadabra® with renewing her and her husband’s sex life.

“Sex isn’t something we talk much about (even though) we’ve always enjoyed it…” When our sex life began to change and our libidos began to slow… it created unspoken tension. My husband was the one who bought Aloe Cadabra® and it helped us feel sensations like we did in our twenties. Being intimate brought emotional connection back. Our life came back into balance. Sex felt natural and good, like it used to.”

Cathy, age 59 shared a similar comment.

“Great stuff! I gave up on sex due to the pain…just bought in local drug store chain, and no pain, not sore. And 95% organic! Thank you and hubby thanks you too.”

Six Tips To Make Your Holidays The Merriest Ever!

Posted on December 17, 2015

It’s Your Favorite Time of Year…Or It Could Be
‘Tis the season of good food and cheer; lights and libation; presents and parties; and memories and menorahs. But it’s also a time of long lines; endless crowds; annoying shoppers; drivers on steroids; and guests who don’t know when to leave! It can be a stressful time but it doesn’t have to be. Relax and enjoy this season of giving by handling holiday stress and spicing up your sex life at the same time.

Feel The Holiday Blues; Then Chase Them Away
Memories of years gone by are natural thoughts during this season of reflection. It’s normal to feel sadness and grief, especially if you can’t be with loved ones. A good cry can sometimes make a big difference. Catch up with a friend you’ve lost touch with or approach that handsome stranger. Who knows, holiday sparks may fly.

Rock Something Sexy
Holiday parties give you a great excuse to buy a new outfit. Make it festive and a little more revealing than your normal conservative threads. When you look good, you feel good so try a new hairstyle or take in a spa visit to put a smile on your face and boost your holiday spirit. Don’t be surprised if you get a few compliments too.

Suggested and Suggestive Reading
It’s official. Women are aroused by erotic material such as the best-selling 50 Shades of Grey. Researchers have found that erotic literature can stimulate the imagination. That stimulus can arouse sexual desire and feel-good vibes.

According to a paper published by the Society for the Scientific Society on Sexuality, reading erotic literature, now dubbed “bibliotherapy,” helps women suffering from low sexual desire achieve a mental state conducive to sex—specifically the anticipation of a positive sexual encounter. So pick up a “bad” book to feel better and possibly, lead to happy endings.

It’s Already Too Late To Shop Early
Shopping may be the most stressful activity of the season. Stop beating yourself up because you can’t say “Yes” when someone asks “All ready for Christmas?” Instead of a single gift, consider a sensual stocking and stuff it with Aloe Cadabra® personal lubricant, sexy lingerie and other bedroom delights.

Make Love
You may be so stressed that sex is the last thing on your mind. Move it up to first place. In addition to boosting immunity, sex fights stress and raises self-esteem. Orgasms increase endorphins (natural painkillers and mood elevators) and raise oxytocin levels, increasing romantic attachments. There are at least a dozen ways sex boosts good feelings and keeps you healthy. To make the most of your experience, keep your Aloe Cadabra® lubricant nearby for those magic moments. The Peppermint flavor is the perfect complement to the season.

Accept Changes In Tradition
Whatever the family rituals were last year or for decades before, it may not be the same this year. Situations change. Keep an open mind to new ideas. If you’re the one who usually plays host and adult children can’t make it this year, use Skype or Facetime to celebrate together. If you’re a couple celebrating alone, take advantage of the empty nest. Slip into something comfortable, light the candles, and make it a season to remember.

The holidays only come once a year, and it’s a time associated with good fun and loving relationships, so keep calm and carry on. Make this your merriest time of year. You can do this!

The Truth About Hormone Replacement Therapy

Posted on December 1, 2015

WHAT DOCTORS KNOW ABOUT HRT TODAY

When the most common symptoms of menopause—hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and disruptive sleep patterns—cause discomfort, or worse, tormenting pain, women think HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is the answer to relief.

From the 1960s, until the mid-nineties, doctors were liberal with HRT prescriptions to treat these and other menopausal symptoms, such as anxiety, irregular periods, psychological problems, and prevention of bone loss. Until the estrogen hit the fan!

In 2002, the medical world was rocked like an earthquake. A series of government-run clinical trials (Women’s Health Initiative or WHI) on the risks and benefits of hormone therapy was discontinued. Researchers had discovered that long-term use of synthetic estrogen and progestin in HRT increased the risk of heart disease, stroke, blood clots and breast cancer. Fearful patients called their doctors asking what they should do.

AND THEN THE AFTER-SHOCK
It got worse.
•   Subsequent studies found HRT also increased the risk of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and asthma.
•   An April 2007 JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) study determined the risk of stroke increased in HRT users by more than 30 percent, and that age or years at the onset of menopause was not a factor.
•   In 2010, new research found that combined estrogen-progestin HRT increased the risk for more severe forms of breast cancer and increased a woman’s chances of dying from the disease or other causes.

DIFFERENT DOCTORS = DIFFERENT OPINIONS
Today’s medical community tends to be divided in its views about prescribing HRT. Cardiologist Nieca Goldberg, MD, feels that younger women who go on hormone therapy because of severe menopause symptoms should not worry that HRT can be “detrimental to their heart.” Dr. Steven Goldstein, MD, professor of medicine at NYU Medical Center, concurs, saying “We have strong evidence to show that if it is less than 10 years since you started menopause, the use of HRT on a short-term basis is not likely to harm you.”

But Julia Smith, MD, director of the Lynne Cohen Breast Cancer Program at the NYU Medical Center describes the controversy as “complex” and “still not fully explained or explainable.”

BIOIDENTICAL COMPOUNDING: AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH
Prescription compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications. When a regular prescription doesn’t meet a patient’s specific health needs, the pharmacist combines, mixes, adjusts or alters the ingredients or physical form of a drug.

Many women choose Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement. With custom-compounding, the ingredients can be plant-based, which some believe are preferable to the synthetic ingredients found in traditional HRT products.

Andrea Dominic, RPh and Steve Hoyt, RPh are licensed pharmacists at San Ysidro Pharmacy in Santa Barbara, CA with more than 20 years experience in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement. San Ysidro Pharmacy is accredited by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board, established to ensure the quality of compounded prescriptions.

“Compounding pinpoints the individual patient’s needs,” says Andrea Dominic, RPh. “There is no one-dose-fits-all when it comes to hormone replacement. The levels needed to relieve symptoms can fluctuate and dose adjustments are sometimes necessary. Unlike synthetic hormones, the structure of the bio-identical hormone is exactly the same as what is circulating in the body, so the body knows how to metabolize it.”

CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN AND MAKE EDUCATED CHOICES
Some women may not need HRT. When vaginal dryness is the primary problem, for example, a hormone-free product such as Aloe Cadabra® vaginal lubricant and moisturizer, may be preferable. Aloe Cadabra® is all-natural; made of 95% quality organic Aloe Vera; is estrogen-free; FDA-cleared; and contains 100 percent food-grade ingredients.

“Gone forever are the days when a doctor routinely prescribes HRT for every woman over 50,” says Dr. Smith. “Today, the decision to go on hormone therapy, even short term, must take into consideration a host of individual health and lifestyle factors.”

Aloe Cadabra: The Renaissance Lubricant

Posted on July 26, 2015

Scuba divers love Aloe Cadabra to get their wet suits on

While Aloe Cadabra is a fantastic lubricant and moisturizer, according to our customers, they’re not limiting themselves. Without any prompting from us, many of you have been generous enough to share other uses you’ve discovered for Aloe Cadabra.

Probably the least surprising due to the aloe base of our product was from one young women who used it to alleviate her sunburn. A couple who recently had a baby told us they used it on diaper rash. Yet another person described how they used it on a really bad “road burn,” they’d gotten from biking. Within a week, the skin was healed.

But Aloe Cadabra isn’t simply being limited to people. One user told us about her dog being bitten in the face by an insect. After giving her pet some Benadryl, she used Aloe Cadabra directly on the bite to soothe away the sting. She’d read online that aloe helped alleviate itching, so she gave it a shot. According to her, it worked swimmingly.

We’ve heard from many that Aloe Cadabra has become their go to hand lotion. It makes sense. While Aloe Cadabra may be called a personal lubricant and its great for that purpose, the ingredients we use make it great for a variety of things. Aloe Vera is widely considered anti microbial and anti fungal. So, it can be soothing on sensitive skin.

Aloe Vera has also been used in medical centers on burns for a long time. And since we’re made with 95% aloe vera, it’s fantastic for that purpose as well. Aloe Vera has also widely been considered to have nourishing, healing attributes for the lips since the time of Cleopatra, and there are folks who’ve shared that they use it in just this way!

As interesting as all these stories were, the most surprising one came from a gentleman who told us he used it to get his wetsuit on and off. Like any curious company, we did a marketing study and found that scuba divers were some of the biggest purchasers of Aloe Cadabra! Why? Well, similar to a condom, a wet suit is made from rubber and can be difficult to get on and remove without the help of a lubricant.

So, no matter what you’re doing or what you’re trying to lubricate or moisturize, keep Aloe Cadabra in mind. When you start with 95% organic aloe vera, despite what the bottle may say or the connotation may be, it might just be the solution you’re looking for. Share with us how you’re using Aloe Cadabra! We’re on Twitter and Facebook, and enjoy hearing from our fans!

NOTE: please check with your doctor is you have a serious medical condition and are considering using Aloe Cadabra in a way other than its “intended purpose.”

Lose Those Winter Blues!

Posted on December 7, 2014

Have you ever wondered if the rumors were true? Does the dark and dreary cold of winter truly rev up the sex drive?

If you look around the internet at the various studies and surveys done you’ll find that the answer is mixed. While about 15% say that they absolutely notice that the weather definitely revs up their sex lives (citing reasons like being cooped up alone together and bored), another 15% claim that their drives dry up a bit.

So, the same amount who see a rise in their desire is even with the amount whose desire dwindles, what does that mean? Mathematically? Nothing changed.

Don’t get us wrong, the endorphin rush one receives during orgasm would probably go a long way toward curing the winter blues that often affects people because of limited access to the sun and the impact on our internal chemistry. That flood of chemicals can be a powerful thing, which may explain the rise in passion for some. It’s a way to combat both boredom and depression during the cold, dark winter.

And despite the fact that most associate Spring as the season of new beginnings, relationships included, it’s actually Winter that holds the record for highest percentage of new relationships according to a poll done by the Associated Press.

So maybe sweaters, coats, slacks, and gloves aren’t the sexiest gear in the world, especially when you imagine beginning a new relationship. Still, an excuse to get out of the house, snuggle a the fire, and drink a heated libation of some sort still has an appeal.

What better way to warm up, after all, than to share body heat, conversation, and company? Why not see where the next great eye contact and smile might lead? What could be the harm?

And if you decide to “warm up” with a little passion along the way, remember to make it both a sexy and memorable experience. Aloe Cadabra, with 95% organic aloe in every tube, can help make sure that there is no dryness or discomfort. Just relax, let it do the work, and enjoy the connection.
