May 24th, 2010Sexual Trauma: Awakening the Body from Trauma
May 21st, 2010Carolyn Braddock, Dr. Aloe
Educator, Consultant, Author of Body Voices
Aloe Cadabra is “As Natural as Nature.” This product clearly fits with my work of over 40 years of specializing in trauma, and especially Sexual Trauma, which can clearly manifest in difficulties in relationships and sexual expression. (Sexual expression is one of my most favorite topics… besides golf.) I wanted to be able to help survivors to explore their sexuality, learn about sexual feelings, and FEEL them with the help of a product that is natural, and gentle, and free of harmful chemicals. There is an episode of a TV show, a young women describes an orgasm as “God waking up inside me.” To unwind sexual trauma is to celebrate the body, mind and spirit as a whole, what I call the many body voices of the body….hence my book called Body Voices.
When trauma is unwound, sexual expression may also be a celebration of a healthy, trusting, and loving relationship. The FIRST step in healing is AWARENESS, developing an awareness of what is being spoken and thought as well as awareness of body responses, sensations and feelings. The sexual journey is a rich one, demanding that we wholly explore, experience, and look at the old messages, patterns, and barriers to fullness. Many trauma survivors do not know their bodies – what their bodies look like, how they function, and where certain body parts are located. Then of course, there are the negative messages, shame and guilt.
I celebrate this natural product of 97% aloe… putting something so natural, clean, and that feels so good, silky, and smooth (not slimy) in such a sacred connection with the body, mind, and soul. The product is balanced and therefore helps to balance the user.
I know that my many years of experience (and silver hair) in the field of psychology, sexuality, and working with sexual trauma manifestations with clients and therapists nationally and internationally, would be valuable in helping to find a sexual lubricant product that looks good, feels good, and IS GOOD! Celebrate this product being available to help with the discovery of Self…the Self that is unwinding the trauma, to learn what feels good by experimenting with touching the body, and experiencing sensations….old feelings that may reoccur and remember the trauma, and new ones that empower. Experiment with a vibrator. Aloe Cadabra won’t harm sex toys. Go slowly…notice the feelings and where the body begins to awaken to sensations. Notice the thoughts. As a sensation begins to intensify, relax into it, and “ride the wave.” You are in charge of YOU now! This is YOUR body that belongs to YOU. Try out different scents: Natural Aloe, French Lavender, and Tahitian Vanilla.

Silicone Personal Lubricants
May 19th, 2010
As a friend recently proclaimed after rubbing a premium silicone lubricant between her fingers, “wow, that’s as slippery as ice skating in roller skates.” So, what’s the deal with silicone lubricants? That’s a long topic, but here’s a couple of quick thoughts:
The upside, silicone lubricants are incredibly slick and can make for long lasting slipperiness and slickness. They’re typically unscented for those that are looking for something without scent. And, silicone is generally considered inert (ie. they aren’t bad for you per se). The downside? They may require clean-up afterward (you’ll be coated with it, which is what makes it so slippery and slick for such a long time). They can stain your sheets. Some people feel they’re so slick you’ll lose some of the sensation they’re looking for. And, they may not have ingredients that will nurture and enhance your well being like organic aloe vera or Vitamin E. Even if they do, check the label to find out just how much they have and just how natural the products are.
If you’re looking for slick and slippery, they’re great. If you’re looking for as natural as nature, you may want to look for something like Aloe Cadabra, which will enhance and nurture your body while providing a sensual feeling just like you’re used to.
Life and Ecstasy in Death Valley
May 14th, 2010
We went to Death Valley and we found LIFE. Standing on top of the Black Mountains an amazing colorful rock formation, we felt like we were flying as we reached up to touch the sky. Everywhere we looked we could see and have another surprise moment, with something new to experience. We saw narrow canyons, plants, flowers, salt flats, vibrant colors and natural wonders everywhere. Our hearts felt alive with joy and love for each other. Imagine celebrating our relationship here in this valley of LIFE.
At dinner, I felt so much love… being IN love… as I put the ring on her finger, and looked forward to the time when the two of us become one in marriage. This was a slow down and relaxing weekend just the two of us. In my other pocket, I reached in for the colorful purple bag of Aloe Cadabra to enhance this very special weekend. Our bodies awakened to the scent of Lavender, as we celebrated the joy of this moment that we will remember always. We returned to our room with a view of the night skies with bright stars. Together we go to a place of ecstasy again and again. Yes, there is MUCH life in Death Valley.

Physician’s Exam Lubrication
May 10th, 2010
Imagine a world where going to the OB/GYN exam is an experience of a natural, a 97% organic lubricant completely free of harsh chemicals being used for the exam.
Imagine… relief from tension of past exams with exam lubricants made from harsh chemicals… NOW, imagine relaxing the body during the procedure knowing that what is going inside the body is safe, gentle, clean and organic. Do not go to the OB/GYN without it! Tell all the physicians you know to USE THIS PRODUCT. It is a gynecological health ally and pH balanced to vaginal pH. No more harsh chemicals!
The Quickie: Lube
May 7th, 2010Do you remember when lubricants were taboo to talk about? When you had to ask for lubricants from the pharmacist at your drug store? When there weren’t many options? When other intimate and feminine hygiene products weren’t talked about? Boy have things changed. I was recently out to lunch with a close friend, in her 30’s, who owns her own business and is highly successful. She asked what I was up to and I mentioned Aloe Cadabra.
Without blinking an eye she said, “do you know what a big deal that is? Sometimes, my husband and I (also a business owner) don’t have time for all the warm ups. This stuff would be awesome. We can get right down to things with a “quickie lube,” enjoy a great experience with each other and then move on to our hectic schedules, physically, mentally and emotionally fulfilled. We wouldn’t want to do that every time, but boy would it be great for those high stress times.”
We say bravo! Enjoy a quickie lube with yourself or someone you care about. Enhance it with a great all natural lube you can feel good about, like Aloe Cadabra. And enjoy all life has to offer. Even when there isn’t a lot of time to enjoy it!
Personal Lubricant Ingredients – Part 2
May 3rd, 2010Did you know that many lubricants contain chemicals that can make those with allergies or chemical sensitivities experience burning or irritation when they use them? Did you know that menopause increases the percentage of people with adult onset allergies, which can increase chemical sensitivities? If you’re experiencing any of those things or better yet, just because you care about you, look for lubricants without potentially harmful chemicals like Glycerine and Parabens (they can make sensitivities even more acute). Find a lubricant without them, like Aloe Cadabra, and enjoy knowing you’re using a product that’s As Natural As Nature. Not only will it help lubricate, but it will also help moisturize, and enhance your pleasure!

Personal Lubricant Ingredients – Part 1
April 28th, 2010You’re likely here because you care what you put on your body. So, the question of just what the best lubricant ingredients are has probably crossed your mind. We know it’s crossed ours! We’ve recently discovered a great website from the non-profit Environmental Working Group: www.cosmeticsdatabase.org.
The website ranks the toxicity of products and ingredients and tells you what the potential dangers are of the ingredients in any formula. We encourage you to check it out and see just how “clean,” your lubricant is. Better yet, take a look at the toxicity of all of your cosmetics and skin care products. It’s a great independent source of information that can help you make great decisions and ensure the things you put on your body are As Natural As Nature, just like Aloe Cadabra (When we ran Aloe Cadabra through, we got the lowest toxicity rating of any lubricant we know of!). And, you might just be surprised to find that something you thought was all natural may not be so as much as you’d hoped!
Here’s to your health and knowing just what you’re putting in your body.
