The Definition of Endofem
The combination of the two words – Endo – derived from the endometrium which is the inner most lining layer of the uterus linked with the word FEM, referring to female, woman, goddess or womanhood. Referring to a woman as “goddess” is typically meant as a great compliment, suggesting she is viewed with great admiration, reverence, and a sense of the divine or sacred.
The 4 S – Aldila Wellness Principle – The Science, The Story, The Symptoms, The Solutions
The Journey of Endofem has been developed with the physical bodily reaction to hormonal fluctuation, entering the various seasons of womanhood and transitioning through them with more ease in mind. Trauma and stress locks in the body and may manifest as reproductive ailments such as PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) endometriosis, dysmenorrhoea, amenorrhea, fibroids, POS ( polycystic ovarian syndrome) peri-menopausal symptoms and other reproductive ailments to name a few.
Very specific essential oils have been chosen and formulated in such a way to improve all general factors affecting the female reproductive system and all symptoms accompanying it.
The transition into womanhood and navigating the various seasons following this initial rite of passage should not be taken lightly. Most of us carry shame and fear with regards to our womanhood and have not been empowered or introduced to the various seasons of our femininity with wisdom and guidance from the females in our tribe.
This powerful elixir heals on collective female wound on all levels and ignites the female goddess energy within every woman who wishes to honour herself.
The body keeps the score and if we are not aware of our emotional state and the trauma that has locked in the reproductive organs, it may manifest in the body through various symptoms if not addressed accordingly.
Therefore, the intention behind the development of Embark No. 12 – Endovance.
The lack of awareness by neglecting the daily act of female self-care through mindfulness, relaxation and clear intention to calming and de-stress the body on regular basis can lead us to fight a losing battle with our hormone for years on end.
Symptoms of female ailments may include:
- Painful, heavy or scanty and irregular periods.
- An unpleasant aroma or unhealthy discharge.
- Moodiness and irritability.
- Anxiety and depressive episodes.
- Hot flushes and peri-menopausal symptoms including brain fog.
- PMS (pre-menstrual stress).
- Vaginal itching, dryness and thinning out of the vaginal wall.
- Cystitis and re-occurring bladder and urinary tract infection.
- Thrush, candida and itchiness in the southern hemisphere.
- Painful intercourse leading to emotional issues.
- Frigidity and no interest in the sensual side of one’s life.

Truly understanding what can lead to female ailments, will empower you to prevent and manage it with more ease.
