I have always learned about plants through their stories: how they came here, what they represent, what silent powers they hold and who they mean something to. I have made my career as a storyteller: as a journalist, I have told stories daily for more than a decade. Now, I wanted to hear – perhaps even tell – these women’s stories. I wanted to learn more about what had driven these women to garden, perhaps to better understand my own need for the soil, perhaps to better understand what it was to be a woman. Like other hair on your body, your pubes trap sweat, oil, and bacteria. So, they might have a slightly stronger odor than other areas of your body.

Women often experience unattractive facial hair due to hormonal imbalances, including polycystic ovaries. The good news is that dietary supplements can be effective tools to stop facial hair growth. They can balance progesterone and estrogen levels and inhibit the production of testosterone, the male hormone responsible for stimulating hair follicles on the face. However, there are many factors to consider before starting a dietary supplement regimen.
