Women's Health
A guide to cannabis and women’s health.
As a woman-owned company with a majority female team, Proof seeks ways to help women feel better through cannabis. This guide aims to help women understand how cannabis can help relieve symptoms commonly associated with various stages of life.
Women were not required to be included in federally funded clinical studies until 1993! As such, women’s health research lags far behind men’s health. Similarly, cannabis studies are few and far between due to its status as a federal controlled substance.
Despite the limited science for women’s health and cannabis, there is some helpful information available related to the use of cannabis for treatment of symptoms experienced by women.
Cannabis can be a very effective way to help us to feel healthier, treat symptoms, and have fun in the meantime! We encourage consumers to work with a physician and to start with low doses.

Proof is dedicated to providing scientifically based information.
Far too many women lack sexual desire, have discomfort during sex, or experience vaginal dryness. Women are often hesitant to discuss this or may not understand the reasons for their sexual dissatisfaction.
Cannabis applied topically can help increase blood flow and create a protective barrier, which can improve sexual experiences and help nourish the vagina.
By altering headspace and stimulating senses, cannabis can also help increase sex drive and have stronger orgasms.
Another common and rarely talked about symptom as women age is vaginal atrophy, which can lead to daily discomfort as well as painful intercourse. Daily application of a hydrating serum (like Proof’s Cannabis Lube) may help alleviate these symptoms.
Each month, many women suffer through symptoms of menstruation - like aches and pains, cramps, fatigue, trouble sleeping, and headaches - often without any treatment or relief. This can cause distractions at school, at work, and at home.
The good news is that cannabis can help relieve many of the common symptoms of menstruation. Next “time of the month” you don’t have to suffer!
Look for products that feature these cannabinoids. Proof has some great options with effective cannabinoid blends.
From age 35 into our 60s, women can experience a a wide range of symptoms (35+ symptoms!) of perimenopause and menopause. Many women are misdiagnosed or lack resources due to a historical gap in medical understanding and discussion surrounding perimenopause and menopause.
While cannabis cannot treat the root cause of perimenopause and menopause ( a reduction of estrogen levels), cannabis can help relieve many of the symptoms.
