Happy National Wellness Month from Cerē

August is National Wellness month. 

At Cerē, sexual wellness and health are core to who we are. 

As physicians, we know that sexual wellbeing is an important part of overall wellbeing.

The name "Cerē" was inspired by the word ceremony. We believe that sexual self-care is an integral part of the ceremony of self: taking an intentional approach to addressing one's needs and desires. 

“Cultural norms and habits lead us to view sex as more of a forbidden taboo than basic self-care. A consistent orgasm is like a daily vitamin for physical and mental wellness. It is the highest ceremony of self.”

- Dr. Amir Marashi, Founder of Cerē

Research studies demonstrate numerous benefits of climax, some of which include:

• Release of oxytocin and endorphins ("feel-good" hormones)
• Improved sleep
• Stronger pelvic floor
• Better cardiovascular health
• Regular menstrual cycles
• Boosted immunity

Whether you're exploring pleasure solo or with a partner, this month is a good reminder to take a step back and evaluate your sexual health routines and self-care practices.
