DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0039] As used throughout the present disclosure, unless specifically stated otherwise, the term or encompasses all possible combinations, except where infeasible. For example, the expression A or B shall mean A alone, B alone, or A and B together. If it is stated that a component includes A, B or C, then, unless specifically stated otherwise or infeasible, the component may include A, or B, or C, or A and B, or A and C, or B and C, or A and B and C. Expressions such as at least one of do not necessarily modify an entirety of the following list and do not necessarily modify each member of the list, such that at least one of A, B, and C should not be understood as including only one of A, only one of B, only one of C, or any combination of A, B, and C.

[0040] FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a tampon 1 according to the present invention. The tampon 1 has an absorbent base body 2. In the embodiment shown, the base body 2 is made of a cotton fleece. The base body 2 has a distal end 3 which comes to lie closer to the cervix after insertion of the tampon 1 into the vagina. Furthermore, the base body 2 has a proximal end 4, to which a retrieval string 6 is attached. A plurality of grooves 5 is embedded on the base body 2, which in the shown embodiment are substantially straight, i.e. they run substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base body 2. The base body 2 has a cylindrical base form, whereas the distal end 3 shows a rounding in the form. The base body 2 comprises a pharmaceutical composition comprising cannabidiol and camomile flowers, in particular camomile flower extract.

[0041] Since the tampon and its methods of manufacture are described in detail above are examples of embodiments, they can be modified to a wide extent by the skilled person in the usual manner without leaving the scope of the invention. In particular, the arrangements and the proportions of the individual elements with respect to each other are merely exemplary. Some preferred embodiments according to the invention have been disclosed above. The invention is not limited to the solutions explained above, but the innovative solutions can be applied in different ways within the limits set by the claims.
