Overview

A NaturGyn Scarlett vaginal ball contains 8 herbal drugs. It is designed for the treatment of chronic and recurrent conditions of vaginal discomfort. Its described 90% efficacy can also be explained, based on the analysis of effects of its individual components, using the methods of conventional Western pharmacology. It can also be included in the management of chronic discharge, between eradication of pathogens and restoration of vaginal environment with probiotics.

Key words:
phytotherapy – traditional Chinese medicine – vaginal ring – vulvovaginal discomfort
