One of the most recommended herbs is pau d’arco, which originates from the inner bark of a notable tree in South America.

This herb can be brewed into a tea, and its extract can be used for vaginal applications.

|---|---|---|
| Pau d’arco | Vaginal cleansing | Ensure high lapachol content |
| Calendula | Healing, soothing, and antifungal | Can be combined with Echinacea |
| Echinacea | Antifungal, can be combined with calendula | Creates a soothing infusion |
| Tea tree oil | Vaginal douche when combined with isopropyl alcohol | Ensure proper dilution |

Another commendable herb is calendula, known for its antifungal properties and its ability to heal and soothe the skin. Calendula is particularly beneficial post-childbirth or after procedures. It can be combined with Echinacea, another potent herb, to create a soothing infusion.
Tea tree oil is also an effective solution. One method involves blending it with isopropyl alcohol before diluting in water to create a douche. This mix is a powerful remedy against infections.
Other herbs that have been found effective include garlic, which can be fashioned into a tampon for direct application. However, caution is advised as some women may experience irritation.
