When many women find out they have gynecological diseases, they are too embarrassed to tell others and go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for treatment privately, but the treatment results are often not satisfactory.

Since birth, various bacteria have existed in your vagina. Under normal circumstances, these bacteria coexist peacefully and have little effect on a woman's body. However, if you have sex too frequently without paying attention to hygiene, overuse antiseptic solutions to flush the vagina, use gynecological antiseptic suppositories, etc., the bacteria that originally coexisted peacefully will become disordered, and vaginitis will begin to wreak havoc.

Fumigation and washing of the genitals with mugwort decoction has a very good effect. Take a handful of dried moxa leaves and put them into water every day. Bring to a boil over high heat and then cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Take out the moxa leaves and throw them away, and pour the moxa soup into a sterilized basin. When it is cooled to the right temperature, sit in it and let the moxa soup fumigate your private parts for 20 minutes, then wash it off. Fumigation and washing of the genitals with mugwort decoction is very effective in treating various types of vaginitis.
