Vaginitis or white discharge in women is a common medical problem affecting millions of women every year. The current medical therapy temporarily reduces infection  but disrupts the normal vaginal flora. Consequently  recurrence of disease or reinfection by more than one type of microbes  is a common phenomenon. Herbal therapy is gaining ground  because it reduces side effects and restores normal vaginal flora.

In a recent clinical study conducted by Dr. Bapat V. R. et.al.  36 patients with symptoms of vaginitis of varying etiology were treated successfully with a polyherbal formulation- Wh-1 capsule. 30 of 36 patients under treatment were cured. There was a follow up of one month. Vaginal swab test was done before commencement of treatment and after completion of treatment. The swab test shows the identity and virulity of infecting microbes.

The study was undertaken by the Department of Pharmacy Practice of Al-Ameen College of Pharmacy, Bangalore, India and its report is published in Indian Journal of Pharmacy Practice.
