First Understanding Yeast Infections: Yeast infections, also known as candidiasis, can affect anyone, regardless of gender. They occur when there is an overgrowth of the Candida fungus in the body. Common symptoms include itching, burning, and discomfort in the affected area. And yes these infections are most common in the vagina and vulva.
But fret not, as there are natural remedies that can help you find relief without having to resort to the same old "fem care solutions". Let's dive into some effective and accessible ingredients that can be found in our products.
