Dilution is Key: Never exceed 2-3 cloves per liter. More is not better and can cause irritation, burns, or allergic reactions.
Temperature Matters: Use only warm water. Hot water can scald delicate tissue.
For External Use Only: This is for surface cleansing only. It is not a vaginal wash or douche.
Listen to Your Body: Discontinue immediately if you experience any stinging, burning, redness, or itching.
Not a Medical Treatment: This practice is for comfort and hygiene only. It does not treat or prevent infections (like yeast or BV). Using it for such purposes can worsen the condition.
Pregnancy & Postpartum: Consult your doctor or midwife before use during pregnancy or after childbirth.
Open Skin or Procedures: Avoid if you have cuts, rashes, recent surgery (episiotomy, hemorrhoidectomy), or are undergoing medical treatment in the area.
