Feminine Hygiene cleanser is designed specifically for women, and when used topically, it may be considered anti-infective, as it promotes restoration of damaged tissue including mucosal membranes in the vaginal area. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect which may help to relieve itching and inflammation. And then there are the yeast infections, candidiasis, thrush, Candida, and vaginitis by any other name, still a yeast infection. Unfortunately about 75% of all women will get an infection as least once in their life. Men can and do get yeast infections, although the occurrence for this isn't as high as it is in women.

This feminine wash formula may also help to relieve the vaginal dryness often experienced with vaginal atrophy. It is useful for the sensitive times in a woman's life, such as with pregnancy, after childbirth, during menstruation or vaginal sensitivity, after aerobics and other physical activities, after swimming pools, hot tubs or the sea.

White Oak Bark is a powerful astringent and considered a hemostatic, or substance that helps to stop bleeding. When used externally, White Oak bark's tannins protect injured tissues by precipitating their proteins to form an antiseptic, protective coat under which regeneration of new tissue takes place. This action is found to be useful as a topical antiseptic for wounds, skin abrasions and to relieve flabby ulcers. The tannins bind with protein in the tissues making them impermeable to bacterial invasion and infection, and this action has been found to be very helpful for treating a wide variety of infections such as vaginal infection (including vaginitis and leucorrhoea), gleet (urethritis), canker sores and, in this wash, for cleansing vaginal discharges. Further supporting White Oak bark's astringent qualities, it is said to be helpful for relieving goiter, swelling of the neck and varicose veins. It is also thought to reduce swelling and hard tumors when applied topically.

Cayenne pepper extract has antifungal properties that are significant and it is naturally high in beta-carotene (vitamin A) making it a powerful antioxidant that aids in the skin's protection from free radicals. A powerful and natural stimulant, capsaicin, the active ingredient in Cayenne, has the ability to increase circulation. Cayenne pepper tincture acts on nerve ending, leading to responses that mimic those of heat and pain. These include pain-relieving compounds and may contribute to increased sexual arousal. Used topically, capsaicin extracts may reduce inflammation and itching common in vaginal infections and those that are associated with skin conditions, such as psoriasis and a valuable herb for fungal infection.
