Ginger-Ai Decoction Proves Highly Effective for Vaginal Itching in Women
Vaginal itching is a common gynecological condition. Some patients experience persistent symptoms despite long-term treatment or suffer relapses shortly after recovery—extremely distressing. In the 1960s, while working in rural areas, the author learned from an elderly woman that ginger-ai decoction effectively treats vaginal itching in women. After clinical practice, multiple cases were successfully cured. Now, it is recommended for others suffering from the same condition to try.
Use 120g fresh ginger (washed, skin intact, crushed), 90g dried mugwort leaves (or 200–250g fresh), add 1500ml water, boil in a pot for 20 minutes after boiling, strain out the residue, pour the liquid into a basin. Have the patient sit above the basin so steam first fumigates the genital area. When the water cools to a comfortable temperature, wash the area for 10–15 minutes. Perform this 1–2 times daily for three consecutive days to achieve cure.
During treatment and for half a month afterward, avoid spicy, fried, grilled, or stir-fried foods. Strictly prohibit alcohol and sexual activity.
