In today’s era talking about intimate care is still taboo in society. Most of us are unaware of the benefits of intimate wash and how to use it. Well, in this article we will help you find out these answers.
Ayurveda shows high value to our basic activities to promote our health. “Dincharya” daily chores are one of the finest examples of it. While explaining Dincharya, it has given the utmost importance to cleaning the body. It does not only include cleaning your hands, legs, and face but your intimate areas as well. If you ignore your intimate care, you may suffer from ailments such as white discharge (shweta pradara), itching in the vaginal area (yoni kandu), foul odor, altered pH, inflammation (shotha), burning micturition (yoni daah).
Advantages and Benefits of Intimate Wash
An intimate wash is a cleansing product designed to wash intimate areas of the body, such as the genital area. It helps you clean your intimate area without disturbing its normal pH. Intimate wash has many benefits; it reduces the risk of infection, soothes irritation, improves odour control, and reduces discharge. Some of them are:
Maintains pH Balance:
The pH of the vagina is acidic, with a range of 3.5 to 4.5, which helps to prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and yeast that can lead to infections and other health problems.
Menstruation, sexual activity, or other activities disrupt the natural balance of microorganisms in the intimate area leading to changes in the pH of the vagina. This change in intimate areas allows harmful bacteria to grow. To combat this an intimate wash is beneficial.
Prevents Irritation and Odour:
The odor and irritation of the vagina are common issues caused due to unhygienic practices. There are microorganisms in your intimate area responsible for foul odor and irritation in your vagina. So, one of the important advantages of intimate wash is, it helps restrict the growth of these microbes, thus preventing irritation and foul odour.
Reduces Risk of Infections:
Bacterial and fungal growth are common with poor hygiene practices. It can cause several symptoms, including itching, burning sensation, pH alteration, and discharge. Using the right intimate hygiene wash free of chemicals, toxins, and irritants, can help you to keep your genitals clean and reduces the risk of infections.
Soothes Discomfort and Dryness:
Intimate wash products also contain mild, non-irritating surfactants and other natural ingredients like aloe Dashmool, Manjistha Yashtimadhu Lodhra etc., that help to cleanse mala, sweat, and bacteria from the skin. Moreover, this can help to keep the skin hydrated and prevent further dryness and discomfort.
Post-Menstruation Relief:
The soothing effect of a feminine intimate hygiene wash helps cure the rashes, itching and small skin bumps that appear in the post-menstrual phase. It also cleanses any residual blood or menstrual debris that may be present in the vaginal area, which can further reduce the risk of infection and promote healing.
Convenient and Easy to Use:
There are various forms of feminine hygiene wash available in the market. The range of feminine intimate wash may vary from gels, shampoo, and granules to soap forms. However, whether it is shampoo, gel or granules, all are convenient to use. For instance, to use Naari Charya Intimate Wash, you have to dip the sachet in hot water and within a minute you can clean your intimate area.

Maintaining good feminine intimate hygiene is an essential aspect of overall health for women. It manages various vaginal issues and fights unwanted bacterial and fungal growth. It also takes care of any swelling and pain at the cervical and vaginal area. Also, good intimate hygiene prevents vaginal infections and promotes healthy sexual practices.
