In Ayurveda, vaginal infections are linked to imbalances in the Pitta and Kapha Doshas:
- Pitta Imbalance: Causes inflammation, heat, and irritation in the vaginal area.
- Kapha Imbalance: Leads to excessive mucus production and stagnation, aggravating infections.
Ayurvedic treatments aim to detoxify the body, balance doshas, and strengthen immunity to prevent recurring infections.
