Momotaro Apotheca Vaginal SuppositoryMomotaro Apotheca Vaginal Suppository: A homeopathic vaginal suppository that Momotaro Apotheca, the Portland brand started by Lindsay Wynn after her own…What it isA homeopathic vaginal suppository that Momotaro Apotheca, the Portland brand started by Lindsay Wynn after her own recurring yeast infections and BV, says it developed over three years. The brand markets it for yeast infections, BV and vaginal irritation and calls it "a natural alternative to antibiotics and antifungals." The homeopathic actives are echinacea, wood creosote (beechwood) and northern white cedar (thuja) at 12X dilution, in a base of cocoa butter, coconut oil, beeswax and jojoba with Oregon grape, calendula and tea tree. 14 suppositories, 2 mL each. The brand suggests storing it somewhere cool, like the fridge.Who it's for

People with a diagnosed yeast infection who want a plant-based, hormone-free option and have talked it through with a clinician

People who react badly to standard antifungal creams, per several reviewers

Not the pick for a first-time or recurring infection without a diagnosis: yeast infections and BV need different, proven treatments

Pregnant or breastfeeding: talk to your provider first

How to use itPer Momotaro Apotheca's own directions:

For acute issues, insert one vaginally twice a day for 5 to 7 days until symptoms clear.

It can also be used as needed for discomfort.

The brand suggests pairing it with its Salve for the outside.

Store somewhere cool and dry, like the refrigerator; the natural ingredients can separate.

Safety notes

A homeopathic product the FDA has not reviewed for safety or effectiveness. Don't use it instead of a proven treatment.

First infection, symptoms that come back, or symptoms that don't clear in a week: see a clinician.

Fever, pelvic pain, or unusual discharge with a bad smell: see a clinician.

Pregnant or breastfeeding: talk to your provider before using any vaginal product.

Contains tea tree oil: stop using it if irritation occurs. NIH says tea tree oil must never be swallowed.
