Uses: Vaginal Discharge. Yu Dai Wan (FemincleanTM) is a Chinese herbal remedy specially formulated to help maintain a normal vaginal discharge. Some vaginal discharge is normal. It is secreted by glands in the vagina and cervix and takes away dead cells shed from the inner surface and bacteria. This process helps lubricate and clean the vagina and prevent infection. Normal discharge should be white, thin or thick, and odorless and in a daily amount of about a teaspoon. The exact amount varies due to ovulation, menstrual flow, and sexual activity etc. ($8.99)
