Regular douching of the genital tract with a decoction of the barks of banyan and fig trees is very useful in leucorrhoea. In Ayurvedic terminology, this douche therapy is called as Uttara Vasti. Take one tablespoon of the powder of each of these two barks, boil in 1 lit. of water, and reduce to half. Filter the decoction and discard the remnants. Have an oil massage before douching. Fill the warm decoction in the douche bag and attach a clean, lubricated nozzle to it. Lie down on your back and bend your knees. Insert the nozzle into vagina and take deep breaths. Slowly squeeze the douche bag so that decoction enters the vagina. Stay in the same position for 10-15 minutes.
Note that you should avoid this treatment during menstruation, pregnancy and immediately after panchakarma. If the symptoms persist for 3-4 days, get worse, or are accompanied by fever, abnormal bleeding, or severe pain, get yourself examined by a doctor.
