-
Can the Detox Pearls cause me to get a yeast infection?Less than 1% of women may develop a yeast infection after using the Yoni Detox Pearls especially after their first time detoxing. This may occur when/if the pearls throws the PH off balance - this does not mean that you should not/cannot use the detox pearls again as your body usually adapts to the change after the first detox.

If a yeast infection occurs we recommend using Yoni Steam You may try using the pearls again one week after the infection clears up.

-
​What are the side effects of using the Detox Pearls?Now we know not everything is for everyone, so some women may experience some mild cramping, itching, mild burning, discomfort or odor during the detox. This is due to all the toxins being drawn out of the vagina and some skin having different reactions to these natural toxins. This usually subsides as the detox ends.​​
-
​My vagina is itchy after I inserted the Detox Pearls, what should I do?If itching occurs, no need to worry this is a sign that your body is releasing toxins. Take a warm Shower and drink lots of water to help relieve these symptoms. These symptoms are more common with women that experience constant bacterial vaginosis (B.V.) & yeast infections​.

We also recommend only steaming for 15 minutes if you decide to do it with a coil.

Also, steaming after an STI can be very beneficial to the body to help heal tissue, reduce inflammation and remove viruses.
