Biological and test markers
16This visual map uses existing EH database links to show biological agents and lab markers reported as increased, decreased, or associated with this condition. These are educational relationships only; test results must be interpreted by a qualified clinician because ranges vary by lab, method, age, sex and clinical context.

Introduction / full article
Inflammatory Vaginitis
Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:
Thuja (Eastern White Cedar, Thuja Occidentalis) [2, 3, 4, 5]:
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some of the symptoms, and even then has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present. Little is known about the full effects of Thuja, so it is not recommended for medicinal use. Thuja can be poisonous if ingested in large amounts.
Recommendation: no recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that Thuja helps to treat vaginitis)
Grade of Evidence: very low quality of evidence
