Nothing unsafe here. Are you trying to clear vaginal yeast or thrush? If thrush, treat topically.

No it's for internal candida. So it's ok to take? I know it says not to take if pregnant or bf but I didn't know if that was just to cover themselves.

I would not take it. Uva ursi has a toxin in it that can damage the liver and cause convultions. Pau d' arco has toxins as well. Everything else is ok.

The only thing I would worry about is peppermint bc I think it can lower supply.

Most things say not to take if pregnant or nursing. My dr would have no clue either that's why I am posting it here.

Quoting PixiePam:

It says NOT to use it if pregnant or nursing... I'd call my doctor first.

Have you tried refrigerated pro-biotics? I got some Udo's Choice super 8 probiotics-it says maintains healthy yeast balance. I got it from my health food store, there are other options.. Is it for thrush?

It's not for regular thrush. I take probiotics. I guess I will just take ACV. Yuck!
