Content Creator claims Apple Cider Vinegar baths ‘reset’ PH Balance
Summary
DIY remedies for vaginal health concerns are all over social media. This video claims that a bath with apple cider vinegar and hydrogen peroxide can “literally act as a reset” for UTIs, yeast infections, or an “acidic smell,” suggesting “the problems just washed away” after 15 minutes. Hydrogen peroxide is an antiseptic that can irritate sensitive vulvovaginal tissue and is not a recommended treatment for UTIs or yeast infections. Over-the-counter or prescription medications are the evidence-based treatments for these conditions. Promoting home remedies like this can delay appropriate care and increase the risk of ongoing symptoms or complications.
