Traditional & Alternative Medicine

Croatia is a marvellous country but in a post-war aft ermath with deep economic, moral and intellectual consequences. Since 1991, we at Aromara have been spreading awareness about aromatherapy through education, products and impact at a Governmental level. When researching product development, we seek common chronic health problems that lack an eff ective pharmacological cure. Th is is the case for vaginal infections. Most common forms of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis (40-45%), vaginal candidiasis (20-25%) and trichomoniasis (15-20%). Up to 70% of women may remain undiagnosed. 498 million people aged 15 to 49 worldwide are infected each year with chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or trichomoniasis. A synergistic combination of Helianthus annuus, Hypericum perforatum, Calendula offi cinalis, Prunus armeniaca fi xed oils and Melaleuca alternifolia, Cymbopogon martinii, Cananga odorata, Helichrysum italicum, Pogostemon patchouli, Pelargonium graveolens and Matricaria chamomilla essential oils, used daily, showed results in alleviating symptoms and providing clear medical tests of the vaginal fl ora. Aromatograms and pharmacological properties of the main ingredients demonstrate the health benefi ts of the formulation. Th e sociological results of improving women's vaginal health are higher creativity, less depression, better overall health, better sexual life, better motherhood, healthier family - the results of which brings us towards promoting a healthy

society.
