Dr. Alpana Mohta,
Board Certified OBGYN.
In this insightful and clinically grounded video, Dr. Alpana Mohta, a board-certified OBGYN and specialist in women's intimate health, unpacks the often misunderstood topic of vaginal infections, with a particular focus on vulvovaginal candidiasis (commonly known as a yeast infection). With her dual background in dermatology and integrative care, Dr. Mohta explains:
🔬 What causes BV, vaginal yeast infections – from Candida overgrowth and microbiome imbalance to lifestyle and hygiene factors.
Clinically proven antifungal action of Curcumin (Turmeric) provides rapid symptom relief, with efficacy matching prescription creams for fungal skin infections.
Tea tree oil delivers potent antifungal effects against Malassezia and other skin fungi, effective even against resistant strains and selective for harmful organisms, preserving healthy skin flora.
Wrightia tinctoria is clinically proven safe and effective for skin inflammation and fungal conditions, with trials showing meaningful improvement and minimal side effects.
Dermveda’s moisturizing base relieves dryness and irritation, addressing key complaints with conventional products like Nizoral and Selsun.
Safe for long-term use, supporting relapse prevention unlike harsh chemical antifungals which are rarely tolerable or safe for extended application.
Dermveda harnesses a proprietary extraction for natural ingredients that retain 95% active ingredients with a polyherbal formulation to combat fungal and yeast infections by targeting multiple biochemical pathways—offering a more holistic and robust solution compared to conventional single-agent azole treatments.
Key Natural Ingredients & TheirActions
Curcumin (Turmeric Extract)
Disrupts ergosterol biosynthesis, a critical component of fungal cell membranes, effectively inhibiting fungal growth.
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity, including effectiveness against drug-resistant Candida strains and both planktonic cells and biofilms.
Wrightia tinctoria
Rich in lignans and flavonoids with both fungistatic and fungicidal properties.
Interferes with DNA replication and hyphal formation in fungal cells, effectively targeting Candida species.
Traditional Agents for Comparison
Clotrimazole & Miconazole (Synthetic Azoles)
Function as fungistatic agents by inhibiting lanosterol 14α-demethylase, essential for fungal membrane synthesis.
Prolonged use may disrupt beneficial Lactobacillus populations, which help maintain vaginal pH and guard against secondary infections.
Dermveda’s Advantage
Dermveda’s integrative approach combines plant-based antifungal powerhouses like curcumin and tea tree oil with clinical-grade agents, delivering comprehensive relief from yeast infections. Unlike conventional treatments that may disturb the delicate vaginal flora, Dermveda helps preserve and support the natural microbiome, promotinglong-term vaginal health and resilience.
