Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking

Thuja (Eastern White Cedar, Thuja occidentalis) [1, 2, 3, 4]

Please note: this management does not treat the condition itself. It may mildly help with some 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 vaginosis.

Grade of Evidence: Very low quality of evidence.
