Is lemisol healthy to use ob your vaginal area because i was told u should only use water because it cleans itself?

No: We currently do not recommend any type of douching. The vagina is designed to clean itself and maintain the healthy bacteria. If you have an infection, or recurrent vaginal infections that do not respond to usual treatment, then specific vaginal preparations are used.
