Home Cures For Bacterial Vaginosis - 2 Easy Bv Remedies

By:




If you suffer from recurrent BV, you may well be disappointed with your treatment options. Although antibiotics are often routinely prescribed, they cannot treat the root cause and simply help to temporarily relieve the symptoms.

There are various home cures for bacterial vaginosis and these can be used to both give some symptomatic relief and to begin to treat the root cause. Two of the best home treatments are probiotics and tea tree oil.

Under normal circumstances, the pH level within the vagina is mildly acidic and this is supportive of the healthy Lactic acid bacteria which maintains the overall health of the vagina. When something happens to upset the balance, unhealthy bacteria will take over and cause the common symptoms of bacterial vaginosis which include itching and burning of the vagina and a foul, fishy smelling discharge which is either gray or white in color and rather watery in consistency.

There are a number of different causes of BV and the key to successful treatment is to restore balance using home cures for bacterial vaginosis which replenish the healthy levels of bacteria within the vagina.

Probiotics are rich in the same beneficial bacteria which resides in a healthy vagina. You can either buy this in capsule form from a health food store or use live natural yogurt, which itself is rich in healthy bacteria, and reintroduce it into the vagina via a pre-soaked tampon.

Tea tree oil can help to kill off harmful bacteria. This natural, powerful antibacterial substance is surprisingly gentle on the body but must be diluted before use. The correct dilution is around 10-12 drops added to a shallow bath.

Prompt action is always a good idea if you have BV as although not dangerous in the early stages, if left untreated bacterial vaginosis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility.
