Treating Bacterial Vaginosis Naturally - Home Remedies For Bv

Bacterial vaginosis is a particularly unpleasant condition as not only the symptoms difficult to live with, but the "embarrassment factor" can come into play as the unpleasant fishy vaginal odor is often noticeable by people around you.

If you have itching and burning around the vaginal along with a fishy smelling discharge which is gray or white in color, you are likely to have bacterial vaginosis.

Antibiotics are often the first line of defense, but they are rarely the best option. By killing off all bacteria in the vagina, they leave no beneficial bacteria which are needed to fight off repeat incidents and this is why a large proportion of women who take antibiotics for this condition will have a repeat attack within a few short weeks. Fortunately, treating bacterial vaginosis naturally is an option which often enjoys much better success. Indeed there are a few home remedies for BV you can use right now that might relieve the symptoms.

Firstly, try taking a bath into which you have added two to three cups of cider vinegar. This can help to neutralize the imbalanced conditions in the vagina which are causing the symptoms. In addition, some women find adding tea tree oil (around 10-12 drops per bath) can also help to eradicate some of the harmful bacteria-just don't try both at once. Other women prefer to use tea tree oil pessaries directly in the vagina for a concentrated dosage.

One of the most popular home remedies for BV is to use probiotic yogurt. This is rich in the beneficial bacteria which is normally plentiful in the vagina and it is a lack of this which causes the symptoms of BV. Some recommend eating a pot of this yogurt daily and whilst there is no doubt that this is good for overall general health, there is some disagreement as to exactly how much of the beneficial bacteria finds its way to the vagina. More useful is to soak a tampon in the yogurt and insert it directly into the vagina and this will help to replenish depleted supplies.

The best home remedies for BV are those which use a multifaceted approach rather than just using one or two strategies in isolation which are sometimes fine if you only have this condition in a mild form.
