If you have Bacterial Vaginosis, then I am sure it is something you are very unwilling to disclose even to your health practitioner, let alone share with friends or family. Yet this is the most common vaginal infection, second only to yeast infection.

In this article I will reveal 3 very powerful and effective home remedies for bacterial Vaginosis but before I do that let’s address 2 very important questions – what is bacterial Vaginosis and what are the common symptoms?

This condition caused by an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the vagina and is characterised by 3 main symptoms:

1. A fishy smelly odor

2. A thin greyish white discharge

3. Burning and Itching sensation in the vagina.

What is the conventional method for treating Bacterial Vaginosis and what is the biggest drawback of this form of treatment?

If you are diagnosed with BV, the conventional treatment is a course of antibiotics. You would normally take this orally or apply it to the problem area.

The big problem with using antibiotics is that they only to cure your symptoms and not address the root cause of your problem. So it is possible for you to finish a course of antibiotics and have your bacterial Vaginosis symptoms return in as little as 2 weeks.

The other major problem you could have is the side effects associated with using antibiotics. Many women have reportedly felt sick, nauseous and unwell as a result of using these drugs. That is why I always recommend natural remedies whenever possible. They tend to have no side effects at all.

Home remedies for Bacterial Vaginosis:

1. Oil of oregano is an essential oil squeezed out of the oregano leaves and has been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory properties. This is the reason why it is perfect for bacterial Vaginosis.

Depending on the make and strength of the type you get, you will need to dilute it with some other liquid before drinking e.g. apple juice.

2. Yogurt: This is another simple but very effective remedy for bacterial Vaginosis. It contains lactobacillus acidophilus. This is “good bacteria” that will help restore the imbalance that caused the infection.

3. Apple cider preparation: Simply dilute a cup of apple cider vinegar in a tub of water and use it to bath paying close attention to your private part. This will provide immediate but temporary relief from the itching and burning sensation.
