If you are unfortunate enough to be suffering from the symptoms of BV, you are certainly not alone.
Over three quarters of women will have this condition at some point in their adult lives.
Some women will just experience an isolated outbreak but for many others, this is simply the start of a condition which will recur repeatedly.
Conventional medication can help to relieve symptoms, but as it does not treat the root cause.
However, natural cures for bacterial vaginosis can be a worthwhile option to try and many women have found them a much better option.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria within the vagina.
It can be difficult to determine just what has caused the imbalance.
However, the end result is that there is a shift of the pH levels to alkaline from the normally acidic levels of the vagina and that this causes the unpleasant symptoms, including a watery white or gray discharge, a bad fishy odor and often unbearable itching and burning.
Restoring the correct balance is essential, and natural cures for bacterial vaginosis can help do this so much better than antibiotics or over the counter meds.
Three simple BV treatments are live, natural yogurt, tea tree oil and cider vinegar.
1.
Natural Live Yogurt-This contains probiotics which are rich is the good bacteria which is required to keep the vagina healthy.
Try soaking a tampon and leaving it in place for an hour or two.
2.
Tea Tree Oil-This very powerful natural antibacterial substance and can help kill off harmful bacteria.
Using tea tree oil pessaries is an excellent way to ensure that it gets to the source of the problem.
Alternatively, some women find that adding a few drops to a warm bath can help to bring relief.
3.
Cider Vinegar-The acidic nature of cider vinegar can help to restore the healthy balance of the vagina.
Add 2-3 cupfuls to a warm bath.
