Bacterial vaginosis is an itchy vaginal infection, symptoms of which include whitish grey vaginal discharge, an unpleasant vaginal odor and pain. It affects one in every three women at some point of time or the other during their fertile years. Irrespective of whether you are sexually active or not this infection can affect you. This article is basically for women looking out for alternative methods of BV cure, It is for those who have already tried using bacterial vaginosis antibiotics with no avail.
Bacterial vaginosis antibiotics prescribed by doctors eliminate not only the bad bacteria responsible for the infection but also the good ones. Hence immediately upon taking the medicines you find relief. However once you stop using the medicines the bad bacteria once again starts multiplying rapidly and the infection recurs.
In this article I am going to share a few herbal remedies which can be used for BV cure:
Tea Tree Oil
This oil is very good at fighting BV and has potent anti-microbal and anti-fungal properties. You can use it by mixing a few drops into water to use as a douche or by adding a few drops of the oil to a sitz bath.
Garlic
Garlic has strong antibacterial properties and is especially useful in getting rid of vaginal odor associated with bv. You can take garlic in raw form or supplements. Alternatively peel a clove, wrap it in gauze and use it for direct vaginal insertion.
Black Walnut
Black Walnut which is available in health stores in supplement form has strong antibacterial properties to effectively fight BV.
Goldenseal
Goldenseal can be taken in supplement form to boosts the immune system of the body and fight bacterial infections. For BV cure you must take 2 goldenseal capsules once a day for best results.
Echinacea
Echinacea is also very good for our immune system and popularly used in BV cure. It can be taken in tincture or supplement form.
Oil of oregano
This is an essential oil squeezed out of the oregano leaves, and has strong antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory properties. Depending on strength of the type of oil you are able to procure from health food stores you will need to dilute it with some other liquid before drinking e.g. orange juice.
The above herbal remedies should be able to provide you relief from vaginal odor and other related symptoms of FB within 4-5 days of use. In case these do not provide BV cure within this said time period, you must immediately switch over to other formal methods of treating the infection.
