More and more women are switching to natural cures and successfully treating bacterial vaginosis at home.
A big benefit that a natural cure for bacterial vaginosis has, is that nobody else ever needs to know that you have this infection. You don't need me to tell you how awkward a Bacterial vaginosiis infection can be. Some women actually feel dirty and ashamed at having this condition. If you have BV, please don't feel ashamed, as it is a condition which is more common than yeast infections, and at the end of the day it is just an infection.
Another advantage of a natural bacterial vaginosiscures is that it is safer than medicinal cures. When i say safer, I mean that there are no side effects with natural cures for bacterial vaginosis. Here is one example of what I am talking about:
In the vast majority of cases, an antibiotic is prescribed for a BV condition. Although this can work for some women, it will not work for all women. The other thing that you may not know is that one of the side effects of using antibiotics can be the development of a yeast infection. You really don't want to swap one infection for another.
The symptoms of BV will appear when the balance of the bacteria in the vagina becomes disrupted. Meaning that more bad bacteria is growing compared to the good bacteria. In order to get rid of the fungi the bacterial balance needs to be restored to normal levels. Medications will help to reduce, and in some cases get rid of the infection, but what they don't do, is to attack the actual source.
A home cure for bacterial vaginosis will target both the symptoms and the root cause.
There are plenty of purely natural remedies which can work for you, but I do need to tell you that just because one natural cure has been effective for someone else, it does not mean that it will work in the same way for your vaginal infection.
However the good news is that there are a variety of natural remedies for BV which tend to work on a good number of women who try them. The fact is that you may already have some of these remedies available at home, but if not, they are relatively cheap to purchase.
Apple cider vinegar can be pretty effective in helping to reduce the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. You can use it in two ways. First of all you can add some to your bath water.
Secondly you can apply it directly to the vaginal area. It's acidic nature helps to kill the bacteria which has led to you having difficulties with BV. However, applying it directly may cause a little irritation in some women, if this happens to you, just dilute it with a little water.
The fact is that you will find a natural cure for bacterial vaginosis that you can make use of at home, after a little trial and error.
