subject: Natural Treatment For Vaginosis - Quickly Restore Balance With These Economical Cures [print this page] Natural treatment for vaginosis can be all that is needed to eliminate this very common condition. Indeed, many women spent a great deal of money on conventional treatments, including expensive antibiotics, all to no avail, when a few simple steps can be all that's required.
Bacterial vaginosis (also known just as "vaginosis") is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria within the vagina. There can be various causes of this imbalance, such as over-washing, the use of perfumed products, wearing tight panties, a change of sexual partner, eating a poor diet and smoking. Rarely is it caused by poor hygiene.
The key to getting rid of the symptoms, which include a foul fishy smelling discharge and itching and irritation of the vaginal tissues, is to get the bacterial levels within the vagina back to normal and one way of doing this is by using natural treatment for vaginosis.
Within the vagina there are large quantities of both good and bad bacteria. By supplementing the "good" bacteria whilst using techniques to reduce the "bad" bacteria, balance can be restored very quickly and often with hours, the symptoms will subside.
One good natural treatment for vaginosis is to simply stop washing too much. Although it is so tempting to wash several times a day to try to get rid of the smell, this simply doesn't work and causes the body to produce more bacteria, as the delicate vaginal tissues are stripped of their natural lubricants. Wash just twice a day and use unperfumed soap. In the meantime, wear a thin panty pad and change this for a fresh one several times during the day.
Next, take a good all round dietary supplement if you feel your diet is lacking. This can help your body to rebalance itself. You can also help by eating a pot of natural probiotic yogurt each day. Speaking of probiotic yogurt, another natural treatment for vaginosis involves soaking a tampon in this yogurt and placing in the vagina for an hour or two. Although messy, this can help to replenish levels of good bacteria.
Lastly, another quick way to kill off harmful bacteria is to add a few drops of the very powerful natural antibacterial oil, tea tree oil, to your bathwater.
