Bacterial Vaginosis Natural Remedies
Bacterial vaginosis can often be confused with such infections as a yeast infection or trichomoniasis. These three infections are the most common type of vaginitis. Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can result in itching, pain and vaginal discharge. The general cause of these infections is due to a change of balance of bacteria in the vagina. There are different types of treatment that can be used for this infection as well as bacterial vaginosis natural remedies.
Many women can acquire this infection in their lifetime and majority of them are probably not aware that they have it. Even though there are symptoms to bacterial vaginosis, such as a fish like odor discharge that is more prominent after sexual intercourse, as well as a discharge that is a milky white color, yellow or gray.
If you suffer from this infection, there are such treatments as creams and gels that can be rubbed into the vagina to clear it up, as well as antibiotics that can be prescribed by your doctor. There however also bacterial vaginosis natural remedies that can be used such as:
Garlic – which is known to have many antibacterial and antifungal properties that can help to fight against infections. You can take 1 or 2 garlic capsules every day until the symptoms subside.
Goldenseal – which is known to contain a lot of immunity-boosting properties, it also has a chemical that is known to fight off bacteria that can reside in the vagina mucous membranes. A recommended dosage for this remedy is 2 500-milligrame capsules that can be taken once to twice a day until symptoms begin to subside.
Tracheal – This is known as a traditional herb that is used to help remove toxins as well as to help restore a natural flow of bodily fluids. This simple at home remedy can be used by soaking a teaspoon of dried tracheal into 1 cup of hot water. All you have to do is drink this before bedtime. If however you do not like the taste, there are also capsules that can be taken before bedtime on a daily basis.
I am a huge fan of natural remedies. I use tea tree oil and other things like garlic to remedy a host of ailments, rashes etc.
Natural remedies are fantastic and i think we need to look back at our roots(excuse the pun) to re-visit some of the natural remedies that have been used succesfully for many centuries rather than spending millions on research when the solution is already out there
