Treating Bacterial Vaginitis Naturally

Treating bacterial vaginitis naturally is a worthwhile option to consider, particularly if you are one of the many thousands of women who have tried antibiotics and over the counter treatments, all to no avail. Indeed, well over half of all women using conventional meds for this condition find that they have repeated flare-ups within a few short weeks.

The key to treating bacterial vaginitis naturally is to rebalance the pH level of the vagina which will have become alkaline, rather than maintaining its' naturally healthy slightly acidic level. Experts agree that there is no one "cause" of BV, but that the imbalance could have occurred due to a combination of reasons. Successful treatment therefore lies in being able to use a multifaceted approach which encompasses each and every <i>possible</i> cause and systematically eliminates them.

There are a number of simple strategies you can try right away which will help get you on the road to recovery. Three of the most popular are tea tree oil, probiotic yogurt and cider vinegar.

* Tea Tree Oil-This naturally occurring oil has extremely powerful antibacterial properties and can be used to great effect for treating bacterial vaginitis. It is available in pessary form from health food stores and these get directly to the source of the problem. Alternatively, it can be used in its traditional form-simply add about 10-12 drops to a warm bath.

* Probiotic Yogurt-This contains live bacterial cultures which are identical to the beneficial bacteria which help to maintain the natural balance in the vagina. Try eating a small pot each day. You can also soak a tampon in the yogurt and insert into the vagina for an hour or two. This can help replenish depleted supplies.

* Cider Vinegar-The acidic nature of cider vinegar helps to maintain the correct pH levels of the vagina which are inevitably disrupted when BV occurs. A couple of cupfuls added to a warm bath can help calm down the burning sensation in no time.

Prompt action is always a good idea if you have BV as although not dangerous in the early stages, if left untreated bacterial vaginosis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. There is no doubt that using a tried and tested system is the way forward as it leaves no room for error.
