Bacterial vaginosis is an inflammation of the genitourinary tract (GIT) of women. The infection is characterized by a thick, white, fishy smelling discharge from vagina. B.V. is caused due to growth of a set of bacteria leading to pH imbalance in the affected area.

This is followed by redness, swelling, pain and burning sensation to the infected woman. Bacterial vaginosis home remedies include a variety of substances, like for instance, cold water, yogurt and tea just to mention a few. B.V. is easily curable via home remedies and some precautionary measures involving personal hygiene.
Home remedies prove significant in dealing with the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. Below I have listed nine home remedies that have proven to give bacterial vaginosis relief.
1 Cotton Plugs with Yogurt
Yogurt can be used either by two ways:
- Applying it directly over the affected area.
- Soak cotton plugs in yogurt and insert it into vagina
Yogurt treatment has been clinically investigated and found to be beneficial, especially for recurring B.V.
2 Chilled Water
A tissue soaked in cold water can be laid across the affected area to obtain relief from redness and swelling due to constriction of blood vessels. This is probably the simplest home remedy for relieving burning sensation and pain.
3 Water Soaked Tea Bags
Take a tea bag and soak it in water. Then put it in the refrigerator and let it cool for a while. Now, apply the tea bag externally to relieve itching.
4 Turmeric Powder Dissolved in Milk
Dissolve turmeric powder in milk and use it until the symptoms disappear. Turmeric powder is anti fungal.
5 Powdered Neem
Neem has excellent antibacterial effects and is always advised for dermatological problems. Neem powder can alleviate bacteria from vaginal site.
6 Garlic - Applied Over the Affected Area or Taken Orally.
Take a garlic capsule every day or apply it directly over the infected area. Wrap a peeled garlic clove in gauze and try to put it in vagina. Repeat the treatment after an interval of 3-4 hours and your infection will likely be reduced.
7 Juice from Pressed Vegetables
Juice from green vegetable, ginger, parsley and garlic also has a good effect over the pain and itching during bacterial vaginosis.
8 Warm Baths with Cedar Oil
When bathing in hot water, you can add a spoon of salt and few drops of cedar oil in it. Cedar oil works well for relieving itching.
9 Leaves of Tracheal
Tracheal is a natural herb and helps the body getting rid of toxins. Make a tea out of a teaspoonful of dry tracheal leaves in a cup with hot water.
For preventive purposes or for avoiding severe B.V. symptoms you should carefully cleanse your underwear, practice clean toilet hygiene as well as taking warm baths often. Items for daily use, such as pillows, bed sheets, towels and the like should me washed separately. The best way to prevent these awful vaginal bacteria is probably to eat yogurt regularly.

1 Take Nutritional supplements
Vitamins such as A, B complex, C, D and E contain antioxidants that help in treating bacterial vaginosis. Applications of vitamin E from prepared creams or powdered capsules have proven to help relieve itching.
2 Eat Yogurt
Lactobacillusacidophilus as well as L. bifidus, present in yogurt help restore the acidic balance in the vagina. These remedies can be taken orally or introduced directly into the vagina. Plain yogurt that contains live acidophilus cultures is normally eaten directly.
Acidophilus capsules or powder can be taken orally. Another effective alternative that improves the vaginal area is vaginal inserts of tampons soaked in yogurt,
3 Use Beta-Dine and Gentian Violet
Beta-dine as well as Gentian Violet are both excellent in countering Candida vulvovaginitis. Betadine is an efficient antiseptic iodine bacterial vaginosis home remedy, but should be avoided for treating bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy. Gentian Violet is an efficient antifungal stain and effective in relieving the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. The drawback is that they are messy and leave stains. Some women have reported allergic reactions to either or both of them.
4 Using Boric Acid Douche
A boric acid douche is an ideal way to acidify the vaginal pH. This BV treatment prevents unwanted bacteria from expanding and destroys that's already there. A drawback is that some women seem to be over-sensitive to this douche.
Summer's Eve medicated douche, containing potassium iodide has also proved to be an effective method of lowering the vaginal pH. Another bacterial vaginosis home remedy that has proven to be efficient is a vinegar douche containing a mixture of one tablespoon of vinegar per quart of warm water.
5 Dieting Issues
Foods containing yeast, like for example cheese - especially cheese containing molds, like blue cheese, sugar, vinegar, alcohol, soy sauce, chocolate, fruits and fermented foods should be avoided.
6 Homeopathy
Homeopathy has proven to work against BV. Common remedies for homeopathic preparations are sepia and pulsatilla.
7 Using Cold Washcloths
Cold compresses can effectively be used for itching as well as swelling. When a cold cloth is placed on the affected area, the blood vessels are constricted, thus making the area less swollen and red.
8 Fill You Tub with Warm Water and Enjoy It
Spending an hour or so in a tub filled with warm water can be an efficient bacterial vaginosis remedy because it is very soothing to irritated genital tissues. Don't use soap. The natural oils of the skin are the body's natural lipid barriers against germs. Soap dries out these natural oils and should therefore be avoided.
Each bacterial vaginosis home remedy mentioned in this article offers a safe, inexpensive and efficient alternative treatment.
Nevertheless, consult your doctor before you start any alternative treatment.
