How To Naturally Treat Vaginosis

If you are wanting to know how to naturally treat vaginosis, then it is important to understand a little about the nature of this condition. Vaginosis, also known as bacterial vaginosis and BV, is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacterial flora which resides in the vagina.

Usually, there is a large proportion of beneficial bacteria and a small amount of natural harmful bacteria and when the proportions change, this causes the typical symptoms of BV which include itching and irritation of the vaginal area (in most but not all) and a watery, foul fishy-smelling vaginal discharge ch can be so strong to be noticeable by those around.

Nobody knows exactly what the cause of vaginosis is in an individual, but there are a number of common causes which may well be present in one form or another in a sufferer, either in isolation or in combination.

* Smoking

* A new sexual partner

* Poor nutrition

* A weakened immune system

* Douching

* Using perfumed products around the vagina

* Wearing restrictive, tight underclothes, pantyhose or tight trousers

To naturally treat vaginosis, the key is to restore balance to the bacteria within the vagina. An obvious starting point is to consider the list of common causes above and decide if any might apply to you and take steps to eliminate them. In terms of a new sexual partner, you should consider using condoms for a while until the condition settles and as far as washing is concerned, wash only twice a day and use unperfumed soap.

Using some simple economical products, you can naturally treat vaginosis at home. Tea tree oil, cider vinegar and probiotic capsules are all recognised methods. Tea tree oil added to your bath can help to kill off harmful bacteria and cider vinegar, with a PH level similar to that of a healthy vagina, can restore balance. Strengthening the immune system is an important part of treatment and taking daily probiotic capsules together with eating a healthy diet, rich in fresh fruits and vegetables will help equip your body with higher natural defences to naturally treat vaginosis.
