How to Naturally Treat Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial Vaginosis, also known as BV, is a common condition in women where bacteria in the vagina becomes unbalanced. This is usually caused by an overgrowth of one bacteria, which also ends up destroying a lot of the healthy bacteria. Often times bacterial vaginosis goes untreated, but the best way to treat bacterial vaginosis is to make some subtle changes to your diet.

Instructions

1. The most important step in treating bacterial vaginosis is to avoid sugar. Eating sugar actually feeds the bacteria of vaginitis. You should also avoid refined carbs and alcohol.

2. Adding yogurt to your diet helps to feed the healthy bacteria, which helps to fight against bad bacteria. Try eating 2 servings of yogurt daily, but make sure that the yogurt is live and contains the bacteria known as lactobacillus.

3. Eating garlic, which is antibacterial, can help to fight bacterial vaginosis. Try eating more fresh garlic, or take some in supplemental form.
