BV stands for bacterial vaginosis which is one of the most irritating condition known to women and of course if you have PMS, menustrating or just given birth you are probably suffering from it.
When most people first hear that herbal and natural remedies are available to treat B. V., they are pretty skeptical. The first thing they think is that there is no way a folk remedy can get them out of pain and that it is just an outrageous idea.
This is because we have been trained to believe.that herbs or home remedies can take forever to become active in our systems.
I have what is called a 3 Step Attack Plan for getting you out of immediate pain.
This 3 Step Attack Plan that battles the evils of bacterial vaginosis consists of –
STEP 1 – Rinsing out the vagina daily with a hydrogen peroxide douche
STEP 2 – Taking at least 1000 mcg of Folic Acid a day
STEP 3 – Taking vaginal acidophilus supplements
I guarantee you that if you follow this three step plan you will experience immediate relief from itching, discharge and pain.
Most of us already have 3% antiseptic hydrogen peroxide in our cupboards. We use it to treat cuts and scrapes and prevent infection.
The recipe douche that is going to immediately help relieve the itchiness, wetness and fishy smell is —
• 1/4 cup of 3% antiseptic hydrogen peroxide
• two cups distilled water
Why use distilled water? There is theory that ordinary tap water can encourage the growth of anaerobic organisms so distilled water is best. It's been boiled; it's pure and is devoid of microorganism.
Douche once daily with this mixture until your symptoms disappear. For extra effectiveness douche twice. Keep douching after the symptoms appear for extra effectiveness.
Don't like the idea of douching with hydrogen peroxide. There is a substitute douche that works just as well but it is slightly more expensive than the hydrogen peroxide douche.
A daily vaginal douche with a 0.4% solution of tea tree oil in on quart of water can also be effective.
The recipe is
• 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil
• 2 cups of water
Douche daily until symptoms are completely gone.

When you treat these infections you end up taking a lot of antibiotics too.
Antibiotic use depletes your body of vitamins and in some cases actually retards your digestive system's ability to absorb nutrients.
The solution is to fortify with folic acid. Folic acid is a form of a water-soluble B vitamin. Folate occurs naturally in food and folic acid is the synthetic form of this vitamin. We don't retain it in our body so it is easily destroyed by medications. In food it is foundin cereals, okra, asparagus, fruits, vegetables, yeast, mushrooms, tomato juice and oranges.
