Quite frankly, antibiotics don't work half as well as natural cures for bacterial vaginosis (BV) when it comes to finding a permanent solution that will keep your BV away for good.
It is true that antibiotics are the most effective when it comes to the immediate treatment of BV.
They do a good job at killing off the excess bacteria, but there's more to treating BV than just killing bacteria.
In the long run, antibiotics will make your condition worse.
On the other hand, natural cures for bacterial vaginosis are designed to restore the environment inside your vagina, back to what it was before you got the infection, back to its healthy natural state.
What Causes Bacterial Vaginosis? Normally, your vagina is very acidic.
It contains good, healthy bacteria that make the vagina acidic so that bad bacteria can't multiply.
Anything that makes your vagina less acidic, or kills off the good bacteria inside your vagina can cause the bad bacteria to overgrow, giving you BV.
This can be caused by douching, stress, smoking, taking the contraceptive pill and a diet high in fat and low in folate, vitamin A, and calcium.
How Do These Natural Cures For Bacterial Vaginosis Work? Natural cures for bacterial vaginosis work by replacing the good bacteria in your vagina and restoring your vagina to its normal level of acidity.
There are lots of ways to do this.
