10 Symptoms and Treatments of Bacterial Vaginosis

7. Drops of tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial and has antifungal properties. This is good news for Bacterial Vaginosis sufferers, as it will work to clear your BV efficiently without being harmful, as long as you don't use too much tea tree. Just a few drops of this essential oil added to a small bowl of warm water are enough to use as a bathing solution. Rinse your vagina with this solution every day for up to 3 – 4 weeks. Bathe your vagina gently. You can also add three drops of tea tree to lukewarm bathwater, plus a cup of white vinegar, and soak for half an hour, but this remedy needs only to be performed every other day for as long as needed. The smell of tea tree is also so strong that is suffocates the foul smell that BV brings about.
