How to Get Rid of BV Naturally - 3 Herbs to Cure BV

on Friday, April 8, 2011

Antibiotics aren't the only way you can cure bacterial vaginosis. There are many natural herbs that are just as powerful, and in my case much better than taking antibiotics. Antibiotics temporarily mask the symptoms of the infection instead of healing the root cause. It kills all the bacteria in the vagina, which can lead to recurring infections. When all the bacteria is killed there's no good bacteria left to fight off any harmful bacteria that may occur in the vagina. Instead of using antibiotics there are three powerful herbs that can heal bv.

1. Echinacea is really good for boosting the immune system and it also has antiviral powers. Echinacea increases a chemical called properdin in our body. This chemical helps our immune system fight off viruses and bacteria. During an infection you should take 300 milligrams three times a day until you have no more symptoms.

2. Garlic is also powerful to help strengthen your immune system to fight off the infection. Garlic is like a herbal antibiotic due to the chemical alicin. Alicin kills and stops the growth of bacteria. During an infection you should take one or two capsules a day until the infection clears up.

3. Licorice is an excellent to treat bv because it balances the estrogen hormone in our body. When we have the correct estrogen balance we have a healthier vagina, better circulation, and natural lubrication to protect against harmful bacteria. You should take 200 to 300 milligrams of this herb two or three times daily for one or two months.
