10 Home Remedies For BV
Home Remedy #8: Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is an essential oil; basically, a volatile type of oil that vaporizes easily. Research shows that tea tree oil has the potential to kill some types of bacteria and fungi. In BV, the overgrowth of bacteria and the mixed infestation with yeasts can be corrected by using tea tree oil.
Tea tree oil suppositories are one of the ways of using this home remedy for BV. Suppositories are a form of medical treatment in which a particular dosage is intended for insertion into the vagina. Alternatively, you can use a tampon soaked in a mixture of tea tree oil and a carrier liquid such as coconut oil. Insert the tampon gently into the vagina. Note that switching to an alternative method of treatment is recommended if irritation or allergic reactions are experienced with the use of tea tree oil.
