4. Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is one of the best things that you can keep in your cupboard, but it’s true that a lot of people never think to keep it in the house – and most people don’t imagine that you can use apple cider vinegar for a range of things that aren’t just your food. It happens to be useful for a lot more than just cooking, and you can use apple cider vinegar as a way to naturally rebalance the pH of the body.
Since bacterial vaginosis is commonly caused and worsened by improper pH levels in the body, a soaking bath with a little bit of apple cider vinegar (1/4 cup to a bathful of water) is one of the best ways to restore the pH back to normal and to get rid of the infection without resorting to the use of any antibiotics.
Treatment with apple cider vinegar should be effective in a few weeks. If it’s not, give another method on this list a try or see your doctor: It might not be bacterial vaginosis, or you might be re-triggering the same infection over and over again.
