   Treating Naturally
   - Eat or apply plain yogurt directly to the vagina. Alternatively, a tampon soaked in yogurt can be inserted.

   - Garlic has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Garlic can be taken internally or can be applied directly on the vagina.

   - Use calendula herb to reduce the inflammation.

   - Herbs like tea tree oil, black walnut, Echinacea and goldenseal are effective in treating bacterial vaginitis.

   - Use boric acid douche to acidify vaginal pH.

   - Douche to reduce inflammation Add 12 tsp of calendula to boiling water, steep the mixture and cool it before use.

   - Soak a tea bag in water and cool it in refrigerator and then apply it to the vagina.

   i don’t think there is one, you need antibiotic to kill a bacterial infection…. and yogurt isn’t a cure for a yeast infection either, probably your last yeast infection didn’t clear up completely and has now caused the vaginosis. If you are allergic to the medication.. tell your doctor. Also, what are you judging your allergic reaction by? because any antibiotic can make you sick sometimes… but if you swell, get really really sick with a fever, or get a rash/hives, then yes that’s a serious reaction…but nasea, diarrea, headache, that’s pretty common.

   Pour 1/4 cup of vinegar into your bath and sit in it until it is cool. Do this every day for a week. You can buy larger bottles of vinegar at the grocery store for cheap in the salad dressing sections usually. The vinegar helps restore the vaginal pH because most bacteria can’t survive in the more acidic environments (this is why their by-products cause you’re vagina to become more basic rather than acidic).

   There is no home remedy for bacterial vaginosis. The ONLY cure for bacterial infections is antibiotics.
