Re: Has anyone used natural remedies for BV?

[Guest guest]

Do they smell or give you an odor?? Do they burn?

-------------- Original message --------------

A nurse practicioner recommended tea tree oil suppositories (I found them at Whole Foods) for recurring BV; couldn't tell if they helped a lot or not but the BV hasn't come back since I tried them (not sure if it's an effect of the suppositories or just taking better care of myself in general). I think they also sell them online through Amazon.com.

I used boric acid suppositories. They are supposed to work on BV and yeast. They didn't work on either for me.

It's not natural, but Rephresh is marketed in Europe as a cure for BV.

They could not get that labeling in the US. Basically, it works by

acidfying your vagina so the bacteria cannot survive.

Good luck!

I used boric acid suppositories. They are supposed to work on BV and yeast. They didn't work on either for me.

Hi Sherri--

They smell a little like tea tree oil (but not in a really strong way), so a little herbally/ a little citrusy (?). The first one burned a little initially when I first put it in but that went away after an hour (may be different, depending on how sensitive you feel at the time, etc). It's prescribed as a treatment in Europe for BV, so it's worth a shot.

I thought I was the only one that they didn't work for. Did you buy them or make your own? I made my own.

I purchased them at Whole Foods. Apparently they're quite popular as

they were sold out a few times before I was able to get them.

Hi Sherri--

I bought the Yeast Arrest brand. I've never tried making my own.

My doctor told me to use boric acid twice a week for maintenance. I think I'll try Yeast Arrest this time.
