In researching bacterial vaginosis, I did run across some strange “cures” for the condition:

Yes there are prescription meds that will relieve the symptoms and yes there is one home remedy that works to end BV as well as keep bacterial vaginosis from reoccurring, but I had to share these home remedies as some of them were just over the top:

I probably don’t need to put this in, but seriously these are for informational value (?) only and do NOT try these at home….

The Scary Bacterial Vaginosis Cure

In the world of homeopathy, “like treats like” so to end the “fishy” smell that often is a big part of bacterial vaginosis, I found a home remedy that recommends creating a vaginal wash that consists of

1- can of tuna fish (White Albacore if possible)
2- tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
1-cup of warm water

Directions - toss the lot into a blender and frappe - then put into your douche or use a washcloth and wash your vaginal area up to 3 times a day.
Love the part where it says - “DO NOT RINSE”.

I’m thinking if this actually worked it would not only keep away bacterial vaginosis but also friends, neighbors but you’d be massively popular with cats and otters.

Another great one is the “Burn Your Bacterial Vaginosis Out of Your Body” that consists of eating pickled jalapeno peppers at every meal. Not at all sure how that translates to your nether regions…but as much as I love jalapeno peppers, that’s a bit much for even me. Jalapenos and ice cream for dessert? I don’t think so.

Here’s another one for the books, “Avocado and Apple Cider Vinegar Douche” you’re supposed to do this 5-8 times a day and if it doesn’t work at least you’ll smell like a salad. The premise is that the avocado “feeds” the good flora in the vagina with its high fat content and the apple cider vinegar gets rid of the bad flora causing the bacterial vaginosis. (My question was does a girl leave the avocado in chunks or slices?)

Seriously, those are just scary - if you want a good cure for bacterial vaginosis, check out this guide on how to not only stop the current outbreak of BV but also end it and stop it from returning and it doesn’t include avocado or tuna….
