I may have found my cure for BV!!

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have battled the dreaded BV for as long as I can remember, probably 20+ years. It is one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to someone.

Throughout the years, I think I have tried just about everything. Some worked for a while and then it would eventually come back.

A few months ago, I learned that if you have it too long you can develop biofilms which cause the bacteria to be resistant. So I researched what can get rid of biofilms. One thing I found was Black seed oil. So, I bought some and diluted it with Coconut oil. I had found the ratio online. 3 parts coconut oil to 1 part black seed oil. Mix them and soak a tampon with it and wear overnight. I think it was working a little but not completely going away. I did some more research and found people using tea tree oil and also some using oregano oil.

So I have been experimenting. For the last week I have been mixing 3 tsp coconut oil, 1tsp black seed oil, 6 drops tea tree oil and 6 drops oregano oil. Mix it together well and soak as much as I can in a tampon and stick it in as far as I can comfortably and wear over night. I recommend wearing a liner as it can be messy.

I use pH test strips to keep track. I am starting to get super excited because this morning, day 7 of doing this my ph is the lowest it has been in years. It's ALMOST normal!!

If you haven't, I would recommend trying this. Like I said, I have been battling for years and so far this has given the best results for me.
