What are the symptoms and causes
BV? Discharge One of the most common symptoms
that you could be suffering from Bacterial
Vaginosis is the appearance of vaginal discharge.
This is often white in colour with a somewhat
unpleasant fishy aroma. Thrush Another common
symptom of BV are yeast based infections such as
Thrush and Candida. These infections can be a
sign that our bodies pH level is too acidic and
steps should be taken to alkalise the system.

How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar for BV

• An imbalance in vaginal bacteria often causes a
  condition called bacterial vaginosis, or BV.
• BV is characterized by discharge from the vagina
  accompanied by several symptoms such as itching,
  burning sensation, and swelling.
• Most commonly, BV occurs because the regular
  acidity of the vagina is disrupted, leading to a
  lower pH than normal.
• To remedy this, apple cider vinegar can be
  applied to the vaginal area to restore the normal
  pH balance, creating a better environment for
  good bacteria.
• However, apple cider vinegar is only a temporary
  remedy for quick relief.

Douching

• Mix two cups of water with one teaspoon of apple
  cider vinegar. Put the mixture in a douching bag
  and perform the douching process. For the best
  results, this should be done every day until the
  BV is gone completely. In most cases, this can
  take about as quickly as one week or as long as
  two weeks. Don't be tempted to rush the process
  with excess douching as douching too often or
  using too much apple cider vinegar will wash away
  not only bad bacteria, but good bacteria as well.

Bathing

• To run an ACV bath, first make sure your bathtub
  is clean.
• Fill it with a shallow pool of warm water and mix
  in roughly one cup of apple cider vinegar.
• The exact measurements should vary depending on
  how much water there is in the tub, but
  generally, a safe amount would be roughly 100 to
  250 ml.
• Once the bath is ready, simply soak in it like
  you would do in a normal bath.
• However, make sure to limit it to around 20
  minutes, as overdoing it can increase the
  vagina's pH too much.

Tampon Soak

• Another alternative to douching would be to soak
  a tampon in a mixture of water and apple cider
  vinegar. Leave the tampon in your vagina
  overnight and immediately dispose of it the next
  morning. Do this every night until your symptoms
  disappear.

Drinking ACV

• Drinking apple cider vinegar for BV relief is
  really not very effective.  It's much better to
  bath in it or douche with it.  However,  drinking
  apple cider vinegar on a regular basis can be a
  very effective maintenance method for preventing
  bacterial vaginosis in the first place.
