No More BV - Herbal Soap with ACV - by Sacral Healing Garden

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection associated with adverse reproductive health outcomes like preterm birth and increased risk of sexually transmitted infections. Current FDA-approved treatments, such as metronidazole and clindamycin, provide short-term relief but often fail to prevent recurrence. Approximately 50-80% of women experience BV relapse within a year, partly due to insufficient recolonization of beneficial Lactobacillus species. Research is ongoing into alternative treatments, including probiotics, vaginal microbiome transplants, pH modulation, and behavioral changes to reduce recurrence rates.

Online articles discuss apple cider vinegar baths, douches, and oral consumption in the context of BV management. Although oral consumption does not have any effect, modulation of the PH in the vagina may provide relief.

As a healthcare professional, I highly recommend considering the use of herbal washes or soaps to relieve symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. This condition, caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina, can be uncomfortable and frustrating for many women. While traditional treatments involve antibiotics, herbal washes and soaps offer a more natural and gentle approach. By incorporating ingredients such as apple cider vinegar powder, yarrow flowers, echinacea root, and calendula, this soap can help to rebalance the pH levels of the vagina and reduce inflammation and discomfort. Additionally, No More BV can be used as a preventive measure to maintain a healthy vaginal environment. With its effectiveness and minimal side effects, herbal washes and soaps are a promising option for those seeking relief from bacterial vaginosis.

Directions:   Use a clean washcloth to apply directly to the vaginal area on the inside of the labia and opening.  Use gentle strokes.  This soap can be applied warm or cool. Apply twice daily for 5 days. DO NOT DOUCHE
