Gynecological infections chronic natural remedy
BM240 is best used for chronic gynecological infections, menstrual disorders, inflammation of the cervix, and viral infections of the skin or mucous membranes.

 

Gynecology is the area of medicine responsible for treating women's disorders, particularly those of the reproductive organs. Having good gynecological health is vital for women's health and well-being.

Gynecological infections include several conditions that impact the genital tract and vagina. They can arise in the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, adnexa, or ovaries. These infections are caused by pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites that trigger disorders. 

If you are a woman, you’ve probably had a gynecological infection or inflammation at some point. These are pretty common but can be a bit complicated.

This blog contains info about some of the most common gynecological issues, their causes, and their symptoms. Plus, you’ll get access to powerful tips on treating these issues naturally, so you know what to do if they arise.

Common Gynecological Issues

Some common types of gynecological infections and inflammations are:

  • Vulvitis. The inflammation of the vulva, the outer part of the female genitalia.
  • Cervicitis. The inflammation of the cervix (the lower part of the uterus that creates a canal from the uterus into the vagina).
  • Vaginitis. There are different types of vaginitis:
    • Bacterial vaginosis. This is the most common type of vaginitis. It may be triggered by the disruption of the normal bacteria in the vagina. Bacterial vaginosis is frequently associated with sexual activity.
    • Yeast infections. Yeast infections, also named vaginal candidiasis, occur when fungal organisms arise in the vagina. These affect many women throughout their lives. Three out of four women have yeast infections at least once. This type of infection is easily treatable.
    • Trichomoniasis. A parasite causes this issue. It is transmitted during sexual intercourse with an infected person.
    • Noninfectious vaginitis. This type of vaginitis occurs when there is vaginal irritation but no infection. It may raise the odds of developing vaginal infections and urinary tract infections.
    • Atrophic vaginitis is noninfectious vaginitis that occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough estrogen. It can emerge from menopause, surgical removal of the ovaries, radiation therapy, or even after childbirth, especially in breastfeeding women.

To better understand these issues, look at their causes and symptoms.

    How can you naturally treat gynecological problems?

    The following home remedies are excellent options to alleviate most gynecological inflammation and infections. Make sure to give them a try.

    However, it would be best if you avoided these remedies in the following circumstances:

    Healthy pregnancy and easy labor remedy

    BIO26 is best used to promote a mother's general health and support the development of her unborn child. If taken throughout pregnancy, it may help with labor pain. 

     

    The alternatives below are perfect if you are not in any of these situations. It is crucial that you use these remedies correctly according to our recommendations.

    1. Yogurt

    Probiotics may be incredibly helpful when dealing with gynecological issues. They are “good” bacteria that support your health.

    A great source of probiotics is yogurt. Yogurt contains live bacteria, such as lactobacillus acidophilus, that can promote a healthy and balanced environment in your vagina.

    However, if you plan to use yogurt to treat your issue, ensure that it is plain Greek yogurt. It must have no added sugars, fruit, or flavoring at all. This is important because otherwise, yogurt can worsen the problem.

    To get the most benefits, you might want to do the following:

    • Add Greek yogurt to your diet.
    • Apply Greek yogurt over your vulva.
    • Insert the yogurt into your vagina using clean fingers or a clean tampon applicator.

    2. Probiotic suppositories and supplements

    If you are not the biggest fan of yogurt, you can also try other probiotic foods, a probiotic suppository, or a supplement.

    As understood, probiotics offer a range of benefits to your overall and gynecological health. They balance your vagina flora and improve your vagina’s health.

    You can ingest them in the form of oral supplements or suppositories. Remember that probiotic suppositories will produce quicker results, especially when addressing vaginal infections.

    3. Boric acid

    Another excellent home remedy is boric acid. Boric acid is an antiseptic that may help you with vaginal infections. It is a cost-friendly option that has been shown to be effective. You can use boric acid vaginal suppositories if you want to try them.

    Keep in mind that boric acid in large amounts is bad for your body. It can be moderately toxic and cause several problems, like kidney disorders or gastrointestinal issues.

    If you are pregnant or have sensitive skin, you should not use boric acid. Also, avoid using it on damaged skin and do not ingest it orally. If sensing any discomfort or irritation while using boric acid suppositories, discontinue their use.

    Kidney support natural remedy

    BM128 provides effective natural support for kidney function. Useful for poor kidney function, including back, side, and groin pain, urgent, frequent urination, pain or burning during urination, fever, nausea, vomiting, and pus or blood in the urine. 

     

    4. Essential oil of oregano

    Essential oil of oregano is also highly beneficial to your gynecological health. It can help treat vaginal infections and protect you against future ones.

    Ensure you use wild oregano oil, not the common oregano found in grocery stores.

    Are you planning on using it? Here is how to:

    • Mix three to five drops of essential wild oregano oil for each ounce of carrier oil, such as coconut oil or sweet almond oil.
    • Either massage this mixture in your skin or inhale it using a diffuser.

    Remember:

    • Do not massage this mixture into the skin around the vagina due to its sensitivity.
    • Essential oils are for external use only, so do not ingest them.
    Instant Calm Formula

    Instant Calm Formula provides effective natural support for anxiety, frustration, sleeplessness, and stress. It may promote calm, comfort, and focus.  

     

    5. Coconut oil

    Coconut oil has many proven benefits, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it a great ally when treating gynecological infections and inflammation.

    You can either consume it on your diet or massage it in the skin around your vagina. The coconut oil employed must be pure and organic.

    6. Tea tree oil

    Another oil of incredible help when treating gynecological issues is tea tree oil. According to research, this oil can help eliminate fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Thus, it is an excellent home remedy for vaginal infections.

    As another essential oil, you should use it in the same way as wild oregano oil. This means:

    • Mix some drops of essential tea tree oil with carrier oil, like olive oil or jojoba oil.
    • Massage it in your skin or inhale it with the help of a diffuser.

    There are also prepared tea tree vaginal suppositories available in the market that you can choose to use.

    Once again, remember that essential oils should only be used externally. Never massage them directly into your skin without diluting them with another carrier oil.

    Stop using it if feeling discomfort or irritation.

    Apple cider vinegar

    7. Apple cider vinegar

    You can take an apple cider vinegar bath to treat gynecological issues. You will only need to prepare a lukewarm bath and add a half cup of apple cider vinegar. Then, stay in it for 20 minutes to feel the benefits. You can also consume more apple cider vinegar in your diet.

    Apple cider vinegar is beneficial for your gynecological health as it helps you to get rid of harmful microorganisms.

    Do not confuse this tip with douching! Douching removes all good and bad bacteria from your vagina. When searching for home treatments, you may find some sources indicating douching as a good option. However, this practice can worsen your problem and increase your risk of developing future vaginal issues. Thus, avoid douching with any substance.

    8. Garlic

    Garlic is a superfood with numerous benefits for your health. At the gynecological level, research shows that it can help eliminate Candida fungus, which is responsible for yeast infections. Thus, garlic can help treat these infections.

    To enjoy its advantages, consume it more often. Do not insert it into your vagina, as some sources may recommend, since it can cause burns and pain.

    9. Hydrogen peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide can eliminate bacteria, which may help treat genital problems.

    You can use it in two different ways:

    1. Mixing it into a bath.
    2. Combining it with water and applying the mixture to your skin. In this case, you can use similar water and hydrogen peroxide quantities.

    Never use this substance internally, and avoid using it for long periods.

    10. Vitamin C

    Vitamin C plays an essential role in your immune system and skin health. It also has antimicrobial properties, which are super valuable when treating vaginal infections and inflammation.

    To improve your capacity to treat gynecological issues, raise your ingestion of vitamin C-rich foods. Never apply vitamin C to the sensitive skin in your genital area.

    Urethra inflammation natural remedy
    BM112 provides effective natural support for the normal function of the urethra. It may help with inflammation of the urethra.

     

    11. Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is another vitamin recommended to treat vaginal issues. It may help decrease inflammation and treat atrophic vaginitis. It is perfect if you want something to reduce vaginal itching and burning.

    You can use vaginal vitamin E suppositories or massage vitamin E oil to your vulva and vagina. You may also eat more foods rich in vitamin E.
