    Default non-prescription cures for BV?

    (yes, I searched through the many BV threads already on here, but most were about medication-type treatment, so...)

    anyone know of any natural or OTC remedies for BV? I've got it, and I literally cannot afford a clinic visit or prescription medication for this right now. Any other ways to get rid of it?

    I remember another thread where someone mentioned an iodine douche (?) but I have no idea what that is or where to get it.

    I'm pretty sure that Planned Parenthood will give you dirt cheap or free treatments if you're in need.

    I recall someone posting that you can soak a tampon in tea tree oil and then insert it. You'll have to soak it while it's in the applicator, I would think. You may want to look up information on this, because I don't recall the specifics.

    Also, PP will give you free treatments if you're in need. (at least in CA, but I don't think you're here.)

    I thought the tea-tree/tampon thing was for yeast infections? But hey, I'll try anything. Including PP...I didn't know they did that, but I guess it makes sense.

    I'm pretty sure you can't soak a tampon in straight tea tree oil and stick it up there. Straight TT oil will sting your skin all to hell.

    I've heard about douching with hydrogen peroxide, I don't how factual it's results are though. I've also heard about taking garlic by mouth.

    Stick a clove of garlic up your twat. It's a great antibiotic. works for all kinds of vag issues.

    I believe in the garlic up the twat thread it was stated that garlic does not work for BV.

    Boric acid up the hooha. It's cheap, in the fist aid section. Put it in a gelcap and insert one every few hours. You can empty out unneeded meds from gelcaps if you dont have empty ones handy.
