The problem of vaginal odor is quite common in women and is certainly a very embarrassing situation for them. Though there are various treatments available for curing it, women often feel shy about discussing it openly even with doctors. Also, there is always a fear of plausible side effects after using various products. In such cases, it is best to employ some effective home remedies that can be really helpful in combating the irksome vaginal odor. Being natural, they do not even cause any side effects....

1. Make a natural douche with vinegar, live yogurt and some warm water. Place this solution in plastic syringe, meat blaster or douche bag. Lie down on back over your towel and gently apply the natural douche.

2. Make garlic tampons by dipping the peeled garlic cloves in olive oil (fresh). Refrigerate it for a while and wrap in thin cotton, cheese cloth or gauze and tie the ends. Use it like your tampon replacing the cloves every 4-5 hours.

3. Have a soothing cool bath for relieving the irritation, burning sensations and itching of the vaginal area. Add some honey (1- 2 teaspoons) to the bathing water. As honey has antifungal and antibacterial properties, it is very effective in healing the yeast infection and thus the vaginal odor.

4. Tea Tree oil is also very beneficial in curing vaginal odor. Using the tea tree oil in the warm bathing water can do wonders in eliminating the foul smell due to the yeast infection.

It is always better to take precautions so that you do not develop any foul vaginal odor and yeast infections. You can prevent it by avoiding tight fits, perfumed vagina sprays, non organic soaps and wearing cotton panties instead of other fabrics like satin most of the time.
