Bacterial vaginosis is medically defined as: "a chronic inflammation of the vagina caused by a bacterium, Gardnerella vaginalis. [Greek, bacterion meaning "small staff; Latin, vagina, meaning "sheath," and Greek, Osis, meaning "condition] SOURCE: Mosby's Medical Dictionary, Fifth Edition (1998), pg. 164
Bacterial vaginosis is basically chronic "vaginitis" that is accompanied by a very foul smelling discharge.
Okay, let's break matters down. What is "vaginitis?"
Vaginitis: "an inflammation of the vaginal tissues, such as trichomonas vaginitis. SOURCE: Mosby's Medical Dictionary, Third Edition (1990), pg. 1221
And, what is inflammation? Inflammation is basically a burning sensation that results from acute acidosis. Inflammation's cardinal signs are redness (rubor), heat (calor), swelling (tumor), and pain (dolor), accompanied by loss of function. Mosby's supra.
Basically, the vagina is inflamed (on fire) due to excess acid (acidosis). The vagina has become too acidic.
When the tissues become inflamed due to acidosis, the Body's innate healing mechanism produces mucus to protect the internal skin (mucous membranes), but in most cases due to the severity of the inflammation (acidosis), the body produces too much mucus and so the excess mucus becomes a problem. In order to get rid of some of this mucus, the vagina begins discharging it, hence the vaginal discharge.
Okay, now let's go back to bacterial vaginosis. Vaginosis is basically a condition of vaginitis which we have already broken down for your understanding.
The word "bacterial" pertains to the word "bacteria," and what is bacteria?
Bacteria: "Any of the small unicellular microorganisms of the class Schizomycetes." Mosby's supra.
There are good bacteria and bad bacteria that exist in the body. In a state of optimal health (homeostasis), there's balance between the two different forms of bacteria. However, when the ecology is changed by a third party (usually toxicity, acidity, or anaerobia) the balance is broken.
So with bacterial vaginosis, the vaginal ecology is upset (due to acidity, toxicity, and anaerobia). The negative bacteria begins to flourish and consequently outnumbers the good bacteria. This leads to imbalance which equates to DIS-EASE!
The negative bacteria begins to flourish more and more as the ecology of the vagina becomes more acidic, and the more acidic the vagina becomes, the more inflamed the vagina becomes and thus the more mucus is produced which eventually leads to vaginal discharge.
The stench is a combination of toxicity, old vagina debris, bacterium, and possibly fecal matter (as the colon sits above the female reproductive chamber and vagina). The fouler the stench, the more the message conveyed by the vagina that the vagina is greatly acidic and toxic.
So in a nutshell, this is what bacterial vaginosis is.
HEALING FOR BACATERIAL VAGINOSIS
Bacterial vaginosis like all other disease originate on the energetic level. The metaphysical causative factor of bacterial vaginosis is imbalance of the Goddess nature, woman-ness, femininity, and gynicism.
Emotionally speaking, vaginal problems are linked to a woman's sexual life and most vaginal disorders impede sexual activity. Vaginal disorders convey the message that a woman's body is telling her that her sexual belief system needs to be revised.
Physical vaginal discharge usually means that old, toxic (negative) emotions and thoughts need to be discharged from the mind and heart. It's time to let go of that which no longer serves you.
Most women who were victimized sexually at some point in their life usually harbor negative feelings and emotions about the abuse and after a while, the body becomes physically affected by the constant negative feelings and emotions and always manifests the disease in the female reproductive system in general, the Goddess chamber in particular.
Sexual disorders usually inhibit sexual activity, compelling sexual abstinence, and this abstinence is the body's way of telling you to use this healing time to reflect on your sexual belief system as a woman for purposes of reinventing it, for purposes of sexual freedom (of mind).
The Scorpio female may experience more vaginal complaints than any other sign due to the astrological fact that Scorpio governs the genitalia, and thus Scorpion women are more prone to diseases of the genitalia.
Now clearly poor diet plays a role in disease, and in female reproductive diseases, the culprits are usually the same dairy products (cheese, ice cream, sour cream, butter, and yogurt); animal flesh/meat (pork, chicken, turkey, fish, lamb, beef, and seafood); refined grains (pastries donuts, cookies, cakes; bagels, bread, crackers, etc.); refined starches (potato chips, French fries, etc.) in addition to sugar, salt, chemical preservatives, and a host of other harmful products.
A sufferer of bacterial vaginosis should fast for a day or two, followed by modifying the diet (raw foods provisionally and then after relief or healing, subsequently strict vegan). Vegetable juice should be consumed daily and should contain parsley, cilantro, garlic, and ginger in addition to other green veggies. The less cooked foods the better!
Drink plenty of water and make sure to add liquid oxygen drops and/or liquid chlorophyll.
Do not wear tight clothing! Tight clothing, especially tight pants, chokes the vagina and prevents it from breathing. The vagina is a breathing orifice by nature and needs oxygen. Lack of oxygen causes anaerobia.
Bathe daily in hot water, seas salt (1-2 boxes), essential oils of Tea Tree, Ravensare, Manuka, Leleshwa, Thyme, and Cedar wood. Thyme and Cedar wood greatly counteract itching. These oils are contained in Dherbs Vaginoil formula that you can drop into your bath or douche water (if you believe in douching to expedite relief of the acute itching).
I don't recommend douching as douching upsets the natural pH balance of the vagina. The vagina is an intelligent orifice and automatically cleanses itself. However, many women tell me the itching is unbearable and choose to douche for relief and I can understand this decision. However, if you choose to douche, the solution should be all herbal and consisting of the following herbs: Red Raspberry Leaf, Thyme, Goldenseal, Echinacea, White Oak Bark, Buchu, Black Walnut Hulls, and Mullein leaf.
In addition to the foregoing herbs, a woman could also use 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide (half an ounce), liquid oxygen drops, liquid chlorophyll, and/or extracts of Neem and/or Calophyllum Inophyllum (3-5 drops each) in her douche solution.
Many women tell me the itching associated with bacterial vaginosis is excruciating and unbearable. Medical doctors prescribe Borax (a/k/a boracic acid, borate, boric acid), for purposes of alleviating the itch. Putting Borax in the vagina? That's a little too extreme for me personally, but then again, I'm not the one with the unbearable itch. However, consider the following:
Borate. Any salt of boric acid. Borate salts and boric acid, although formerly used as mild antiseptic irrigant solutions, especially for ophthalmic conditions, are highly poisonous when taken internally or absorbed through a cut, abrasion, or other wound in the skin. Because of the potential for fatal poisoning, such solutions are rarely used now. SOURCE: Mosby's, 3rd ed. Supra.
Is not putting Borax in the vagina considered taking it internally? I would think so!
Pellets (to be inserted into the vagina over night) made of shea butter, essential oils of tea tree, cedar wood, and thyme; and extracts of neem and Calophyllum inophyllum would be a better, safer, and saner choice than rat poison.
To make vaginal pellets, simply melt the shea butter (or cocoa butter or coconut oil) in a pan on the stove and add the oils (and/or the herbs supra in powder form) and stir to a consistency. Allow the butter to cool down and harden. Next, make into pellets by rolling the butter in the palms of the hands. Place the pellets in the refrigerator so they can harden. Take the pellets out of the refrigerator about an hour before bedtime. Insert one pellet into the vagina.
A crystal elixir made of Zincite is also very helpful in healing from bacterial vaginosis.
I would highly recommend any woman suffering from bacterial vaginosis to perform the Dherbs.Com Full Body Detox followed by the Total Woman Cleanse. These regimens should be followed up with the following Dherbs.Com herbal formulations for purposes of daily maintenance: Yoni Formula (3 capsules), Moon Cycle Formula (3 capsules), Female Hormonal Formula (3 capsules), and Bowel Mover Formula (2-3 capsules).
The single most important Dherbs.Com formula to take after a bout of bacterial vaginosis is the Yoni Formula as this formula was designed to address all vaginal disorders and conditions including bacterial vaginosis.
There is no sound, wholistic, and permanent healing absent healing of the mind - changing the negative and destructive thought patterns that creates disease in the flesh. As such, we highly recommend that you order and READ our "Mental Science Manual" e-book.
For healing on the emotional level as well as the inner self level, please order and READ our "Love Manual" e-book.
To learn how to eat better, especially a vegan (vegetarian) and/or more raw foods diet, we recommend that you order and READ our "Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual" e-book and/or visit our site's "Dietary Choices" section.
There is most definitely safe and sane healing for bacterial vaginosis.
