15 Remedies For A Smelly Vagina... by Nobody: 10:10am On Mar 18, 2017
Have you recently experienced a foul smelling
discharge from your vagina? If yes, it may
mean that there is an overgrowth of yeast or
bacteria giving birth to your vaginal odor.
Medically known as Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
and Vaginal Yeast Infections, vaginal odor can
be sometimes embarrassing though it should
not be. According to the American College of
Obstetrics and Gynecology, feminine odor
changes throughout the normal monthly
menstrual cycle of a woman. Just as your feet
or breath has a smell, vagina too has a smell
due to the presence of bacteria here. However,
this may get unusual and you may get
metallic or musty smell or even a fishy smell
from vagina which can be due to foods you
eat or certain hormonal causes along with the
overgrowth of bacteria as well as sexually
transmitted diseases for which you should get
treatment. Accompanied by yellow or white
discharge, itching, burning and irritation,
vaginal odor may indicate vaginal infection. If
your vaginal odor, however, doesn’t indicate
anything serious, you may apply some home
remedies for vaginal odor to get rid of this foul
smell.
Home Remedies for Vaginal
Odor
1. Fenugreek Remedies for Vaginal
Odor
Fenugreek is a wonderful herb that cures many
conditions including vaginal odor. Fenugreek
is especially beneficial for women’s health as
it promotes hormonal balance as well as
regular menstrual cycle if consumed on a
regular basis. Some herbalists even claim that
the properties of fenugreek are almost similar
to those of female sex hormone, estrogen.
These are some of the ways you can use
fenugreek to reduce your vaginal odor.
Ways to Use Fenugreek for Vaginal
Odor
Drink Fenugreek Soaked Water
Get this:
Fenugreek seeds- 1-2 tsp
Water- 1 glass
Do this:
Take fenugreek seeds and soak in water
overnight.
In the morning, strain the water and drink it
on an empty stomach.
Do this daily for about 2 weeks.
Make Fenugreek tea
Get this:
Fenugreek seeds- 1 tbsp
Water- 1 cup
Do this:
Crush the fenugreek seeds, preferably with
the help of mortar and pestle. Use any other
way to crush them if you don’t have mortar
and pestle.
Boil the water in a pan and put off the
flame.
Add crushed fenugreek seeds to the hot
water and cover.
Let it steep for about 10-15 minutes. You
may steep fenugreek for upto 3 hours.
Drink this hot (or cold, if you’ve steeped for
longer) fenugreek tea.
Wash Vagina with Fenugreek Water
Get this:
Fenugreek seeds- 2-3 tsp
Water- 1 liter
Do this:
Add fenugreek seeds to water.
Boil this water on medium flame for about
half an hour.
Let the water cool down.
Wash your vagina with this water.
Do this 3-4 times a day.
Take Precaution: Fenugreek may induce
gastrointestinal discomforts like diarrhea or
bloating, allergic reactions, and nausea. Also
topical application may lead to skin rashes or
irritation. So check your tolerance before
applying these fenugreek remedies for vaginal
odor. Avoid using this if you are pregnant as
it may induce premature labor. If you are
Hypogycemic, avoid having fenugreek as it
reduces blood sugar level.
2. Yogurt- the Natural Remedy for
Vaginal Odor
With all its health benefits, yogurt can also
help you get rid of vaginal odor. Yogurt is
naturally rich in lactobacillus, the healthy
bacteria which not only keeps your stomach
free of any infection but also reduce the yeast
infection of your vagina . Lactobacillus also
helps in restoring normal vaginal pH level
which kills your vaginal odor. So eat
unsweetened plain yogurt everyday, as much
as two cups a day. You may also use yogurt
in other ways to get rid of your vaginal odor.
Ways to use Yogurt for Vaginal Odor
Consume Yogurt Daily
This is the best way to use yogurt not only for
vaginal odor elimination but also for your
overall health. Just take care to have organic,
unflavored, unsweetened yogurt. Sweetened
yogurt can actually increase your problems by
promoting yeast infection. It’s better to have
plain yogurt. If you are buying probiotic
yogurt, check if it contains lactobacillus or not because this is the healthy bacteria in yogurt
which will get you rid of your vaginal odor.
Have at least 2 cups of yogurt everyday.
Apply Yogurt to Vagina
Get this:
Yogurt- ¼ – ½ cup
Cotton pad
Do this:Take the yogurt in a cup or bowl.
Dip the cotton pad in the yogurt and let it
soak well.
Now take the cotton pad out of the yogurt.
Apply this yogurt to your vagina by rubbing
with gentle hand.
Let it be there for sometime, wash off with
water and pat dry.
Repeat this for three to four times a day.
Alternatively, you may soak a tampon in plain
yogurt and insert in your vagina. Leave it
there for sometime before removing. Now
wash off with plain water.
Take Precaution: If you are allergic to dairy
products, avoid having or using yogurt for
vaginal odor.
3. Garlic Remedies for Vaginal Odor
Garlic is a known natural anti-bacterial herb.
Having garlic can get you rid of bad bacteria
that cause vaginal odor. The strong antifungal
properties of garlic also help eliminate the
plethora of fungus causing yeast infection and
giving rise to mild vaginal odor.
Ways to Use Garlic for Vaginal Odor
1. Eat 1-2 raw garlic cloves with one glass of
warm water in the morning on an empty
stomach.
2. Insert one clove of peeled garlic into your
vagina and leave for a couple of hours.
Wash or take bath after removing the garlic
clove. Do this once or twice a week to get
rid of vaginal odor.
3. Include garlic in your dishes like salads and
dips.
4. Crush some garlic cloves to make paste.
Apply this garlic paste to your vagina and
leave for about 10 minutes. Wash or have
bath after this.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar to Treat
Vaginal Odor
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is one ingredient
which has been studied widely for its health
benefits. Many studies have found apple cider
vinegar useful in treating vaginal infections
too. ACV has fine anti-fungal and anti-
microbial properties that are responsible for
its curative nature. Also apple cider vinegar
balances pH levels in an effective way and
that’s one reason why you can use apple cider
vinegar to get rid of your vaginal odor.
How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar for Vaginal
Odor

Apple cider vinegar- 3 cups
Warm water- enough for a shallow bath

If you badly suffer from vaginal odor, you
may apply this remedy 4-5 times a week
otherwise do it just once or twice a week.
Other Ways to Use Apple Cider
Vinegar for Vaginal Odor
If you do not want to use ACV this way, you
may use it in some other ways mentioned
here.
1. Dilute some apple cider vinegar with water
and rinse your vagina with this diluted
solution.
2. Soak a tampon in diluted solution of apple
cider vinegar and insert this into your
vagina to keep it there for 30-60 minutes.

and drink this daily to balance pH level of
your body. This prevents overgrowth of
bacteria in your body including vagina.
5. Tea Tree Oil to Get Rid of Vaginal
Odor
Tea tree oil is a known natural antiseptic. It
gets you rid of germs and bacteria very fast.
However, never use undiluted tea tree oil
directly on skin as this may lead to irritation
and burning sensation. Just a few drops of
this strong antiseptic and antibacterial oil
mixed with some water is enough to cure your
vaginal odor.

times a day.

and soak a tampon. Insert this tampon into
your vagina and leave for about 5 minutes
before taking it out. Do this an hour before
you take bath. Repeat this daily for a week
or so.
6. Baking Soda Remedies for Vaginal
Odor
One of the causes of vaginal odor is
imbalanced pH level of your body. Baking
soda can instantly level your pH level. So,

vagina is emitting foul smell, drink a gl glass of
water mixed with some baking soda. You may
actually like to use baking soda to wash your
vaginal area regularly to keep its pH levels
balanced.

Odor

efficiency in detoxifying body. As cranberry
juice is acidic in nature, it helps keep bacteria
count low in your body. This is also why

Just a glass of unsweetened and undiluted
cranberry juice may help flush toxins from
your body as well as keep vaginal odor at bay!

level results into an overgrowth of anaerobic

lactobacillus stay in your vagina to keep its
acidity in check. However, certain substances
like menstrual blood or semen etc. affect the
acidity of vagina and make it more alkaline.
The pH level of vagina gets affected negatively
and the increased alkalinity contribute to the
growth of bacteria leading to bacterial
vaginosis. Boric acid, which is mildly acidic
and antiseptic can help in restoring the correct
acidic level in your vagina.

this, again start using the capsule once or
twice a week.
Warning: Ensure you never swallow the gelatin
capsules with boric acid. Put a clear label on
the bottle in which you store boric acid
capsules and keep it out of reach of children.
If you are pregnant, never use boric acid
capsules in your vagina too.
