Dr. Lori Semel answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Vaginosis: Foods like garlic, vinegar, yogurt, grapefruit, pineapple, cumin seeds or tea tree oil are commonly used in bacterial vaginosis cures. Cranberry juice is also a popular remedy.Due to its strong acidic properties consuming pure and fresh cranberry juice daily can keep the bad bacteria away.
