BV certainly is the most common cause of fishy vaginal odor, but not the only one. She should be professional examined to confirm the diagnosis and exclude other causes and contributors. Among other things, other STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia can trigger BV, and trichomonas (itself an STI) causes the identical odor. No effective holistic management is known, including the things you mention.
