Natural Cures
Here is a look at 7 natural cures for gradual or instant relief in leucorrhea. They use ingredients either already available in your kitchen or convenient to buy.
1. Fenugreek seeds
Fenugreek is well-known as a cure for digestive and stomach issues but lesser known are its healing effects on urinary problems.
It is an effective remedy for leucorrhea mainly because it contains zinc. In addition to the relief it provides from irritation, pain, and swelling, fenugreek has a soothing effect on the mucous membranes and skin.
Boil three teaspoons of fenugreek seeds in about one liter of water for 30 minutes. Strain the concoction and allow it to cool.
Finally, drink. You can also use it as a vaginal wash for 3 to 4 times a day.
2. Coriander seeds
Leave 5 to 10 grams of coriander seeds soaked in a glass of water overnight. Strain the water. In the morning, drink it on an empty stomach. Do so for 7 to 10 days.
3. Apple cider vinegar
The bad smell associated with leucorrhea results from increased acidity. Apple cider vinegar assists with restoring the body’s natural pH and also decreasing any acidity existing in the vaginal flora.
It is also a beneficial remedy for a number of other female problems.
Mix a glass of apple cider vinegar with water and use it as a vaginal wash a minimum of two times a day.
If the vinegar is unfiltered and raw, mix it with distilled water to prepare the vaginal wash.
For internal intake, mix one part of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water. Drink daily to end the problem.
4. Amaranth root
Amaranthus or amaranth is a herb having antibacterial properties. The amaranth seeds possess compounds with healing properties for the reproductive organs.
The fresh leaves may be dropped into boiling water and utilized to alleviate leucorrhea symptoms.
You can take some healthy amaranth roots, grind and mix with water. Consume this solution twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
5. Rice and water
