Guava Leaves Sitz Bath
Another home remedy many people used in the past are guava leaves, which are rich in antibacterial properties. Likewise, the leaves have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, traditional medicine practitioners often use guava leaves to remedy microbial infections.
Boiled guava leaves are effective as a home treatment for fishy odor, and some women use the cooled concoction to wash and disinfect their private parts at least three times a day. But for some women, it is more convenient to have a sitz bath with it. If you choose this option, you can prepare it by boiling one liter of water and adding 30 grams of fresh guava leaves. Infuse the leaves for three to five minutes with the pot covered. Afterward, strain the leaves and transfer the concoction into a big basin. Allow the infusion to cool to a tolerable temperature, and sit on the basin without clothes. Next, cleanse your entire genital area until the infusion cools down. Doing the sitz bath three times a day will remove the fishy odor from vaginal discharge due to bacterial infections caused by trichomoniasis and yeast infections from candidiasis cells. Practitioners say using guava leaves infusion as a vaginal wash is safe and does not cause side effects.
