Balance with Boric Acid:
“A healthy vagina has a pH of approximately 4, thanks to lactic acid production by the normal vaginal flora. The naturally acidic vaginal pH reduces the growth of many pathogens, including some of those commonly associated with sexually transmitted diseases.
When the pH is disrupted by an infection or other vaginal health condition such as bacterial vaginosis, that can contribute to an overgrowth of unhealthy organisms. That's when boric acid suppositories may be able to help.”

Protect with Lactic Acid:
Women are at greater risk of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and, in turn, problems with their reproductive health if their vagina doesn't have high amounts of lactic acid, according to a recent review published in the journal Research in Microbiology.
A healthy vagina needs to have certain types of the bacteria lactobacillus, which produce high levels of lactic acid. The study found this lactobacillus make the vagina acidic, which is important in helping to prevent a condition known as bacterial vaginosis (BV).
Need more bacteria lactobacillus go for yogurt and/or probiotics
