Is gonorrhea treatable? Certainly. Conventional treatment for gonorrhea involves taking antibiotics for a certain number of days or weeks. However, this method has proven to be detrimental in the long run, because more and more strains of gonorrhea are becoming antibiotic-resistant.

As an alternative treatment, try using these home remedies that are known for their powerful antimicrobial properties:1

Garlic

This popular cooking ingredient may help fight gonorrhea thanks to its compound called allicin. Allicin works with garlic’s other compounds to become a powerful antibacterial agent that can fight antibiotic-resistant strains.

To gain this benefit, simply add garlic to your diet regularly. You can crush several cloves of garlic as well and directly apply it to the site of infection, then rinse afterward.2

Apple Cider Vinegar

Vinegar’s acidic properties can help eliminate bacteria, and apple cider vinegar happens to be one of the best at this. You can add it to your daily diet to help cleanse your organs. You may also add it to your bathwater and soak in it for several minutes, then rinse afterward.

In addition, women may soak vinegar into a tampon and insert it into their vagina for a few minutes to help treat vaginal gonorrhea.

Echinacea

A popular flower native to America, Echinacea holds potent antibacterial properties that may help treat gonorrhea. Simply purchase Echinacea essential oil, dilute it in a carrier oil and apply it to the infected area, then rinse after a few minutes.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is one of the most popular antibacterial solutions around, and is known to help alleviate various infections.

Women can use it to treat their gonorrhea by adding a few drops of diluted tea tree oil on a tampon and then inserting it into their vagina for a few minutes. For men, you can apply the diluted solution directly on the infected areas.

Aloe Vera

The aloe vera species Barbadensis Miller is the only one recommended for gonorrhea treatment, because others may worsen the infection. This is one of the top recommended home remedies for gonorrhea, as it has been proven effective against bacterial infections.

Rosemary

This popular cooking herb contains over 40 antibacterial and 20 antiviral compounds. You can create a rosemary solution by mixing 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary in 1 cup of water, which you must take twice a day.

You may also add fresh rosemary to your diet to receive more of its antibacterial benefits at the same time.3

Yogurt

Live and active cultured yogurt contains healthy bacteria strains that can help fight gonococcal bacteria. Women can coat a tampon with plain homemade yogurt and insert it into their vagina to experience relief from pain and itching. Men may also directly apply it to their infected areas.4

But before you use any of these home remedies, it’s important to consult with your doctor first to check for any adverse effects. If using any of the essential oils, make sure to do a skin patch test first to see if any allergic reactions occur.
