Natural Remedies & Treatments for UTIs

I.                   Drinking Plenty of Pure Water

It helps to flush the harmful bacteria out. Not drinking enough water - an essential, vital nutrient - can increase the risk of urinary tract infections. Dark-yellow urine and/or infrequent urination are some of the symptoms of dehydration. Adult women should consume around six to eight (6-8) cups of fluids or beverages each day.

II.                Taking Vitamin C

Eating fruits and vegetables loaded with vitamin C helps to acidify urine and, therefore, eliminate pathogenic bacteria from the urinary tract. Also, taking vitamin c supplement can be of great help here.

III.             Eating Yogurt

Yogurt contains naturally occurring probiotics which are very important in keeping bad bacteria away from the urinary tract.

IV.             Sipping Cranberry Juice

Cranberries have a combination of acidic substances, among others, which prevent the fimbria (hair-like bacteria) from clinging onto the bladder and urethral lining.

V.                Using Baking Soda

Drinking a glass of water mixed with half of a teaspoon of baking soda has been found helpful in reducing the burning sensation while urinating.

VI.             Applying Heating Pads

Burning and pain can be reduced by applying a heating pad over the pubic area. Be cautious to avoid skin burns.

VII.            Using Natural Antibiotics

Thousands of bladder infection sufferers around the world have proven the efficacy of the natural approach to this painful and debilitating problem. Also, they are a living example of preventing, remedying and overcoming urinary tract infections without multiple rounds of prescription medications.
