5 Effective Urinary Tract Infection Home Remedies

Here are 3 simple yet effective home remedies for urinary tract infections.

Baking Soda

 If you suspect having UTI, the first time you should do is to drink water mix with baking soda. By mixing baking soda into water and drinking it, you are increasing the ph of the water, hence making it less acidic. This allows the body to flush out the urine with less efforts. Thus removing the breeding ground for the bladder and kidney bacteria.

Mix half a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water, 7 ounce.

 

Drinking more water

This is probably the most simple urinary tract infection home remedies known to mankind. By consuming a lot more water, you are increasing the rate your bladder is filled and increase your urge to urinate. By emptying your bladder, there will be no place for the bacteria to multiply.

 

Blueberry and Cranberry Juice

Medical researches have discovered that both blueberry juices and cranberry juices have bacteria inhibiting functions. These juices cure UTI by removing those harmful bacteria from clinging and multiplying in the urinary tract.

Ensure that you are buying natural blueberry and unsweetened cranberry juice in the supermarket. Artificial favours do not have the bacteria fighting agents found in natural juices.

 

Control Your Diet

 Your daily diet plays an important part in your overall health. And when you are down with UTI, avoid caffeine drinks such as colas, coffee and tea. Caffeine irritated the bladder, which is the last thing you want when you are looking for a solution to cure your uti.

Cut down on alcoholic drinks at the same time. Alcohol is as bad as caffeine is to the bladder. Skip it if you want to have a healthy bladder.

 

Go Cotton

Wear cotton underwear. Cotton keeps the moisture away from your genital area. Under a dry environment, bacteria has a harder time to multiply themselves.

Follow the above 5 natural urinary tract infection treatment methods and you can be sure that most of the time, your UTI will go away in a couple of days. However, if UTI symptoms still persist, seek medical attention.
