UTI natural remedies 

The most effective two-pronged home remedy for urinary tract infections (UTI) is cranberry juice and water. If you can find fresh cranberries, it is best; otherwise juice also works as well. Cranberries contain a certain type of tannin, a substance that prevents bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract wall, the starting point of infections.


Baking soda is an excellent way to kill infections of all kinds. Add a pinch to your food, or have a teaspoon of it mixed with a glass of water. Although this is not very tasteful, it will help you greatly.


Drink between 10 to 15 litres of water everyday. This is a good way of flushing out toxins from your system. You will know it is working when, towards the end of the day, you will start passing out urine that is colorless and odorless.

Increase yogurt intake. Yogurt has live bacteria which will help fight all kinds of fungus. Alternatively, you can also apply it to your vaginal area at least twice a day, leave it on for about 10 minutes and wash. This kind of topical application will help in killing infections as well as provide relief from the burning sensation. Wash the genital area regularly with warm water and soap.
