Home remedies for urine infection 

The most effective home remedy for urine infections is cranberry juice and cranberries. Fresh cranberries are best eaten raw to solve this problem. Cranberry juice is also an excellent way to help you with getting rid any infection.


Cranberries contain a certain type of tannin which prevents bacteria from attaching themselves to the wall of the urinary tract, which is where infections begin. Baking soda is another excellent way to kill infections. You can add a pinch of it to your food, or you can have a teaspoon of it mixed with a glass of water. This will help you greatly.

You must drink between 10 to 15 litres of water everyday. This is a good way of flushing out toxins from your system. Have about a litre of yogurt everyday. Yogurt has live bacteria which will help fight the fungus that typically affect your body when you have urinary tract infection. It is also very useful to apply fresh yogurt to your vaginal area at least twice a day. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and wash. Topical application of yogurt will also help in killing infections and will provide relief from the burning sensation. Make it a point to wash the genital area regularly with warm water and soap. Always clean going from front to back, as this is the most effective way to make sure you are completely clean. Have a glass of hot milk with turmeric every night before going to bed. The antiseptic properties of turmeric will help heal the infection from within.
