Alternative treatment for Urinary Tract infection 

A Urinary Tract infection is a fairly common occurrence and can be caused by a variety of reasons. This can be cured by some simple home remedies. But if your infection is bad and you can spot blood or pus in your urine or if you have a very high temperature then you should consult your doctor as soon as possible.




The best thing to get rid of a urinary tract infection is to drink lots of fluids. Water is the best choice but it is believed that drinking cranberry juice is an effective remedy when you are suffering from this medical condition.  You can also try using a heating pad against your lower back.


If you experience a burning sensation when passing urine, then you should use towels dipped in cold water on your lower abdomen.  

Another easy remedy that you can try is mixing half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Drink this.
Avoid eating spicy and oily food. You should also ensure that your diet does not include food stuff that can irritate the bladder. Chief among these are tomatoes, chocolates, cheese, alcohol and even nicotine.  You should also stay off sugary food and drink. Your clothes should be cool and comfortable. Avoid wearing tight underclothes and stick to wearing loose clothes made of natural fiber.
