Home treatment for UTI

Mix ½ tsp of baking soda in 8 ounce of water and have it once a day till the infection gets cured.
To flush toxins from the system, it is necessary for you to drink lots of water and other fluids which help in the proper flow of urine.
Cranberry juice prevents bacteria from clinging to the cells of the urinary tract lining.

You can either drink it directly or add some apple juice to it.
Avoid tea, coffee, alcohol, tomatoes, aged cheese, citrus fruits, spicy foods and chocolates.
Aerated drinks and artificial sweeteners might enhance the infection.
Heat your lower abdomen with a heating pad and avoid feminine hygiene sprays.
Wear lose and cotton under wears and night wear. Do not wear tight fitting clothes and at night try to sleep without your panties.
Keep your nails trimmed and never itch your vaginal area. Change your panties as soon as you start feeling itchy and wash the vaginal area with mild antiseptic lotion.
Have 2 capsules of Ethinacea, Oregon Grape Root or Goldenseal thrice daily.
Mix equal amounts of Bergamot, Frankincense, Juniper, Tea Tree and Sandalwood oil and massage with this on your bladder area. Do this for at least 3 to 4 days or till the symptoms last.
