What kind of home remedy would be used to fight an UTI infection?



Urinary tract infection home cures

A urinary tract infection or UTI is an infection that affects the urinary tract. UTIs are always bacterial infections. Urine generally does not have any bacteria in it, and only contains a number of salts, fluids and waste products. In the case of bacterial infection, bacteria enters into the bladder or kidney, where it multiplies rapidly in the urine, causing a urinary infection. Cystilis, which is the most common of all urinary infections affects the bladder, while pyelonephritis affects the kidneys. Pyelonephritis is one of the more serious of the urinary infections. Urinary tract infections cause a great deal of discomfort, but they can be treated fairly easily if detected and addressed promptly.

Urinary tract infections are generally treated with oral antibiotics, but there are also a number of home remedies that can be quite effective and help speed up the healing process. Increasing your consumption of water is extremely important as it hydrates your system and helps to flush out toxins. Drinking unsweetened cranberry juice has also been found to be an effective remedy as it helps keep the lining of the urinary tract free from any bacteria that could otherwise accumulate. Adding a small amount of baking soda to the water you consume can help a lot as it neutralizes the acidity levels in your urine. Tender coconut water is another natural ingredient that is very popular and gives a lot of relief.

UTI infection natural cures

The most effective home remedy to fight urinary tract infections (UTI) is cranberry juice and water. If you can find fresh cranberries, this would be the best possible solution. Otherwise, cranberry juice works just as well. The science behind this is that cranberries contain a certain type of tannin, a substance that prevents bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract wall, the starting point of all UTIs. Drink about 10 to 15 litres of water daily. This is an excellent way of flushing toxins from your system. You will know it is working when, towards the end of the day, you will start passing colorless and odourless urine. Baking soda is also 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, if you can handle it.

You should also increase yogurt intake. Yogurt has live bacteria which will help fight all types of fungus. You can also apply yogurt to your vaginal area at least twice a day and leave it on for a while. Topical application will help in killing the infection as well as provide relief from the burning sensation that accompanies most forms of UTI.
