Ayurvedic solutions for urinary infection

[Guest guest]

My mother suffers periodically from urinary infections whose only symptom is an

urge to urinate every few minutes. There is no pain. Tests including culture

report and sonogram have not shown anything too severe. Her kidneys are in good

shape and while there is an e-coli infection, it is not severe enough to even

merit being called urinary infection. Is there anything in ayurveda that can

help her find a lasting cure and relief. She is an elderly lady and her

condition is aggravating. I would be deeply grateful for a response.

try a decoction of Agnimantha root and/or Gokshura fruit, 1 part herb to 20

parts

water, boiled for 20-30 minutes. Dose is about a half a cup, 2-3 x day. You

might

also have her take purified Shilajitu as well, to strengthen the UT, as well as

vitamins

A, C and E.

 

other helpful herbs include Bearberry, Pipsissewa, Buchu, Cranberrry

 

looks for potential food intolerances as a cause of frequency and incontinence

also, toileting and hygiene (i.e. wiping back to front can cause infection)
