Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 For bladder infections, cranberry juice will do the trick. You'll need to drink a lot of it though - and it needs to be unsweetened and not from concentrate, i.e. the expensive stuff. The more severe the symptoms, the more you'll have to drink. I typically buy 3-4 of the 32oz bottles for a later stage infection. If you catch it early, you might only have to drink one or two over the course of a few days to get rid of the infection. It's not very tasty (at least I don't think it is). Mixing some stevia in will cut down on the bitterness. Keep drinking some of the juice for a couple of days or so even after you get relief, otherwise the bacteria could start to multiply again. For women, an easy way to avoid getting these kinds of infections is to always urinate soon after sex. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 How are you distinguishing a bacterial from a urinary tract infection? A UTI is a bacterial infection, perhaps you mean the bacteria are prolific in a different area of your body? First thing is to increase your fluid intake. Also, completely abstain from acid producing foods, namely anything white as in sugar or wheat. Buy cranberry juice, not safeway brand (as in with sugar), but more like knudsen or another good quality brand that does not dilute too severely (santa cruz brand is not good however nice their packaging may appear). Drink liberally. Most herbs work through diuresis, cranberry however will actually reduce the proliferation in the bladder. Blueberry is also helpful, so you can alternate if it doesn't resolve quickly. If you are constipated as well, which is oft the case, then get moving as it were, all residual toxicity in the area will contribute. Lastly, get sweaty exercise, this helps tremendously. If you google uti herb, you will find many a website that lists herbs that are thought to be supportive, but again cranberry should be your first and most diligent choice to resolve the symptoms thoroughly.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Try Pu-Erh Tea, a fermented black tea from Western China, it's antibacterial, dissolves metals, fats and grease. Stephen Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
