Home Uti Remedies

Home UTI remedies can be used very successfully in the treatment of this painful condition

. Very often, women turn to using home remedies after becoming dissatisfied with the endless rounds of antibiotics which seem to do little more than give symptomatic relief.

In fact, antibiotics do more than just that. The job of antibiotics is to kill off bacteria and they often do this very well. Unfortunately, they cannot distinguish between the harmful strains and beneficial strains of bacteria (both of which are naturally present in the urinary tract) and the result is that both strains are eliminated. This means that the body loses the naturally protective characteristics of the beneficial bacteria meaning that as soon as the bad bacteria is reintroduced, the good strains are not sufficiently strong to have a protective effect and this is why subsequent outbreaks of a UTI seem to get worse.

Home UTI remedies are more focused on boosting up the levels of good bacteria, to enable it to do its job properly, thus avoiding the need for antibiotics. In addition, there are also measures to help eliminate and isolate bad bacteria and also for symptomatic relief.

Try the following home UTI remedies:-

* Drink a couple of glasses of unsweetened cranberry juice daily

* Drink at least 2 liters of water daily

* Boost your intake of antioxidants by eating a wide rage of fresh fruits and vegetables. The darker varieties have a particularly beneficial effect on the urinary tract, such as blueberries, blackberries and beetroot

* Use heat therapy on the abdomen

* Urinate whenever you feel the need to (even if painful)

* Wear cotton panties

* Avoid tight fitting trousers

If the infection has lasted for more than a couple of days, it is wise to take robust action as if left untreated, this infection can develop into a kidney infection which, in severe cases, can lead to kidney damage.
