Home Remedies For UTI – Natural Ways to Treat a UTI



Home remedies for UTI are very popular and there are many self help measures you can try right away. My collection of tips are from years of experience of having repeated UTI’s for many years and at the time, it seemed as if each successive one was getting more severe. For many years I took various courses of antibiotics and I was simply not aware that I could have used home remedies for UTI problems.

At first, antibiotics would seem to get rid of the infection, but after a couple of years, I noticed that each time I had antibiotics, I invariably had to go back for an “add on” or for a stronger dose. At one point I was even put on a permanent low dose antibiotic which was great for a few months but then even that didn’t work.

I really was at my wits end. I would have time off work because I couldn’t get out of bed. I can remember spending time doubled up on the floor not knowing what to do for the best. I would spend ages in a warm bath because it was the only place I could feel a little relief. I must have spent hundred, if not thousands of dollars on over the counter UTI remedies but found them to be no use whatsoever for me.

After searching the internet out of sheer desperation, I came some very interesting claims about a product which claimed that it would get rid of uti pain very quickly. Although skeptical, I was pretty desperate and would have tried anything at that point.

The remedy did work for me. The pain had subsided quite a lot before I went to bed that first night and within 24 hours, I was completely pain free. Since then, I have followed the advice and although I have had a couple of minor flare ups, I know exactly what to do to prevent it becoming a problem. The relief I feel is immeasurable.

If you need relief, you can try my own self-help home remedies for UTI pain which will help in the short term. If the pain persists though, or is anything other than mild, I can highly recommend the product which I used to clear my infection.

* Sit in a bath of warm water

* Use a heated pad or hot water bottle on the abdomen

* Drink plenty of water to help flush the infection out

* Drink a couple of glasses of unsweetened cranberry juice each day

* Avoid using perfumed products on or near to the vaginal area

* Eat a pot of live yogurt daily

* Take a mild painkiller

* Avoid wearing tight trousers, pantyhose or synthetic panties

* Avoid having sex whilst the infection persists
