I recently got an e-mail asking, 'What is the best urinary tract
home remedy?' I thought about this question for a bit and responded to
this curious U.T.I. sufferer, "A remedy that is researched!"
Obviously, I gave the guy some tips at which ones he should try first. But I think that many of us do not realize that natural health is also a researched treatment. Believe it or not, many people think that natural remedies have not been researched. This is far from the truth! Natural remedy research is at an all-time high! Many remedies have been found legitimate and others have been found completely bunk.
When looking for a urinary tract home remedy, it is important that you know you are finding research ones! Here are some simple tips to treat your infection from your home... naturally!
5 Tips to Cure Urinary Tract Infection
1. Research has all agreed that urinary tract infections are caused by a bacterial infection (usually E coli) that is infecting the urinary tract. All treatments that cure this type of infection must either kill or flush the infection from the body. Antibiotics take the approach of killing all 'good' and 'bad' bacteria. (This is why antibiotics can cause more harm than good.)
Most natural remedies take the approach of flushing the 'bad' bacteria.
You can do this very easily by flushing your bladder and your body. Tip 1 would be to drink plenty of water throughout the day. A good goal would be half your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 150 lbs, you should drink 75 ounces of water per day.
2. Your diet is also paramount in treating your urinary infection naturally. Typically, high water soluble dietary fiber foods (fruits and vegetables) are great because they flush your body. Here is a great list of foods you should start supplementing today: spinach, potatoes, yams, zucchini, squash, onions, broccoli, eggplant, green beans, avocado, grapes, pears and apples.
3. Echinacea is a great herb to begin supplementing as soon as possible. Echinacea is often referred to as the wonder drug of herbs. It is used to treat everything from the common cold to the flu, and it also fights off urinary tract infections. Research shows that Echinacea will boost your immune system and help the body fight off bacterial infections.
4. Along with Echinacea, it would also be a great idea to begin supplementing vitamin C. This vitamin is very important for a healthy immunity. During an infection, this could be the most important vitamin you supplement.
5. Finally, do NOT eat cranberries or drink cranberry juice till you are red in the face. You may have heard that cranberries have a compound which helps flush urinary tract infections. However, you can also do much harm to your infection by consuming too much acid.
