Important! Always consult your doctor before trying these or any home remedies. "Natural" does not mean it is safe for everybody.

Urinary tract infections are more common in women than in men because the urethra is shorter in women. The symptoms of a urinary tract infection are burning during urination, frequency, murky color of urine, and a full bladder feeling.

Home Remedies for UTI

Baking soda: At the sign of the first symptoms prepare this drink. In 125 ml of water, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Take two glasses of plain water and then drink the glass of water with the baking soda.

Drink plenty of water: The more water you drink, the more bacteria you eliminate in the urine. In addition, the urine will be less irritating because it will be more diluted.

Cranberry juice: Taking cranberry juice prevents bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls, making it easier to eliminate them in the urine.

Watermelon to help treat urinary tract infections: Watermelon alleviates urinary tract problems, and cleans and refreshes the kidneys.

Coconut water for treating bladder infections naturally: To remove kidney impurities, sip a cup of coconut water before breakfast.

Garlic tea: Peel and crush two garlic cloves. Put them in a cup of warm water. Let stand for five minutes and drink. Garlic kills bacteria.

Boldo leaf tea: You can buy boldo tea in regular stores. I found mine at Vallarta Supermarkets (in Southern California).

Nettle tea to eliminate bacteria that causes urinary tract infections: Put a teaspoon of dried nettle leaves in a cup of water and boil for 5 minutes. Strain and drink. Nettle is a diuretic which will help to eliminate more urine and bacteria.

Eat asparagus: Asparagus is prescribed as a purifier of the urinary tract and helps cure cystitis.

Onion bouillon: Cut the onion in four parts, put them in half a liter of water in a stainless steel pot and let boil for about 20 minutes. Remove and let stand for 8 hours. Strain and drink.

Infusion of mauve and llanten: Boil 3 mauve leaves, 1 llanten leaf, and a handful of white flower in 2 liters of water for 10 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Take a cup of this infusion and wash the vaginal area with the rest of the infusion.

Celery smoothie to fight bladder infection: In three liters of water, blend two stalks of celery with the leaves, two thick slices of pineapple, and a cup of chamomile tea.
