Kidney infection need home remedies.

Kidney infections are caused by bacteria that enter the body through the opening of the urethra, and attack the bladder first, gradually moving up the tract and sometimes even infesting and multiplying in the kidneys. This happens especially when the body's natural immunity is already weak and the individual has problems like diabetes and kidney stones in urine. The most common symptoms of kidney infections are burning sensation during urination, frequent urge to urinate, passage of blood in urine, stomach upsets, nausea and vomiting, chills and fevers. In extreme cases, kidney infections may even lead to renal failure.

It is necessary that you get your urine tested at a laboratory and thereafter consult a doctor to determine the right course of medication to treat this condition. However, there are several home remedies that you may follow simultaneously for faster recovery. You must increase your daily intake of water, as this leads to more frequent urination and naturally cleanses the kidneys. If you find it difficult to digest solid foods, switch to a liquid diet constituted by fresh homemade fruit juices and vegetable soups for a couple of days. This will keep up the supply of essential minerals and vitamins to the body, while relieving the digestive and the excretory systems and cleansing away infectious germs from the body. Drink a glass of undiluted cranberry juice an hour before every meal. This is an excellent natural means of raising the level of acidity of the urine and thereby destroying the infection causing bacteria present in the kidneys and the urinary tract. Consuming a cup of grape seed extract every day is also recommended, as the strong antibacterial property of this herb destroys germs and cures the infection. Eating a small bowl of crushed juniper berries is another effective remedy for kidney infections, as they have blood purifying properties. Parsley leaves have natural diuretic properties so eating them raw is highly beneficial in treating kidney infections. If you feel pain or a tight sensation in your lower abdomen, apply a heating pad on your stomach to get temporary relief from the discomfort. You should also consume lots of citrus fruits, as they are rich natural sources of vitamin C that helps prevent the recurrence of the infection. You should also avoid taking bubble baths, as this weakens the thin mucus membrane that protects the urethral aperture and makes the urinary tract vulnerable to infections from germs.

Kidney infection remedies

A kidney infection is a serious problem, and it requires a dedicated medical care plan. There are some basic remedies that will help clean and detoxify your kidneys. This should take care of more than half the problem. However, if the infection is severe and deep-rooted, it may lay dormant for a while and reappear again. You can start with fasting for day, consuming only the juices of cranberry and white radish. Both these edibles are considered to be magical in repair and treatment of kidneys. Drink as much water as you want. A test to determine that you have consumed adequate water is that by the end of the day, your urine must be clear and should have no smell. This indicates a clean functioning set of kidneys. Drinking water in excess will also help flush out toxins from your body. A word of caution: you may get headaches due to shortage of your usual quota of food initially. But bear with them, as they will pass. On the second day, you can be on a diet of fresh fruit and vegetable juice. Remember to avoid the variety that comes out of a can as this will not help your situation. The vegetables and fruits you can generously help yourself to are celery, apples, papayas, asparagus, melons and all citrus fruits. In order to fight infection, you can start with consuming a glass of hot milk with a teaspoon of turmeric powder mixed in.
