For me, when my UTI symptoms are at there worst, I find that a long, hot bath helps relieve the pain (NO bubbles, bath oils, or anything in the water- just straight clean water)
D-mannose can be purchased at iHerb.com or most health food stores. It is a natural remedy that works in the same mannner as cranberry juice, only faster. It has always cleared up any UTI that my brother has had. He takes one tsp. mixed in juice or water every 3-4 hours until symptoms improve. He has an indwelling foley catheter so UTI's are a common problem for him.
Most women eat yogurt to cure yeast infections, but the bacteria is also good for relieving/curing UTI. L. acidophilis is the bacteria you should look for in your yogurt; it eats the bad kind.
Alka-seltzer! Alka-seltzer and a hot bath followed by lots of fluids (cranberry juice).
Dissolve two tablets of alka-seltzer in water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alkaseltzer begins eliminating UTI almost instantly!!
When I was younger I had a major problem with kidney and bladder infections that the doctor's just kept treating with anitibiotics to no avail. I was told to make a tea from FRESH parsley and drink one cup a day for a week and then repeat every month. I did this for a couple of years and never had another infection. I know when there is an infection getting ready to start (lower back pain and/or strong urinary smell and I just boil some parsley and it is gone the next day. (Really tastes bad at first but you get used to it) and it really does work
i f0und out that taking CEFUROXIME AXETIL also kn0wn as ZEGEN is the best medicine y0u sh0uld have been takin.l0ils..
I tried all the home remedies for my UTI and ended up with a very serious kidney infection. Antibiotics are necessary!
I bought a huge bottle of water, like the ones someone would carry around for a long trip and i drank it all in one hour and it completely flushed my system.
The past few UTI's that I have had have been instantly cured by taking a Vitamin B pill (ex. Super B Complex) and drinking cranberry juice with as little added sugar as you can find at the store. Within hours the burning and frequent urination is gone -- no need to go to the doctor and buy expensive prescriptions.
