I don't take any prescription medicines unless absolutely necessary (pain med for tooth extraction - only needed it for one day), so I really didn't want to have to do antibiotics for a bladder infection. I was having painful urination, and there was mild discomfort before and afterward. I tried the baking soda in the morning and noticed that my frequency cut down first, from an hour to two hours between bathroom visits. By that afternoon the discomfort that stayed with me after a "visit" had diminished. I took another dose in the afternoon, and this morning there are no symptoms at all! I can imagine the acidity in my system came from too many desserts. I'd also had a shot of ACV mixed with lemon juice, water, and Stevia after something sweet yesterday, to keep my blood sugar from rising. I hadn't been doing that for a while. Today, I'll continue both, since I've seen sites since then that said to mix the two. I'll rinse with water afterwards, (to protect tooth enamel), and skip two days after 5 days, as suggested on one of these sites. I need to make sure my ph level is more alkaline. Thanks, Earth Clinic, for having such a great place to go for natural remedies. I'm adding you to my favorites bar!!

Finally, found this website and started taking own action. Thanks ladies for your advice. One more thing to add to the discussion in addition to all the other remedies. I decided to drastically change my diet. Cut out all foods with added sugar (yeah, all the nice stuff - cakes, chocolate, etc. ), cut down all yeast foods and replaced with rye bread/flat bread/crackers etc. Replaced regular tea/coffee with decaff and mint tea. Used honey instead of refined sugar. Cranberry juice and water instead of alcohol. It's a toughy but I have to say it's working. I've been free for over a week.. Not long I know but it feels better than nothing. What's more, the weight is coming off too! Don't recommend this forever, but was tired of seeing doctors and thought it time to take myself in hand!

I forgot to vote "Yes" for the sea salt remedy for UTIs. Last January, my family was moving and everyone but me was on antibiotics for one ailment or another. I don't like to take antibiotics because I tend to get candida flare ups, so I started drinking pure, sugar-free cranberry juice like I normally do to make a UTI go away. Plus, I take one cranberry pill, probiotics, and pre-biotics on a daily basis at night. Well, surprisingly the cranberry juice did not do the trick this time, so I found your site and read about the sea salt remedy. I think I took 1 tsp in one glass of warm water before bedtime. The next morning, things felt 85% better but not 100%, so I repeated the process the next night. Voila! It was gone and I didn't have to go get antibiotics. Now I throw a little bit (maybe 1/8 tsp) of sea salt into my water every night before I go to bed as a preventative measure. I don't use salt on my food, and I only use sea salt for cooking. I haven't had a UTI since even though there have been times (holidays, birthday parties) when I've eaten a lot of sugar. However, as I mentioned previously, I take acidophilus, a candida-eating probiotic, prebiotics, and cranberry pills every night along with my other natural supplements. I hope this info helps everyone! Oh, btw, I am a 40 year old female in good health. Thanks again.

As no doctors can! It dates back to when I was little, I began having discomforts with certain citrus fruits and anything too processed. I would get a bit of discomfort down below. Then I started getting my period 2x a month, my mother took me to a doctor and they put me on a birth controll pill that evened this out for me. By this age I was slightly anemic so I was taking iron supplements as well as eating all the right things. I soon came off the pill as I was a conscious teenager and I felt I was putting on weight. Stuff seemed to settle down but I still had to stay away from the certain fruits and foods. Now I am going on to be 20 in a few days and about 10 months a go a lot of things started flaring up. It started with lower abdominal pain and bloating. I started going out with my partner 10 months ago, he is completly STi free and has had no problems down in his department. Anyway as I go on... Then I got a series of what the doctors called 'urine infections' although I always new this was not the case. The anti-biotics would seem to help me for 2-3 days and then the pain would come back. My urine had no 'fishy odour' it didn't sting and the only pain I could describe it as was a 'contraction'. I was now getting these 'infections' every 2 weeks. It was now starting to affect my studies, I was lying down on the floor gulping down 1 litre bottles of water trying to flush everything out my system. the only thing that would relieve me would be squatting or very hot water baths. I was also feeling feverish and extreme tiredness as well as back pain. The pain went on and on for months until one day I woke up at 5 am and I had to make myself go to A n E. They did a urine test detected a very week UTI and gave me MORE antibiotics. I saw a doctor and he was concerned which triggered me into thinking something else could be the matter here. I have been on every anti-biotic known to man literally. The doctor then said I needed to be STI tested-which I knew was again not the case as I have always been cautious with this area. I got tested for the last time and everything was NEGATIVE, no STI's no YEAST infections, NOTHING. and as I said my partner is clean and been tested recently again too. The thing is.. Before I have sex I am okay although bloating is an everyday thing for me, but after sex I get a 'uti'. example: I went to the doctor and 3 days after having sex once in between I end up in AGONY and had to go to A n E coming back with antibiotics and a UTI. I have been recently having my period 2x a month again and I am on the cerazette pill, which I am now coming off as I am getting rashes, breast pain and sickness. I have seen 3 gyne's and nothing is abnormal. Saw a urineologist a week ago did a scan over organs etc, nothing abnormal. I have doing everything, from holistic things to diet to pills. I have tried a wheat free and gluten diet which didn't make too much of a difference. I have like I said been on so many antibiotics it's a joke. I got told that my mother's spiritual friend picked up on a fault in my back as well as my knee. I just need some help ANYTHING! From foods to help soothe or something I can go buy until someone will take me seriously and stop pumping pills into my body.... I can't cope with my uni work load I can't work, I can barely go a week without being in agony. I drink camomile tea, I stay away from junk and my diet is pretty good for a 19 year old student. thank you kimberleydavies1(at)hotmail.com " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/bladder_infection.html&name=ACV_67462 /CURES/bladder_infection4.rss8 Tue, 22 Nov 11 09:45:59 -0600 Linda from Okotoks, Ab Canada writes: "To whom it may concern; In desperation I began searching the internet tonight for natural cures for UTI's.

Since I have no insurance, I wanted to try the natural route. I bought some cranberry tablets that did absolutely nothing, in fact it seemed to make the burning/tingling sensation more intense. After doing some reading on this website and nother website, I decided to go to GNC to get some organic apple cider vinegar. While there, I purchased the regular Bragg's ACV in addition to a ACV beverage by Bragg's containing cinnamon (I heard both ACV and cinnamon were good for bladder infections and for lowering the ph of urine, which helps to kill of bacteria associated with this infection). I immediately drank the beverage, then went to Walmart to get some ginger root tablets for $4 (ginger is also good for keeping urine alkaline and fighting off certain bacteria like e. Coli that is often responsible for uti's). I took three that day, and felt immediate relief the next time I used the restroom. When I went to use the restroom at the very end of the day before bed, there was no longer a burning/tingling sensation and my urine was no longer foul smelling or cloudy. The next day I took a tablespoon of undiluted ACV with lots of water to wash it down. I also took 3 more ginger root tablets throughout the course of the day and again no symptons. When I woke up today, the symptons still appear to be gone. Over the next couple of days, I think I will continue to take 1 tablespoon of ACV and maybe try oregano oil or garlic tablets, just to make sure the infection stays gone.

I went to the local pharmacy and picked up a Goldenseal Echineaca blend capsule. I took two capsules three times per day when I first felt symptoms of the UTI. To be thorough, I also bought a home urine test to measure the possibility of UTI. The test measured that I was positive for UTI. After taking the goldenseal for 1 day, I was symptom free. After 2 days, I retook the test and was negative. I continued the goldenseal capsules for 5 days and tapered offer to once per day for a few more days. Symptoms never reappeared and still registered normal on the urine test 2 weeks later. I also had an experience with symptoms of a yeast infection. I used a douche mixture of one capsule of goldenseal, 1/4 tsp of salt and one cup of water. Douched once and was symptom free w/in one day. However, I followed up with a second douche two days later to be sure and symptoms never resurfaced. Even after my pap smear just one month later, I was clear. I actually mentioned my experience to my doctor. He said its always best to come in to be checked but he is aware of goldenseal's antibiotic properties!

I get these all the time unfortunately, and not just little ones - really bad ones. I've urinated blood and had kidney infections from them before. The key to treating UTIs is to treat them FAST. If you think that you are getting one, treat it immediately - don't wait. The infection spreads fast and in a matter of hours, you can be in serious pain. You may notice that your UTI clears up after just one dose of ACV - but this is very important - DON'T STOP TAKING THE ACV - take it 3x per day, for one week - EVEN IF you feel no symptoms! Just like a UTI can come back if you stop taking antibiotics, it can come back if you stop taking the ACV, and with a vengeance. I keep a bottle of ACV with me at all times - I even bring a bottle with me overseas when I travel, and it has saved me through quite a few UTI episodes! Please note that this remedy is only for mild UTIs. If you don't see an improvement in symptoms, or if you are urinating blood, have symptoms of a kidney infection, or are in serious pain - GO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. UTIs are very serious if left untreated - the infection can spread to your kidneys and cause permanent scarring. If you don't have health insurance, a lot of drugstores in the US (and even some Targets now) have health clinics that diagnose and treat urinary tract infections for under $100. A UTI clears up extremely quickly with the correct antibiotics.

UTI's are seriously one of the worst and most uncomfortable sensations a person can have- very annoying! I am away at college and had no clue what to do (without a vehicle to drive to the doctors, mind you). I immediately panicked and looked up at-home remedies to find a quick solution. I have always known about unsweetend cranberry juice but that's about all I have heard. This is only my third UTI ever, so I don't really know a lot about what can help, treat, etc. After frantically searching through some random websites, I came across Earth Clinic and... HALLELUJAH!! Probably one of the best things I've ever done. I noticed right away all of the users who vouch for ACV so I decided I would give it a shot. However, because of the no-car situation I am in, I had to wait for one of my roommates to come home so I could hitch a ride to the grocery store. In the meantime, I mixed up a solution of about 3 tbsps lemon juice and 8 oz. of water. I started feeling relief almost immediately. By the time I picked up some ACV, I already felt well enough to focus on things other than my UTI. I mixed up my own recipe of cranberry juice, lemon juice, ACV, and water that works absolute wonders. Seriously... UTI's suck, and it is the worst feeling when you don't have the time/circumstances to rush to the doctors. If you feel one coming on, or if you've been suffering from one, just STOP! Drink some ACV and if you have it, lemon juice, and you will be returning to normal in no-time! I promise, this stuff is a MIRACLE!! It really works!! I still have a slight UTI but because I've only been drinking it for a day now I know I just need to give it some more time. Also, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!! ACV works beautifully, but you need to be constantly flushing your bladder to fully rid yourself of the bacteria. Thank you so much for reading this, and thank you SO MUCH for all of the combined posts that recommend ACV! IT'S AMAZING! Here's my recipe that works for me, hopefully it will work for you too! 2 tbsps Apple Cider Vinegar 2 or 3 tbsps 100% Lemon Juice 8 to 15 ounces of Water **I also have tried the ACV and Lemon Juice with unsweetened cranberry juice. Just replace water with that. It makes it taste a little better!!

I stopped and started 5or 6 times over the past 2yrs. and every time the boils would come back, till finally I said to myself, I need to stay on the Cystex because I'm sick and tired of boils. It is great tasting, and only cost 10.00 for 1 bottle that lasts for about a month. Sometimes it is on sale for 7.99 ea. To me it's worth the 10.00 to be boil free. It's natural and no side effects.

YOWZA! ) By my late 20's it was diagnosed as a condition called CYSTITIS... With speculation that at this point in development, it could be IC (interstitial cystitis). I was not born with this condition. It began when I was 17 years old and at the time was triggered by sex. I had all the symptoms: frequency of urination, pain after urinating, inflammation of bladder (swollen tummy), and at some point inability to hold urine. In the very beginning, I went to a Western traditional doctor and was prescribed anti-biotics. From this point on the infection never seemed to entirely go away and I continued taking anti-biotics, on and off for the next 5 years... As doctors really could not explain my body's resistance... Over this 5 yr course of time (on & off) I took: Bactrim, Cipro, Macrodantin and at some point Tetracycline... Basically ladies & gents, it was a bit of a nightmare.... Again and again, the bacteria developed resistance. Eventually, in my mid 20's, I found myself with the best medical (and temporary!! Hahaha! ) insurance coverage and began seeing a Urologist. I had many, many tests & a few Xrays done to determine if it was a physical deformity in my "plumbing". Everything came out negative. Even the Urologist seemed suprised. In the end of the conversation, his medical advice was "Dont worry, "it" (the bacteria) will burn itself out".... 10 years or so after, well.. It hasnt, my body is still recovering/restoring/regenerating from the damage done by anti-biotics... Yet, it is manageable (many lifestyle adjustments).... I came on here today, simply to just caution those from the overuse and abuse of anti-biotics as a false sense of hope... It seems like a good idea at the time yet it is a dire "trade-off" for most patients... What may seem like healing or a cure in that moment, to just to be able to experience relief... BE MOST CAREFUL AND AWARE WITH YOUR BODY!!! If you find you are experiencing reoccuring bladder/UT infections I recommend: alternative medicines/treatments: Chinese medicine/treatment, Holistic herbal medicine, stress management, diet and general lifestyle adjustments. General herbal treatment/healing food diet support : "Healing herbal soup broth" handful herbs of horsetail, parsley, cornsilk, uva Ursi, cleavers, usnea (some herbs are easier to find than others.. try natural health food stores or co-ops etc.) pinch of fresh Oregano several cloves of garlic (the more the better) 4 cups of Spring/distilled water Cook for 1/2hr (the longer you let sit the better, I find making a new pot of broth while I have some in hand.. Keeps the body flushing) strain... drink throughout day... Diet ( this has great significance, especially while fighting off an infection): AVOID: #1-SUGAR (even natural fruit sugars), dairy, greasy or fried foods, spicy foods, chicken, shellfish, tomatoes, coffee, sodas, alcohol. Healing diet: GREENS, GREENS, GREENS!!! Fresh everything is best. REAL/WHOLE FOODS, nothing processed, no junk food (do your best, your body will thank you in the long run)... explore and get creative with your diet!!! We are what we eat!!! Whether you juice it (google juicing), or make yummy healing stews or use all the colors of the rainbow to knock out a jaw dropping salad (easy on any weird supermarket salad dressings: try lemon, olive oil, flax or sesame seeds, sea salt, black or white pepper)... I eat mostly vegetarian (just easier on my digestive system) yet, if eating meat.. Find out where your meat/fish/poultry etc... Is coming from and what is in it. Meaning, if you can, stay away from the "factory animal farm".... WHAT TO DO WHEN FINDING YOURSELF WITH THE BEGINNING STAGES OF A BLADDER/UT INFECTION: flush out with: 1.Apple cider vinegar (suprise! )... Try not to overdo if using long term... the ph balance in the body is in the center of acidic and alkaline (for most, ideally, leaning more alkaline)... -----2Tbsp. of ACV in 8oz. Of Spring/distilled water... drink throughout the day 2. Drink 1 gallon of Spring/distilled water a day is best... Yes, I did say a gallon.. The more the better... combine with dilution of unsweetened cranberry juice if you feeling too amphibious 3. Pure, unsweetened cranberry juice or cranberry pills 4.Vitamin C (at least 3, 000 a day) 5. Garlic ( raw or pills ) throughout day 6. Probiotic (acidophilus---take daily in general.... pills can be used overnight as vaginal insert for irritation/itchy, stinging etc as well as diluted tea tree oil) ... 7. Drink Herbal Soup Broth throughout day... (very soothing.... ) The healing herbal soup broth recipe can be "tweeked" here and there for your taste buds, more veggies can be added in for more of a healthy meal. Well, the best of health to everyone. Stay positive, count your blessings and dont forget to breath deeply... Expand that ribcage and release!!!

They usually come out of nowhere and fast: pain in the lower stomach, need to urinate, hurts when I do, especially the last drops, and immediate feeling/pain to urinate again 2 seconds later. I have gone through many courses of antibiotics treatments for them. I have even had 5 cystoscopies and urethral dilatations to supposedly solve the issue for good. My urologist keeps telling me that I'm part of this very unlucky part of the female population that will need this procedure every so often in my life. But now I'm tired of it all. I have impeccable hygiene and do all the things you are supposed to do to ensure maximum cleanliness. I have also got a fairly healthy diet, making sure that I eat plenty of fiber to keep my diet in balance and have really reduced my carbs and dairy intake. I try not to over indulge too often but still want to live a little, I am only 30 years old after all! I am really serious about finding a natural cure/remedy/help for this now but I am finding it really difficult because usually only antibiotics would help clear it off. I just dont want to have to become dependant to them or do any damage long term to my health. I've tried cranberry juice, Uva Ursi, doesn't work for me. I've now found out about D-mannose which I started taking when my current infection started (7 days ago now) and it seemed to ease the pain a bit. The infection was still there but the urge to urinate wasn't as frequent. I was able to get on with it (and keep going to work) more easily. But 3 days later, it was still there so I ordered some wild oregano oil and a new supplement/natural antibiotic called Uribiotic (despite the hefty price! ) which I have been taking for 3 days now. My routine today - still suffering a bit though - is: wake up, take D-mannose probiotics, breakfast take 1st Uribiotic, lunch with probiotics and take 2nd uribiotic, get home from work take another D-mannose with probiotics, dinner take uribiotics. I have also tried rubbing the wild oregano oil on my lower stomch when I was in pain one night. I do feel better but it's not fully cleared yet and I am not sure what's done the trick. Could anyone advise if they've had the same symptoms and tried the above? I'm just tired of feeling like this and not being able to lead a "normal" life. I wish there was something I could do to try help and prevent it or at least get rid of it fast and quick! Thanks for reading my loooong statement. Hope it will help someone and that it will help me!

My mother (she is 74) is currently hospitalised after suffering a stroke and a heart attack about a month ago. Thankfully, she seems to slowly be making progress. However, a couple of weeks ago she suffered a big setback when she got a urine infection. During the course of treatment she received for the infection it was noted that when she used the toilet her bladder was not emptying properly and she was retaining a lot of urine in her bladder. Does anybody know of any natural remedies that might assist her with this problem. She is taking Warfarin so cannot take things like Cranberry juice. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I also use Miracle II Neutralizer Gel to relieve the burning/itching. It will help in the vaginal area, but for maximum effectiveness, use some type of syringe or applicator to get it further up into the vagina. Make sure you wash the applicator well first. These two work consistently for me.

It washes away germs. I wonder if drinking Chlorinated water is the best way to go. Chlorine is a real germ killer. It is so powerful that it can kill fish. So if you drink chlorinated water and it goes out the urinary track, then the germs get it good.

So I went searching online for help. I came across your site & it was filled with amazing information! I knew only of cranberry juice for UTI's. There were so many suggestions that I wasnt sure which to try... So I tried them all! I created a cocktail out of cranberry juice, baking soda, vitamin C, sea salt and excedrin. I felt relief within 15 minutes and the infection was gone after only 3 days... With no antibiotics. I will be visiting your site often s I have 3 children who are constantly picking up bugs from school & such. Thank you so much for creating this life, time, money and sanity saving site!!
