Bladder infections, also known as urinary tract infections (UTIs), can come on suddenly or gradually. Symptoms range from mild irritation to intense pain, a constant urge to urinate, and even blood in the urine. Thankfully, several natural remedies for UTIs can ease discomfort and help eliminate the infection—especially when used early.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which may help kill bacteria in the urinary tract. To use:
- Mix 1–2 tablespoons of ACV in a glass of water.
- Add honey to improve taste if desired.
- Drink 2–3 times per day at the onset of symptoms.
Many readers on Earth Clinic also report success using an ACV sitz bath for quick pain relief.
