Urinary tract infection is an unpleasant condition that ranks among the most common health problems affecting women across all age groups. The resulting inflammation is most often accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, burning, cutting pain and a constant feeling of a full bladder. Traces of blood may also appear in the urine. Fortunately, this painful problem can be effectively prevented – and that from the comfort of your home and without buying overpriced medicines.
Prevention or treatment of inflammation? Instead of visiting the pharmacy, reach into the kitchen
Baking soda is a significant helper in the fight against urinary tract infections. It neutralizes the acidity of the urine, thereby reliably suppressing the infection. At the same time it effectively contributes to cleansing the kidneys. Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a glass of water. Drink once, or possibly twice a day (to enhance the effect) for at least one week. Drink the first daily dose in the morning on an empty stomach.
Another effective natural remedy against this type of inflammation is apple cider vinegar. Its antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal effects are particularly beneficial for human health. Mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water. Consume twice to three times a day, always before meals.
Cranberry juice is almost indispensable for the health of the urinary system. This is due to its anti-infective effects, which have been proven by many scientific studies. This juice also contains proanthocyanidins, which are an effective agent in the fight against bacteria. They remove them and prevent their further multiplication. This helps prevent infection in the future. We recommend drinking juice without added sugar.
Maintaining a proper fluid intake has also proven to be an effective prevention of urinary tract infections. Drinking a sufficient amount of water contributes to the proper functioning of the bladder and kidneys.
