I think I might have a urinary tract infection, what are some home remedies that I can take to get rid of it?


in the future, prevent this by wiping front to back, urinating before and after intercourse, drink plenty of fluids, so on and so forth.

but now that you have it….you really don't want to rely on home remedies here. go to a clinic if you can't afford the doctors visit. you need an anti-biotic and the cost is nothing compared to a full on bladder infection or worse a kidney infection.

DO NOT listen to the people advising d-mannose . it is acidic, has specific compounds that work against adherance, and works great for PREVENTION…but does little if you already have a pathgen that has colonized. the most it will do is hinder it's growth, but it will not get rid of it. this is especially true if the pathogen is something other than E.coli. (with that having been said, e. coli is the usual suspect for UTIs)

anyhow, do still drink d-mannose as it helps to keep the bacteria from spreading up the ureters. blueberry works well too if you don't like d-mannose . just PLEASE do not rely on this alone to get rid of the pathogen completely. you need some proper medical attention here.

oh yeah, and avoid coffee.

furthermore, if you won't listen to me as a nursing student…at least listen to tweetybird as she is an actual RN…and ignore the turds that don't know any better than to give me a thumbs down ;)

i mean hell, what do we know about such things :p


Attention Ladies, this is Suzi, many people have been writing in asking what the stuff was that I used to clear up my UTI last week, so I wanted to put the link to this stuff here

    No home remedy will 'get rid of it' but 100 % cranberry juice (not from concentrate) can ease the symptoms. You need to get an antibiotc to get rid of it. Get to the doc quick, it can turn into bloody urine and the most Gawdawful pain you have ever felt really quick!

    Home remedies ? Lots and lots of cranberry juice. There is something to it, the deep red juice, the cranberries . . . something that aids in clearing a urinary tract infection. I actually drink it as a preventative measure and know that cranberry juice is healthy for me as a woman with monthly cycles and all that goes along with it.

    PURE cranberry juice, nothing else added from your health food store. while you are there, get some cranberry capsules or tablets to take with plenty of water, follow directions on box.

    also dandelion root tea is good, the same store should have a good UTI tea
    cranberry inhibits bacteria from adhering to the bladder/kidney/intestinal walls
    go low sugar and take your vitamins, eat healthy!

    There are no home remedies to treat this infection unless you happen to have Cipro on your kitchen shelf. You need to be seen by a health care provider for an exam, a urine culture and sensitivity, a diagnosis and a prescription. Schedule an appointment as soon as you can. In the meantime, drink 3 liters water daily and you can drink cranberry juice as well if you like.

    A women who gave an answer above mine mentioned "there's something about cranberry juice…". It's the acidity. Makes urine very acidic and inhospitable for bacteria. It helps prevent UTIs but doesn't cure them once they are there. You still need to see your doctor .

    Drink Cleartract juice. There are capsules you can buy (from chemist or health food store) that contain concentrated cranberry extract. These are more effective than cranberry juice alone, because of their higher concentration. If it does not go away, see a doctor.

    First off I would make an appointment with my DR. but if that's a problem and you have had this in the past and know the symptoms, you can try lots of water, don't drink any thing that would irritate it more, as in lots of soda. I've had this before and cranberry's are the best for that and bladder infections or kidney. I don't care for the cranberry juice, so I by the cranberry pills ( in the vitamin section ). I start out with 4 of them all at once, then follow the directions on the bottle. I take that many because it kind of jumps starts the flushing of the infection and you can't overdose on it, your body only absorbs what it needs and flushes out what it don't. Plus new research shows tons of good benefit's that cranberry's do for the body, even helps prevent some types of cancer. I take cranberry pills daily know. They also have a lot of vitamin C plus other vitamins that we need daily. Research cranberries on-line and you will get all the info. and great benefits that they do.
    GOOD LUCK

    I have been using hydrogen peroxide for more than eighteen years orally! It has cured all kinds of infections in me! It's readily available, inexpensive, and works miracles! Just a capful at a time, and let it get a little watery, if you can't swallow, right away! You can add to drinks or food! It's not great in orange juice, but it works great with vitamin C to heal your infection! If you get too much in you at a time, you might feel a bit of nausea! It will go away! It cured pneumonia in me in less than twenty-four hours! It wasn't easy getting over eight ounces in me, over night! It cured me of toxic shock syndrome, as well! I used it vaginally, and orally! Check out H2O2, google search! I bought a book at a health food store in 1988, "H2O2, Cure For Cancer, Aids, and Other Incurable Diseases", the research was done at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minneasota! "Alternative Therapies, Definitive Guide" Copywrite 1994, Dr. Farr, nobel prize winner's article, "Oxygen Therapies". H2O2 is water and an extra atom of oxygen! The O1 is pure, a radicle, and splits off, and attacks, germs, virus, bacteria, parasites! All germs, virus, bacteria, even parasites are anerobic, they can not live in the presence of pure oxygen! O2 is balanced, and usually never pure, and combines readily with other chemicals, and gases! O3, ozone, is used for water purification, and in the processing of fruits and vegetables, and other foods, and drinks! H2O2, the taste is a bit bleachy, but it works! If very much is ingested, it could wipe out the healthy bacteria in your intestines, which then, you could replenish it with supplements, or live acidophilos in yogurt, or milk, or other probiotics! Preservatives, antibiotics, alcohol, all deplete your healthy bacteria in your intestines, as well! The medical industry is dollar driven! It is controlled by the pharmaceutical companies, who can not make money from oxygen therapies! The hyperbaric chambers is used to treat mutiple sclerosis, and helps anyone with nerve damage, or even brings people out of comas! It is two and a half pressures of oxygen! Check it out, hydrogen peroxide really was a life saver for me! I even used it, when I had a bad pap test, abnormal cells are supposed to be the beginning of cancer! Just used it once in the vagina, laying down, put in as a douche, and left it in as long as possible! It worked, my next pap test was perfect! God Bless! What I've used is the three percent, over the counter, solution, nothing stronger!

    Having had your problem and knowing others who have (one friend had one so badly he had blood in his urine) I'd recommend what I suggest to anybody with this problem:

    Drink water and more water and more water and more water. Flush and flush and flush the fluids through your tract.

    Mine always went away. The friend with the blood, his went away. He took NO medications, no anti-biotics, just drank water.
    Others I know acheived 100% 'cure' of their infection this way as well.

    The irritation is a build up of bacteria. Cleartract juice is a great prevention tool – it coats your bladder which makes bacteria harder to attach and grow. As for healing, it will help but not get rid of.

    Drink water all day for 3 days. If it doesn't go away by then, THEN go to the doctor.

    But time and time and time again, drinking plenty of fresh water not only prevents but cure's UTI's.

    Anybody who says there are no natural remedies isn't very well read and forgets people had these illnesses before medicine & hospitals existed and were able to get better without anti-biotics! lol

    Of course, cranberry juice is one of the favorites. However, you need to drink pure cranberry juice, which is a little bitter and more expensive. Most of the cranberry juice "cocktails" have lots of sugar and other juices. Sugar can aggravate an infection.

    An herb known to help urinary infections is called uva ursi. My mother-in-law used it and had good results. It is available at most health food stores.
