Urinary Tract Infection ( UTI ) - Healing Naturally

A urinary tract infection (UTI) (also known as acute cystitis or bladder infection) is an infection that affects part of the urinary tract. 

When it affects the lower urinary tract it is known as a simple cystitis (a bladder infection) and when it affects the upper urinary tract it is known as pyelonephritis (a kidney infection).

Symptoms from a lower urinary tract include painful urination and either frequent urination or urge to urinate (or both), while those of pyelonephritis include fever and flank pain in addition to the symptoms of a lower UTI.

In the elderly and the very young, symptoms may be vague or non-specific. The main causal agent of both types is Escherichia coli, though other bacteria, viruses or fungi may rarely be the cause.

Urinary tract infections occur more commonly in women than men, with half of women having at least one infection at some point in their lives.

Recurrences are common. Risk factors include female anatomy, sexual intercourse, improper hygiene, dirty loos, especially public and on an airplane and family history.

The easy cure is  a round of antibiotics, which I am definitely not in favor off, especially if it’s lower urinary tract infection and the symptom’s are just frequent or painful urination or the urge to constantly urinate.

Antibiotics are heavy on the system and in the long run, damage the liver and eventually other organs.

A natural cure is far better and really is quite simple. The thing is the virus or bacteria that causes lower UTI  survives, multiplies and breathes in an acidic environment. If you can change the PH level of your system from acidic to alkaline, you kill this virus and automatically reduce the pus cells in your urine culture.

Load up on a lot of water. Even though you may be urinating frequently, the more water the better.
 
Add some lemon to that water so you instantly change the pH level of your system.

Fresh cucumber juice or eating just raw cucumber is excellent for this condition.
 
Vegetable juices with lemon added to it.

Coconut water.

1.2 tsp of baking soda added to a glass of water will also change your PH system.
 
Pure cranberry juice or a cranberry extract supplement can work wonders for you .
 
Take a Vitamin C supplement to boost immunity and fight out the virus.

Yogurt.

Crushed coriander seeds soaked in water overnight, drink the water in the morning.
 
Use these natural methods to heal yourself and as a preventive measure, try and keep your body more alkaline. That’s best for you’re over all heath and well-being.
