When treating a urinary tract infection (UTI), using natural remedies like baking soda and apple cider vinegar is a great way to avoid taking antibiotics, especially if you catch it early enough.
Causes of most UTIs include According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are nearly always the cause of urinary tract infections. These bacteria enter the bladder through the urethra. Any area of the urinary tract is susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTIs).
It is more common in women than in men. Using natural remedies to treat a urinary tract infection at the first sign of symptoms can help prevent a more serious infection from developing.
Apple cider vinegar contains important enzymes, rich minerals, and nutrients such as potassium that prevent the bacteria that cause UTIs from multiplying or growing. Acetic acid in apple cider vinegar has the ability to foster the growth of beneficial bacteria and to kill “bad” bacteria at the same time
Ingredients:
- Organic apple cider vinegar
- Filtered water
Directions:
Mix 2-3 tablespoons in a glass of water. Drink it twice or thrice a day. Add raw honey for a better taste.
Baking Soda UTI Treatment
Baking Soda creates an alkaline environment in the body, which bacteria do not like so it will not be able to spread.
Add one teaspoon of baking soda to one cup of water and drink it once a day. Be careful not too add too much baking soda.
It is important to remember to treat UTI as soon as you see the signs of it and that UTI that last longer than two days requires medical intervention.
