Are you one of the millions who are searching for an effective UTI
natural cure that works holistically with your body? If so, this article
is for you!
About 8 to 12 million Americans will develop a
urinary tract infection (UTI) in the next year. And most of these people
deal with the uncomfortable and dangerous affects, including pain and
burning in the bladder and abdomen when urinating, chills and fever. And
many deal with these symptoms too long and suffer from severe kidney
damage that could be fatal.
The good news is that curing your UTI
is very simple. And you do not need any antibiotics (in fact antibiotics
could cause more harm) to heal yourself.
The Cause and Cure of the Infection
What
causes urinary tract infections? In most cases, the infection is a
result of bacteria, such as E coli, that get into the bladder or urinary
tract. The bacteria immediately begins to multiply if the conditions
are right.
Your body will typically be able to fight off the "bad"
bacteria, but at certain times - when immunity is lower - the bacteria
can proliferate and an infection is the result.
Typical treatments
for the infections include a host of antibiotics that work to kill the
bacteria. This might work if you were to become immune to the bacteria
and never get an infection again. However, antibiotics also have their
shortcomings because they also kill 'good' bacteria in the body. Not to
mention, they also cause the bacteria to become completely resistant to
antibiotics. In other words, you could be super-charging the bacteria
for your next infection.
Researchers have found that people with re-occurring infections are usually people who have taken a number of antibiotics!
The
good news is that you can naturally treat your UTI with simple remedies
that naturally kill the E coli and flush it from your system.
Treatment Before Kidney Damage
If
you notice blood in your urine, have excessive pain in your lower back
or side, or have extended fever, nausea, or vomiting, contact your
primary care physician immediately.
Kidney damage or failure is
very serious problem stemming from this condition. Recurrent infections
may cause scarring in the kidneys which can lead to high blood pressure
and eventual kidney failure. Over time, they can also lead to other
diseases and structural abnormalities. One common disease that is caused
by recurrent infections is kidney stones.
Though you might be
worried, it is important to know that you can cure yourself in hours! In
fact, if you practice simple lifestyle 'good' habits, this might be
your last infection.
Here are Some Ways to Prevent UTIs
1.
Drink plenty of fluids. Research shows that drinking plenty of water
and even cranberry juice can reduce the chances of developing UTIs.
Water will flush the system. And some think cranberries contain a
compound that may stop certain bacteria from attaching to the urinary
tract wall.
2. Urinate often and as much as possible. Do not give the bacteria time to attach itself to the bladder's walls.
3. Wipe from front to back to prevent the intestinal E coli from entering the urinary tract.
4. Clean the genital area every day and before and after sex.
5.
Add parsley to your diet. This garnish provides the urinary tract with
apiol which is a volatile oil that acts as a urinary tract antiseptic.
We recommend boiling one cup of water, add 1 teaspoon of parsley (fresh
or dried) and allow mixture to steep for 10 minutes. Strain parsley from
water and drink up!
