Home Remedies for Bladder
Infection
The term UTI includes bladder irritation, as well as infection
caused by various microorganisms.
Bladder infection conditions occur more often in women,
due to anatomical differences. In middle-aged men, however,
a swollen prostate is the typical cause for urinary retention
and infection. Underlying causes include nutritional deficiencies
and immune susceptibility, as well as the more obvious irritations
from intercourse, tight clothing, spices, coffee, tea, medicines,
alcohol or high sugar in the urine. Food allergies may be
a significant factor, especially in children.
Herbs for the urinary tract infection generally have diuretic
effects, to flush out infection and inflammation by-products.
Many are also antimicrobial, either destroying microorganisms
or stimulating the body to do so. Along with quelling inflammation,
other plants help heal irritated mucus membrane linings
of the bladder, urethra and ureter, and the kidney tubules.
In most cases, simple bladder infection can be easily and
effectively dealt with using the herbs below. In cases where
antibiotic resistant bacteria are involved, or where no
bacteria are detected, as in interstitial cystitis, herbs
become even more important and uniquely effective.
