How To Cure A Urinary Tract Infection Naturally

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system- bladder, ureters, kidneys, and urethra.

If the infection only affects your bladder can be painful and annoying, but if it spreads to your kidneys can cause serious consequences. It is a fact that women are at greater risk of developing UTI than men are.

Signs and symptoms of UTI may include:

• A burning feeling when you urinate
• Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
• Cloudy, dark or bloody urine
• Strange-smelling urine
• Pain in your back or lower abdomen
• Natural Cure for Urinary Tract Infection

There is a fruit that has been used medicinally since the 2nd century and it is called Uva ursi or bearberry (because bears like eating the fruit).

It is used primarily for urinary tract disorders, including infections of the bladder, urethra, and kidney; increased urination; swelling (inflammation) of the urinary tract;  painful urination; and urine that contains excess uric acid or other acids.


This amazing fruit can also be used for a lung condition called bronchitis as well as against constipation.

According to researches, this herb helps in reducing the inflammation and fights infection, and they believe that the herb best works when a person’s urine is alkaline since acid destroys its antibacterial effect. Start consuming it the minute you notice the first sign of infection.

The herb is easily available at drugstores in supplement forms.
