Home remedies for uti conditions can be very effective. They often work out to be much more economical than prescriptions and over the counter treatments-both of which can work out to be very costly.

Urinary tract infections are generally caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. Under normal circumstances, this is not a problem and the body's own defenses will fight off the bacteria. However, there are occasions when this does not happen and the bacteria multiplies to a level where it causes inflammation and pain.

There are various home remedies for uti's which can be tried. These can be very effective when the condition is very mild. They will also give some symptomatic relief to moderate to severe urinary tract infections but on these occasions, you may find that you need more help to eradicate the infection altogether. As a general "rule of thumb", if the pain is quite severe and has lasted for more than 24 hours, it is best to use a guaranteed cure such as the one detailed below.

Home Remedies For UTI

The following self-help measures will help give some relief:-

* Drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria (6-8 glasses per day)

* Place a heated pad on the abdomen

* Take a mild painkiller

* Avoid using perfumed products near the vaginal area

* Do not wear tight trousers

* A warm bath can give almost instant pain relief

* Avoid alcohol and caffeine

* Try drinking 2 glasses on unsweetened cranberry juice each day

* Take a vitamin C supplement to strengthen the immune system

Other treatments for urinary tract infections include antibiotics and over the counter treatments. Antibiotics can work initially, but they work by killing off the bacteria in the urinary tract and this can cause a problem. Within the urinary tract there is both "good" and "bad" bacteria and the antibiotics do not distinguish between the two. The good bacteria normally balances out and controls the bad bacteria and if both are destroyed, this mean that once bacteria is naturally reintroduced, there is nothing to fight it. This is exactly why many women find that they have repeated attacks of urinary infections and cannot seem to get rid of them.

For uncomplicated urinary tract infections, there is a natural cure which is guaranteed to work. It begins to relieve pain within minutes and is ideal for those occasions when the self-help measures do not seem to be making the condition any better.

This cure will work well alongside the home remedies for UTI detailed above and is completely natural and has no side effects.
