Home Remedies for Bladder Infections

Vitamin C Supplements

Vitamin C supplements can help prevent a bladder infection from developing. The key is to take them as soon as you start to feel the signs. In general, this vitamin can prevent the acidification of the urine, thus preventing bacteria from entering and growing in the bladder. Also, vitamin C can boost the immune system. You should take 500 mg each hour and stop when bowel movements are loose. Consider combining vitamin C with anti-inflammatory teas, such as nettle, echinacea, and goldenseal. [5]
