Home Remedies for UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)

Probiotics

Probiotics are live bacteria that would provide many health benefits for the urinary tract. They would help prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms and aid in digestion. A special strain called lactobacilli is particularly effective in treating urinary tract infection. It would keep harmful bacteria from attaching to cells in the tract and produce hydrogen peroxide in your urine. More importantly, consuming probiotics would reduce the level of urine PH, making the condition less favorable for the infection. You can find probiotics in many dairy and fermented products such as kefir, yogurt, kimchi, miso, sauerkraut, or cheese. [3]
