Does cinnamon really help treat a UTI?!


Question:

Does cinnamon really help treat a UTI?

I'm looking for some natural remedies.

I get them all the time, so I know all about antibiotics. I was just wondering if there was any way to keep the infection from spreading until I can get to the doc.

I know about cranberry too. I'm wondering what people know about cinnamon as a treatment.

OMG I HAVE CHRONIC UTI!!! I don't have "too many lovers", I'm 28 and have been married for 4 years. Getting them all the time means three times a year, my whole life. Please stop answering me as if I'm stupid.


Answers:

Yes Beth, cinnamon really may help your a UTI.
On the onset of urinary tract symptoms consume vitamin C supplements. It increases the acidity level of urine which helps to decrease the bacteria present in the urinary tract.
You can apply a warm heating pad or hot water bottle on your abdomen to ease the pain.

Use of spices like cinnamon and tincture mixture of herbs like buchu, uva ursi and juniper berries can act as antiseptics to clean kidney and bladder.

Drink one glass of water for every 10 hours of the day. This will help you keep tab on the amount of water you drink.
Avoid bladder irritants like citrus, tomatoes, aged cheese, chocolate, spicy food, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. The irritants may differ for some individuals, but these are some of the common ones.

Drink good amount of cranberry juice as it one of the most simple and natural way of treating urinary tract infection. It prevents as well as heals the infection due to its medicinal properties
