Chop up organic garlic and swallow it. I swallow it like pills, with my fresh juice in the morning. I take anywhere from 3-6 large cloves. Also, Manuka Honey (I buy mine at Whole Foods). Both of these have anti-bacterial properties and are natural Antibiotics . Of course, there's always the standard cranberry that is recommended but that doesn't seem to work for me, not potent enough. I would definitely try this remedy before taking antibotics.

You can google the Manuka Honey to find more info on it. As far as I know, it's the best honey for medicinal purposes (possibly the only one).

Hope you feel better soon :)

Natural unsweetened cranberry juice (not from the supermarket, from the health food stor) or cranberry capsules, every day.

Getting to the source of the problem is the answer. Try a good kidney/bladder cleanse.

I had a UTI and the symptoms were developing quickly. I drank Sea Salt water and the burning instantly went away. I also bought cranberry pills and started taking them. I wouldn't recommend juice as it has Sugar in it, which will make the infection worse. Even though I felt fine, I still saw my doctor a few days later because a UTI can lead to a very serious problem that can result in kidney failure! She gave me Antibiotics and I was as good as new. I continued taking the cranberry pills on and off for a few months because 20% of people who get UTI's are likely to get it again. HTH.

My wife takes one oderless garlic tab when she feels a uninary infection coming on. It takes it away every time.

Hi there! I agree with some of the other posters in there being a root cause to the UTI problem (especially if it recurring), but in the meantime it helps to have a natural way to get rid of it! I had one for the first time a little ago and the doctor prescribed me some gentle Antibiotics and said to drink cranberry juice.
Ugh, well first off cranberry juice (a common natural cure for UTIs) will usually exasperate the problem. Cranberry juice itself doesn't have enough of the naturally occurring d-mannose in it to really kill off the e-coli bacteria which is what causes most UTIs. If someone has a really mild UTI and they take loads of cranberry juice they might get rid of enough of the bacteria and their body will fight off the rest of it. That's why a lot of people go the way of cranberry juice. Well I'd say to really ward of the travel of infection up to your kidneys, get some d-mannose. I recommend it above all, and before you do an unecessary round of Antibiotics . It is the component in cranberry juice isolated that is going to grab on to e-coli bacteria and take it out when you pee. Voila! No killing of the good bacteria in your body like Antibiotics do. On my first day of some tooted antibiotic, 12 hours after taking it I felt SO nauseous but couldn't actually throw up. Just had the motions of vomitting. I didnt take another one after that. I bought some d-mannose that same day. The next visit to the doctor, she checked my culture and the bacteria was almost gone. That was a day or two later. Usually d-mannose works right away on any symptoms of pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, you may be having associated with your UTI. In addition to d-mannose you can take apple cider vinegar in a cup of water with honey a couple of times a day. It will make your body alkaline so that the bacteria can't survive and help to kill the bacteria. A pinch or two of baking soda in water swallowed every so often will also do this. Just be mindful that it has a lot of sodium in it. Grapefruit seed extract is EXCELLENT for bacterial infections throughout the body and you can take it in juice. If you only do a couple of things go with d-mannose and ACV. You will be cured of it in no time! Hope this helps ya!

Raw garlic like everyone else already said.

What I do is buy bottled apple juice and add ACV to it. ACV mixes well with Apple Juice..it doesnt give it a vinegar-y taste.

And with cranberry..the trick is Cranberry Extract. Buy that and mix it with cranberry juice or crangrape or whatever.. The extract is pretty nasty.. but it's like ACV and mixes well with juice.

This time of year is great..buy fresh cranberries and stock up and freeze them. Then blend them or juice them with other berries. :)
