Today, I want to cover the top remedies for a UTI. I have an older video on this topic, but I wanted to update it with some new information.

A UTI stands for urinary tract infection. This could be in the lower part, as in a bladder infection, or the upper part, which could be more of a kidney infection.

The most common pathogen involved with a UTI is E.coli. Normally, in our bodies, E.coli isn’t harmful—it’s neutral. But, a change in the environment it lives in can cause it to become pathogenic.

A few things that can lead to E.coli becoming pathogenic:

• High glucose

• High estrogen (pregnancy or ovulation)

• Antibiotics (especially quinoline)

• Intercourse (cross contamination)

• Low estrogen (decreased vaginal flora)

• Catheters

Natural remedies for a UTI:

1. Buchu

• Anti-adhesive (may prevent bacteria from attaching and accumulating)

2. Cranberry

3. Uva ursi
