I used to be a truck driver. My ex-husband and I owned an eighteen wheeler and drove all over the US and Canada. We lived on the road for two years.
It was a great adventure. First, it certainly teaches you a thing or two about yourself and your spouse. Not to mention it puts your relationship to the test, living in a rolling box with one twin bed and that’s pretty much it (we enjoyed that adventure but obviously our relationship didn’t last…).
Second, it was a lot of fun spending each day in a different place. Moving around. Exploring, meeting new and interesting people.
I just wish we’d had a working toilet in the truck.
One thing I do not miss is gas station restrooms. Imagine using only gas station restrooms for two years in a row and not having a decent place to wash off after you do the deed, if you know what I mean… Psheee! I had more urinary tract infections than hairs on my body. And believe me, I have some hair on my body.
OK, this last paragraph was totally disgusting!
Oh well…
How to Get Rid of a UTI Without Antibiotics…
Man, I wish I knew this simple (and I mean ridiculously simple…) trick of how to get rid of a UTI without antibiotics back then. Would’ve saved me major pain and discomfort, not to mention gas and time. Can you imagine trying to find a clinic with an eighteen wheeler parking spot.
Yeah, not happening.
Let’s cover the basics for a moment…
What is a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)?
UTI is an infection in the bladder.
What Cases a UTI?
UTI is caused by bacteria that travel through the urethra, which is the tube that transfers urine from our bladder to the outside of our body.
Women especially are prone to a UTI because we have a shorter urethra and because the opening of our urethra is close to the anus. Bacteria (such as E. coli) from the large intestine can leave through the anus and find it’s way to the opening of the urethra.
Talk about bad design!
Anyway, this is why we should always clean from front to back after using the restrooms.
If not treated, the infection can spread and reach the kidneys.
What are the Symptoms of UTI?
You can’t miss it. You’ll want to go to the restrooms frequently, even though very little comes out when you are there. When you try to pee, it will burn. Your urine might smell different or have a different color. You might feel tired, shaky, and have back or lower stomach pain. In some cases, you might even have a fever.
How to Get Rid of a UTI Without Antibiotics?
Before I got into natural, homemade medicine, I did what most people do. I ran to the doctor. Time after time after time. I ran to the doctor, and he or she prescribed antibiotics that will kill the bad bacteria. The only problem was that it killed the good bacteria as well, leaving my body exposed to bad bacteria.
The cycle never ended. I had one infection after another.
This little trick here helped me find instant relief from UTI pain and a complete cure within 3 or 4 days without the use of antibiotics! It saved me a trip to the doctor, and I got to keep my good bacteria.
But first, it’s time for the disclaimer…
**I am not a doctor. Nor I will ever be. In this post, I share with you how I cured my UTI without using antibiotics. This way might not be the right way to take care of your particular body. **
So here is what I used:
1 teaspoon of baking soda.
8 oz of water or juice. I used cranberry-grape juice because it is super sweet and helps hide the salty taste of the baking soda a bit.
All I did is mix the baking soda with the juice or water and drink it. I did this three times a day for three days and my UTI was gone. I would have continued another couple of days if it wasn’t gone, but no more than a week (please take the time to read comment number 4 below for additional information about the risks of using baking soda). I felt an almost instant relief in pain by the end of the first day, and by the end of the third day, my body was back to normal.
Baking soda is an alkaline substance. It helps neutralize the acidity of the urine and helps the body fight the infection.
Always try to prevent first. Drink a lot of water, have clean sex and urine right after, wipe from front to back after using the restroom, and avoid irritating feminine products. I also suggest that you make sure to strengthen your immune system naturally by using essential oils. Read more here: How to Boost Your Immune System With Essential Oils.
However, if you find yourself running to the restroom every fifteen minutes and cursing like a sailor when you are there, try this trick. It solved my problem quickly.
I usually use D-Mannose. But it has not been working this time around. Glad I found this post. Hoping it will work for me!
I hope so too! I hope you feel better soon <3
thanks a lot! i will surely try this remedy mam
I hope it will help!
When I was little and got congested with a bad cold or flu
my Momma would make hot lemonade and put a teaspoon of baking soda in it. I had to drink it while it was still hot but it did help with the congestion. (Precursor for the lemon Alka-seltzer.) Seems like baking soda works for just about everything.
Thanks for the recipe, can’t wait to try it.
Oh, thanks for the tip! I didn’t know abot this but makes sense… It really is just like Alka-Seltzer.
I don’t know where to find “comment number four” as mentioned in the article for advice on cautions to using the baking soda. Would someone pleas. e describe what it said? I did not think it good to use because it might reduce B vitamins out of the body which are water soluble. Is there something else to be cautious of?
The comments are separated into pages to make it easier for the page to load for the reader. Under the comments there will be page number, just move through the pages to find comment number four.
Do you have a recipe called homemade blueberry syrup with honey?
I don’t but I have a strawberry jam recipe here on the blog that is made with just honey (no sugar). You can look this recipe up and use blueberries instead of strawberries.
I’ve have try.
Hello, you are a lifesaver!! Getting a unt after the doctor was closed. I didn’t think I’d make it till the morning. Your remedy really works!! I would suggest putting the baking soda in a little water enhancer then drinking cranberry juice after swallowing the baking soda. My mixture foamed up and over the glass the first and second times. I also took some vitamin c along with some yogurt. I don’t see how people eat that but I did. Finally felt better about 12 at night. Next morning, I couldn’t believe it . No pain and normal pee . THANK YOU!!!
Yay! I’m so happy for you. Thanks for taking the time to write this. Now, you want to prevent! Think about what is it that you need to change to make sure you don’t have a UTI again.
Drinking a lot of water and the use of D-Mannose will definitely help recover from UTI. Thank you for sharing the information.
You are welcome. Seems like a lot of people love the D-Mannose.
Not sure if this works just tried it i hurt will let you know if it works
I hope it works for you and that you feel better soon!
Thanks for your information. Have been plagued with UTI bladder infections all my life, have been using soda for a while it does help, will try your method. Also adding cream of tartar also is good for pain.
I hope you feel better soon! Didn’t know about the cream of tartar, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your information. I will go right on it, cant wait for my results. and I will check oil for immune system too. God Bless my dear.
I hope you’ll feel better really quickly!
Chronic UTI’s can be a sign of a serious health issue, other than your bladder. After having 13 back-to-back bladder infections in the span of 11 months, I found out that I had fibromyalgia. Come to find out, chronic UTI’s are a common symptom of fibromyalgia. I do support natural/homeopathic medicine when western medicine isn’t the answer, BUT I just want to make people aware that there could be an underlying condition for the UTI’s, and to not be so quick to dismiss them as just “chronic”.
You are so right. In fact, I believe that most diseases are a symptom of something that isn’t balanced within. Many times it’s emotional imbalance too that causes the body to get out of balance which we experience through health issues.
My health greatly changed when I started focusing on the whole body instead of fixing one thing. Once I started supporting myself with good vitamins, pure essential oils, exercise, meditation and such, I feel much stronger. I haven’t been sick in years.
Hi all , iv lived with so many UTI’s threwout my life and six years ago I found out that I have Interstitial cystitis of the bladder and having that the bladder Dr said was the reason for so many UTI’s . Hope all is well . God bless you all.
I had surgery 11/2 months ago. At preop time I was told I had a UTI although I didn’t feel any symptoms. I was given an antibiotic to clear it up. Now I have another with all the irritating symptoms. I certainly don’t want another antibiotic, so I tried AZO with no effect on my UTI. I will use this recipe and pray that it will work!!! Thank you ahead of time!!!
I hope it helps you!
