Women's Urinary Tract Infections: Stop the Suffering!

Although Växa’s natural methods and homeopathic solutions can prevent and relieve urinary tract infections (bladder infections, “cystitis”), we shouldn’t allow urinary tract infections to linger as they could spread to the kidneys (pyelonephritis), and we don’t want to mess with our kidneys.

Prescription antibiotics may be needed for bacteria-caused urinary tract infections if there are signs that infection has spread to the kidneys:

  • Persistent stabbing pains or pounding aches in lower back
  • Fever or sweats
  • Sudden fatigue or exhaustion
If this happens during urinary tract infections, take antibiotics. Finish prescription as directed.

Preventing Urinary Tract Infections:

1. Avoid Bacteria in the Urinary Tract and Vaginal Area:

  • When urinating, be sure to thoroughly finish. Sometimes in a hurry, women tend to clench some back.
  • Never “hold in” for a long time.
  • Wipe from front to back after bowel movements, not toward the vagina. E. coli from feces can easily enter.
  • Wear comfortable-fitting 100% cotton underwear. Avoid snug nylons or silks, tights and panty hose whenever possible - they build heat and moisture which invites bacteria. This goes for tight jeans too!
  • If sexually active:
    • Before and after intercourse, urinate and wash well.
    • Avoid birth control spermicides with “non-oxynol 9” in some diaphragm jellies, condoms and sponges – it irritates the bladder.
2. Build Immunities with Daily Nutrition and Supplements:
  • Take daily vitamins, minerals and other supplements. See the “Women’s Daily Needs” page
  • Drink lots of water. At LEAST eight 8 oz. glasses per day.
  • Limit carbonated sodas, coffee and tea (carbonation and acid are both harmful).
  • Drink some sugar-free cranberry juice each week or take cranberry supplements (keeps bacteria away from bladder walls).
  • Eat a sugar-free diet. Every time they’re eaten, sugary foods lower immunity about 1%, which can be cumulative!
3. Guard Your Kidneys, Bladder and pH Balance (acidic/alkaline content):
  • Douche seldom. It destroys good vaginal bacteria and messes with your pH balance. This encourages urinary tract infections.
  • Test pH balance with Växa’s pH Test Strips, and re-balance pH with our Buffer pH+.
  • Take Växa’s Kidney Formula which protects the entire urinary system.

Resolving Simple Urinary Tract Infections Naturally:

  • For intense burning, drug store over-the-counter remedies work very quickly (but will not cure the infection).
  • Restore pH balance with Buffer-pH+.
  • Keep using Växa’s Kidney Formula. It contains the herb Uva Ursi, famous for natural antiseptic properties.
  • Drink as much water as possible every hour, urinating frequently.
  • Refrain completely from carbonated sodas, coffee, tea, sugars.
  • Take Växa Re-Flora+ “probiotics” to increase good bacteria.
  • Take cranberry supplements and the herbs garlic and pau d’arco (they’re naturally antibiotic and anti-inflammatory) in tablets or capsules - at least three times the recommended dosage spread throughout the day during an infection.

If symptoms aren’t eliminated within 72 hours, or they return soon, please see your doctor. Prescription treatment may be necessary.

Taking antibiotics for Urinary Tract Infections or any other infection may result in yeast infection. See “Women and Recurring Yeast Infections”.
