Natural Ways to Prevent and Heal UTIs

Some women even compare the burning, frequency, and stabbing pains around the pelvis caused by invading bacteria to the level of discomfort experienced during labor.
Although doctors usually prescribe antibiotics for UTIs, there are some effective natural options that can both help treat current UTIs and prevent new ones from occurring.
Oregano oil
Oregano oil has incredibly potent antibacterial properties, making it one of the most powerful ways to help treat UTIs. One Polish study from 2012 showed the oil to be effective against 20 different strains of bacteria, including E. Coli—the most common cause of UTIs. For a mild UTI, take 2 drops in water 3 times per day, every day, for no more than a week.
Probiotics
Some studies have suggested that probiotics, specifically lactobacillus, are effective in both prevention and treatment of UTIs. Probiotics work by building up good bacteria, which can then fight off the bad stuff whenever it comes around!
To get your daily dose of probiotics, add foods with live cultures like kefir and Greek yogurt into your diet!
Cranberry
Eating cranberries, drinking cranberry juice, or taking cranberry extract is often recommended to help treat a UTI, as the D-Mannose in the berry prevents bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder and urethra. Many women swear by drinking several glasses of unsweetened cranberry juice a day to help flush out an infection. However, the berry and its juice or extract will probably not prevent one from occurring.
If you choose to drink cranberry juice, make sure it’s 100% juice with no additives/sweeteners, and organic is always best.
Some general habits to begin:
Stay hydrated: If you feel a UTI coming on, it’s important to drink your standard eight glasses of water, and then some. This will help to flush out the bacteria causing your infection.
Pee after sex: Ladies, this is super important! Urinating after sexual activity will help to get rid of any bacteria you may have picked up before it makes its way into the bladder or attaches to the walls of the urethra.
Sleep commando: Again, this is especially important for women. Yeast and bacteria both need a moist, warm environment to grow and spread. Taking off those undies and letting your nether regions air out when you sleep helps to prevent both yeast and bacterial infections.
Cut out bladder irritants: Some “C-foods,” like chocolate, caffeine, carbonation and chili are highly irritating to the bladder. Avoid these if you find yourself getting UTIs frequently. Some people also find citrus highly irritating, but its vitamin C and acidity can also help to flush bad bacteria, so you may have to see what works for you.
Note: Before starting any home treatment, it is highly recommended to consult a health professional you trust.

6 Herbal Teas That Help Pull the Plug on Constipation

Constipation can have many causes, so it can be hard to pinpoint and resolve. The average American today has a 96-hour transit time from the mouth to the other end, meaning they carry four days worth of waste in their colon. This can lead to major discomfort and reabsorption of the toxins that are sitting in the bowels.
Ideally, a healthy colon produces 2-3 bowel movements per day. Getting to this point can be a long process of trial and error to find a good balance of nutrition, movement, hydration and stress relief. Before you get frustrated and reach for over-the-counter drugs, which can have unsavoury side effects, try these helpful herbal teas instead.
Peppermint
Peppermint has long been a traditional remedy for stomach upsets, nausea and vomiting. The main beneficial constituent is menthol, which supports the intestinal muscles to function smoothly and helps dispel gas. Fennel
Fennel is antispasmodic, meaning it helps relax the muscles of the intestines and colon to keep things moving through. Fennel is commonly used for constipation, colic and gas pains. Just crush 1–2 teaspoons of fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle, add to 2 cups of boiled water and allow to steep, covered, for 5–10 minutes.
Chamomile
Chamomile contains tryptophan, which is an effective relaxant. This calms the digestive system and can act as a mild laxative. It’s interesting to note that constipation is often a physiological response to a heightened emotional state. In this way, chamomile’s relaxing properties also have a good chance of remedying constipation indirectly by alleviating stress and anxiety.
Dandelion Root
Dandelion and burdock both stimulate bile release from the liver and gallbladder. This helps carry digestive enzymes into the digestive tract, stimulates peristalsis and promotes the breakdown of fats and oils.
Dandelion is considered more helpful for “flaccid” or “lazy” constipation, which results from weak peristaltic action of the intestinal muscles and colon. These are the muscles that should provide a smooth, rolling squeeze to help waste move along. If this action is weak, dandelion root can be helpful.
On the contrary, if constipation is the “spastic” type resulting from tension and stress, this means the muscles need to be relaxed. Herbs like chamomile and peppermint are more helpful for this condition.
Burdock
Burdock root contains lignans, bitter principles, inulin (resistant starch), mucilage, sulphur and organic acids. This potent mixture helps increase bile secretion from the gallbladder. With this support, the body is better able to digest fatty and oily foods and use them effectively for various biological functions.
If stools are dry and difficult to pass, burdock is a good choice, since breaking down fats will help bring moisture into the stool.
Marshmallow
Marshmallow root is described as “demulcent,” which means it provides lubrication in the colon and calms inflammation. It has been used as a treatment for constipation in traditional medicine for centuries.
Try these potent remedies from nature next time you’re experiencing slowed digestion and toxicity. If nothing else, they will nourish and hydrate the body to resolve constipation on its own, without harmful side effects or creating dependency.
