What can I give her to get rid of this? thanks, Leah Hi Leah, Cranberry Juice. Sitting in the tub in warm water helps soothe things. I wouldn't add too much to the water though. I use cotton balls or something else soft to wipe down there for them and clean the area really well every time she urinates. Soft, gentle wipes. Hope she feels better soon, mjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 A Mild tea of Uva Ursi and Juniper berries works well. I have used this on myself in the past many times. For your 4 year old, you may want to water down a bit as i am not sure of dose for that age. Seems to me i also remember someone saying not to use store bought cranberry juice as it has very high sugar content. Instead they mashed cranberries and added water. You might want to check the posts for the last 2 weeks, there were at least 2 other cases of small children with bladder or UTI.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi Leah: Oops, I did not mean grocery store bought cranberry juice. I meant real juice from cranberries or juice from the Organic store. Regular grocery store juice is usually sugar water and that will promote the infection. If she is not having a lot of pain upon evacuation, I just give lots of juice and distilled water to flush it out. I don't like giving young children very many different things because the body is very resilient. Does she drink milk? That will help promote bacteria growth. All dairy will. Of course, make sure her panties are dry and all cotton even if she has to change them a few times a day. Naturally, have her wipe from front to back. I normally just do the juice, water and yogurt unless it is really painful. Only then, do I step things up. Hope she gets better soon, mjd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Any natural cures for a urinary tract infection ? / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 In the realm of homeopathy, Cantharis is one of the most common cures. Either 200c, 5 pellets, once time in PM, again in AM. If you are not able to locate 200c potency, get the 30c and use 5 pellets twice per day until symptoms clear. Do this in conjuction with taking Cran Caps or drink real (tart) cranberry juice alternating with lots of water. If symptoms persist, see your doctor; you won't want the infection to travel upward to the kidneys.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 , " Diane " <roba wrote: > > Any natural cures for a urinary tract infection ? / > Dandelion leaf and dandelion root plus golden seal and echinacea workd well. You can take all the above in capsules. Drink unsweetened cranberry juice and 8 ounces of water several times a day to flush it out. Wear only cotton underwear and wipe from front to back always. Epsom salts baths will help with pain. Another remedy is usnea and uva ursi. Peace, Thyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 NutriBiotics GSE is an excellent natural antibiotic that works well for UTI's. I prefer it over CS. Drink pure cranberry juice (no added sweetener or juices) sweetened with stevia. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Get a good cranberry juice that is 100% juice. If you’re like me and hate the taste of cranberries, get cran-grape or some other mix that you like. It doesn’t have to be 100% cranberry, but it should be 100% JUICE. Ocean Spray has really good quality out there and I’m sure there’s others, just be sure to read the label. I’ve never used the pills or anything else, but have found good, expedient relief from the juice.

I suppose if it was improving all the time, that would be different, but if the CS hadn't worked, it would have been the walk-in hospital center! I actually think I might make the deadline. I'm feeling definitely better. Well, I'm feeling pretty lousy, but the UTI is better. I'm very impressed & thankful. = Joan PS I'll report tomorrow....it ain't over till somebody or other sings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
