| Dr. Tori Hudson's UTI Tincture |
| Pipsissewa (Chimaphila umbellata) |
| Buchu (Barosma betulina) |
| Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) |
| Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) |
| Combine 1/4 ounce of each tincture. Take 20 drops every two hours for two days. If symptoms include lots of burning sensations, combine homeopathic liquid dilutions of apis and cantharis, and take 20 drops of this combination in addition to the formula above. An alternate recommendation for symptoms of burning on urination is to crush 2 homeopathic tablets of cantharis 30x between two pieces of paper. Mix this powder into 8 ounces of water. Take 1 teaspoon per dose, until symptoms improve. Homeopathic remedies are available in natural foods stores. |
| Some of the most helpful remedies for UTIs are the simplest: drink a quart a day of an infusion of equal parts of cornsilk and nettles; take 2 droppersfuls of echinacea tincture six times a day; take megadoses of vitamin C; drink cranberry juice or take cranberry capsules; and eat steamed nettle greens. Take warm sitz baths and get plenty of rest. Beginning this treatment at the first sign of a urinary tract infection is essential for a quick recovery. |
