A good way to cure a urinary tract infection at home is by taking a sitz bath with vinegar because vinegar changes the pH of the intimate area, combating the proliferation of harmful bacteria in that area.
Drinking tea prepared with herbs such as java, horsetail and goldenrod is also an excellent option, due to their diuretic properties that stimulate urine production.
But although these are great strategies to combat pain and burning when urinating, if these symptoms persist, it is recommended to go to the doctor and undergo a urine test to find out if you really have a urinary infection. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe the use of antibiotics for treatment and, in this case, this herbal tea will be great to complement this treatment.
