BLADDER INFECTIONS
Natural remedies for chronic bladder infections–
1. Herbal Antibiotic- 1500 mg. 3 x for 2 days, reduce to 1500 mg (3 caps) 2 x daily for 12 more days for a total of 14 days.
2. Vitamin C- 1000 mg. 3 x daily
3. Vitamin E- 400 IU daily with a meal. This helps to reduce scarring in the bladder by hydrating lining tissue
4. Baking Soda- 1 teaspoon in water or tea, 1 x daily as maintenance.
During active bladder infection, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda + 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in 6 oz. of water every 8 hours short term- such as up to 3 days. Baking soda alkalizes the urine. Vinegar helps reduce bladder bacterial growth
5. Drink cranberry juice- this particular berry helps stop bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall and reduces the reoccurrence of bladder infections
6. Massage- apply essential oils over the bladder area directly. For a full body massage use about 25 drops of the oil combination to 1/2 cup of carrier oil. The best oils for bladder infections are;
juniper, eucalyptus, tea tree, and lemon– dilute this oil 1 part essential oil to 1 part carrier; if this irritates the skin, dilute further.
Essential oils can be applied directly every 2-3 hours. Using oils full strength without dilution can be done by applying them to the bottom of the foot. This will not irritate the skin and carry through the body within about 20 minutes.
7. Drink 1/2 gallon daily of water-tea combined. We have a special bladder tea at the store which can be used to make a tea concentrate and consume daily as a remedy. This tea also strengthens function of the bladder overall. We have an alternate tea if the kidneys are also prone to infection; Kidney Tea or drink 3 cups of Nettle Tea each day. Nettle Tea will also help lower blood pressure and clean up the kidneys. If the kidneys are not involved, avoid Nettle Tea since it is a diuretic.
8. Best foods for reducing bladder infections– These foods particular help to reduce inflammation in the bladder and cool down the system;
celery
cucumber
carrot
asparagus
squash
pearl barley
red beans
pomegranate
cranberry
string beans
strawberries

watermelon rind juice

herbs such as; juniper berry, uva ursi, barberry, goldenseal root and leaf, echinacea angustifolia and purpurea, aloe vera juice
garlic- mince and allow to set for 30-60 minutes to release the
allicin then consume or saute with mushrooms and olive oil
aloe vera juice- 2 oz. shot 3 times daily (this also helps relieve constipation which contributes to bladder infections)
9. Garlic-Vinegar Remedy- peel and bruise fresh garlic cloves and fill a pint or quart mason jar. Then fill the jar with organic apple cider vinegar to the neck of the jar. Place a piece of cheese cloth over the mouth of the jar with a rubber band to hold it in place. Allow this to cure in the REFRIGERATOR for 2 week. Each day, add 1 tablespoon of this vinegar infused water along with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to 8 oz. of water and consume 1 time between meals or sometime on an empty stomach.
10. If you consume kombucha, during secondary fermentation, use blueberry and cranberry as your fruit additive.
11. During an active bladder infection, avoid these foods
spicy foods
carbonated beverages
coffee
citrus
fried foods
alcohol
tomatoes (cooked)
fruit juice (except cranberry)
artificial sweeteners
diuretics
12. Begin supplementing medicinal mushrooms; for this issue, cordyceps is a great choice as well as chaga. Taking as little as 1 gram of each, for a total of 2 grams daily, every day, can be a great preventative. This is a powder which can be added to a water bottle and consumed between meals. Simply add the powder and shake the bottle to dissolve. You can also add the 100% cranberry powder to this water for more benefits. Here is a recipe for your daily 1/2 gallon of fluid;
