Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
This is a living page, not an extensive list, just the remedies I’ve come across so far for this ailment. I’m always learning, so I’ll keep adding as I discover more.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) happens when a pathogenic bacterium invades any part of the urinary tract and turns to infection. Symptoms include an urgent desire to urinate, typically frequent and painful, even after the bladder has been emptied there may be a desire to go again. Urine may have a strong, unpleasant odor and may appear cloudy. Abdominal pain and burning sensation may also be present.
Preventive Measures
Women should always wipe from the front to back after using the restroom.
Do not delay urinating, go when you feel the urge.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, carbonated beverages, coffee, excess chocolate, refined or processed foods, and refined sugars. These can be hard on the urinary tract.
Unsweetened cranberry juice prevents bacteria from adhering to the bladder lining and acidifies the urine which inhibits bacterial growth. Drink 1 quart a day.
Drink plenty of fluids, at least 8 oz every hour: distilled water, celery and parsley juice, watermelon.
Consume cultured foods or take probiotic capsules, two per meal.
Hot bath with essential oils from the list below or a sitz bath.
Diuretic herbs (increase the flow of urine) help cleanse the system, flush the kidneys, and help reduce the urgency to urinate.

Be mindful of the emotion, be specific in where it is attached, it’s okay to feel this way but then it must be let go. Hand it over to the Savior, it is now His to take care of.
Putting blame on others for your problems
Allowing another to irritate you
Being upset at someone of the opposite sex or loved one
