There are also other urinary tact herbs, these are just the ones I like. Take 3 to 4 cups per day for 7 days and then decrease for the next week, homeopathics of which there are many. Consult with a homeopath or naturopath who uses homeopathy. For bladder infections I have had excellent results with the following recipe, must be started at the first sign and can be repeated. This probably works because the body is too acidic.
Acidic foods are the starches, sugars and proteins.
The rest are alkaline. In the opposite direction when a person exercises a more acid environment is produced, therefore the more one exercises the more acid type foods are needed to keep the body balanced. As in everything balance is needed and when the body gets out of balance dis-ease begins. It works for me every time. Simmer for 20 minutes.
