How to Treat a Bladder Infection Naturally

A bladder infection is a major inconvenience and usually takes time to treat but you can cure it naturally. Often times prescription drugs can't kill the bacteria that causes a bladder infection, especially if you've used the drug frequently for prior bladder infections. Using these drugs frequently can lead to the bacteria becoming antibiotic resistant, which is why it's always better to try and use natural cures first. Below are the more effective natural cures that can be used to treat a bladder infection.

Instructions

1. Drink more water, this is the most important change in your diet to make. Water helps to flush out the bladder and help get rid of the infection. You should also try to drink lots of cranberry juice and/or blueberry juice. Drink more natural and organic versions, avoiding juices that are sweetened with sugar.

2. Take Magnesium Citrate in supplemental form daily. Magnesium Citrate creates alkaline urine, which makes it harder for E. coli to survive. Take about 300 milligrams a day until the bladder infection has been cleared.

3. Take Zinc in supplemental form daily. Zinc strengthens the immune system, which helps your body to fight off the bladder infection. Take about 30 milligrams a day while trying to cure the bladder infection.
