Bladder
Health - Alternative ways to ease the symptoms of bladder infection
It always makes sense to do what
you can to help your body to heal - Waterfall D-Mannose gets rid
of the E.coli, so stops the infection rather than just easing the
symptoms, but you may have already been damaged by the infection,
or by antibiotic treatments.
We suggest that you take a couple
of these herbal preparations 3 to 4 times a day during an infection,
together with your Waterfall D-Mannose : (Anna has used most of these
and found them to be helpful in treating the symptoms, although
on their own they won't clear up the infection). You may have to
experiment to find out what works best for you. Use as a tea made
from sufficient of herb the in a cup of hot water; or as a tincture.
You can empty the capsules into an ordinary cup of tea also. Use
three per time. Don't go over the top with them, because they are
expensive, and it's not always true that more is better. Some herbs
can be powerful drugs in their own right. They should be used with
caution.
Uva Ursi —
Traditionally used as an antiseptic with soothing properties.
Goldenseal root
— Acts as a powerful natural antibiotic, so may upset your
digestion, but worth a try.
Cleavers (Galium Aparine) —
An old herbalist's remedy for urinary infections.
Marshmallow root (Althea Officinalis)
— Very soothing properties. It works best if you can get it
fresh, (liquidise it with some apple juice) but the dried root also
works. Soak it in cold water several hours, then strain and drink.
Buchu —
Soothing diuretic and antiseptic for the urinary system. A lot of
proprietary 'cures' contain Buchu.
Horsetail (Equisetum Arvense)
— An astringent and mild diuretic with healing properties.
Again, use as a tea. Don't take too much, as it could leave you
feeling sick.
Usnea Lichen
— Soothing and antiseptic, this tea can help ease the pain
and heal a damaged bladder lining.
Corn silk (Zea
Mays) — Soothing, diuretic. It may help you to pass water,
so can be good for damaged kidneys.
