Is is true you can take one teaspoon of BAKING SODA in water to treat a UTI? Are there any side effects?

Question

Has it worked for anyone?

Answer 1

No... that would probably do the exact opposite, actually. Baking Soda in water can help with indigestion or heartburn because it's an alkalizing product.... to fight a UTI, you would need more acidic urine.

If you are looking for a natural approach to fight a UTI, your best bet would be a good amount of Cranberry, D-Mannose, Juniper Berry, Corn Silk, Uva Ursi, and/or most of the B vitamins. Good luck!

Answer 2

I have eliminated my UTIs by using oregano oil tablets--I haven't used them for a few months and I got a twinge a few weeks ago.  A few doses and it was gone!  

This stuff is great for that and just about any mild infection--used for 5000 years in the mediterranean.  The only side effect is the occasional oregano burp--not so bad!
