Five safe, non-toxic remedies to consider for relief from bladder infections (UTIs) and which to choose based on the specific symptoms experienced.
How common is this scenario? The agony of a bladder infection, also called a urinary tract infection (UTI), with its urgency, pain and uncomfortable sensations hits you suddenly without warning. The doctor predictably responds with a prescription for an antibiotic even if you are pregnant!
Is there really no other option?!
Instead of waiting rooms, co-pays and condescending glances, keep the following list of bladder infection remedies handy and choose the one that best matches the totality of your symptoms.
For lack of space, I’ve included only a few bladder infection remedies from which to choose, because they’re the most common. If you don’t get good results, then contact your homeopath who has other bladder infection remedies that might more closely suit you.
Meanwhile, you’re likely to cure yourself without the mallet of drugs that damage your gut and perhaps even your longterm health.
Once you’ve chosen the correct bladder infection remedy based on symptoms that are presenting, use it in the 30th potency every 3-4 hours. If symptoms are severe, the selected remedy may be given every 1-3 hours. Stop when there’s significant improvement. This may take up to 4 doses.
If there’s no change, then consider the next best choice. In either case, once you make your choice, stay with it until it proves incorrect.
Home Bladder Infection Remedies
Cantharis 30: This is the remedy for those who have a strong sense of urgency. Yet, very little is voided upon reaching the bathroom. The sufferer may be compelled to rush to the toilet and may even lose urine on the way.
Sometimes there’s a sense of frenzied desperation that accompanies the infection and the pain may make this symptom worse. Burning pain is also a strong indication for Cantharis and increased sexual interest may be noted.
Berberis 30: When there are burning pains in the urethra which are made better with urination, try this remedy. During urination, there may be pain in the loins and thighs. The urine may have thick mucus or have bright red, mealy sediment; it may also be pale yellow. After urination, there is the feeling that urine remains.
The kidneys might feel sore, bubbling, and burning, while a cutting and burning pain is felt in the bladder. There may also be sticking and violent pains which travel from the kidneys into the bladder and urethra.
Sarsaparilla 30: A bladder infection requiring Sarsaparilla involves pain that is most concentrated at the end of urination. The urine flows in dribbles and sometimes the woman is unable to completely void her bladder unless standing. This remedy is useful for when the pain is burning, but pain may not be the most pressing symptom.
Pulsatilla 30: This is the remedy of choice if the girl leaks urine while coughing, laughing, or sneezing. She’s often a soft, round, and feminine-type who gets weepy when she gets these infections. Nausea and other gastrointestinal issues may also be present, particularly from eating ice cream or other rich, creamy foods. Urination may smart, but it’s nowhere near as painful as the picture presented by the other remedies.
Emotionally Rooted UTI Relief
Staphysagria 30: This remedy has a reputation for aiding women who suffer UTIs after being abused, either physically or emotionally, or after a recent embarrassment. Sometimes there’s a sense of shame that accompanies the symptoms.
So common is Staphysagria in this malady that it ought to be considered if no other remedy seems to fit the “picture” of the symptoms. It’s also the most common choice for infections that arise after sexual activity.
When you first start learning about homeopathy, selecting the correct remedy for yourself or a family member can seem tricky. Homeopathy is person-specific, rather than illness-specific so it requires thoughtfulness and analysis.
But don’t give up. These bladder infection remedies really work!
Once you’ve experienced the thrill of bringing real resolution to an illness, it’s a feeling of accomplishment that you’ll want to experience again.
‘Cause you did it yourself!

Parsley tea and Uva Ursi !
D-mannose is the best
I did childcare for a doctor. Woke up with severe UTI. Doc took urine sample too work with her, called and told me I had it bad. In the meantime I was drinking LOTS of cranberry juice. At lunchtime she took another sample and I was almost back to normal. Fastest cure I’ve ever found.
D-mannose worked for my cat, too…it is fast and no side effects…I agree it is amazing!
Kombucha works for a UTI if you can find some. You can mix it with juice. It got rid of my UTI in 3 days.
I have been in and out of hospitals with BAD UTIS until I discovered D-Mannose. It is AMAZING. The miracle cure – truly.
This one is the best, hands down.

Maybe someone can offer some advice. I have had uti symptoms for over 2 years now but the culture never produces anything. I usually drink apple cider vinegar with baking soda 2x/day for 7 days which takes away the symptoms. But eventually they come back again.
I get lower abdominal pain, terrible low back pain, and I pee like a race horse all day and night! The worst of it all though is the insomnia. When my bladder is flared I sleep for a few hours and wake up and cannot for the life of me go back to sleep. I am a walking zombie every-day with horrendous back pain.
My x-rays and ultrasounds always come back normal. I’ve been to urologists, gyno’s, and my doctor too many times to count-with no answers and no help.
I feel so depressed and sad and sick…..it is torture getting through another day like this.
I read that 30% of bladder infections go undetected because the bacterial colony count is lower then what they look for in the tests. Then they say you are negative even though there is small colonies of bacteria. It needs a special test called the broth method done-which is not available in Canada and only one lab that I know of in the US does it.
I have tried garlic, Uva Ursi, sea salt, Goldenseal. The only thing that brings relief is baking soda and ACV but now I’m wondering if it doesn’t cure it..maybe it only masks it but the infection is still there??
Please please help me!
Have you tried a Functional Medicine Doctor? Youve certainly tried a lot of things, but i dont see D-Mannose on there. My daughter has tried everything and her FM doc put her on this as a DAILY preventative along with probiotics. The years of antibiotics destroy your gut and the healthy bacteria you need to fight it. The DMannose (as I understand it) sort of makes the urinary tract slippery so the bacteria do not adhere and cause infection. I hope your find the answers you need. Its a horrible thing to endure on a regular basis.
I just got told by tricare..who only gave me 6 anti biotic pills for possible urethra stenosis..(I have all the symptoms of bladder or UTI..yet according to tricare (over last 3 years..I get one about once a year)..my urine tests arent saying a lot..Unless the situation is full blown and out of control..they really dont want to be bothered. ANYWAY..was told..no more anti bionics for my situation..Im being forced to do a cystoscope ..and possible streaching of the urethra. TOLD the jerk today..Had that done back in the 80s..stretched my urethra w/o telling me or asking me..and that scope of that area..was painful as well. Military fools dont sedate you..or put you out…Last but not least..because Im post menopausal, have hot flashes..this fool offered up a bunch of anti depressants and/or more blood pressure pills to help with my hot flashes..but refused anymore anti biotics ..I couldnt believe it! Dont mind having you zoned out on all kinds of high dose anti depressants..but lord have mercy..DONT expect any more than a few if any anti biotics for UTIs/Bladder infections, or anything else..STUPID!
i believe you are confusing herbalism or botanicals with homeopathy. you purchased sarsaparilla as an herb and its ability to deal with a UTI is not as great as when it is made homeopathically. you want Sarsaparilla 30c or 30x. the way you know that it is a homeopathic remedy is the number after the name. it does not relate to milligrams. instead, it indicates the number of times it has been diluted. i suggest that you ask the health food store attendant to help you find it in the homeopathy section.
should you be interested in learning more about homeopathy, feel free to visit my website for lots of free information on its efficacy and how it is used.
best of health to you!
I’m not sure what “the 30th potency” is. I picked up some Sarsparilla root (the description fit my symptoms to a t) but they are in 425 mg capsules. How many should I be taking?
