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!

Alkaline water or water with a pinch of baking soda in it.
I have read that it’s D-Mannose + cranberry extract that does the trick. Dr. Mercola has an article on this issue.
I trust pure water and aloe vera juice….half and half….1 eight to ten oz glass every 1 hour. I whipped a kidney infection that way.
I cured numerous UTIs with a combination of echinacea, goldenseal, vitamin C, essential oils of oregano, tea tree and blends like spice traders/onguard, and some occasional raw garlic
These are all band aids. Except for Fran Atkinson. I don’t get a bladder infection. Prevention is the key. Need to get to the cause before you can really effect a cure. I wouldn’t take the advice of the people who get them all the time. It’s pretty clear that they’re not doing it right.
Fresh coconut water. Easy for me since I’m in the Philippines 🙂
Prevention in the future… My mom suffered with them for years but when we made a change to cotton undies and showered every day using a shower wand and drinking more water , she never got another one. They were caused by bacterial infections. No tub baths, no bubble baths.
I desperately drank half a huge bottle of cranberry juice in 2 hours once and it cleared up. It was bad too.
I used young living essential oils, took silver and doubled my normal probiotic intake. The 1st day I also tried to drink some baking soda water but that didn’t go down so well. Its also important to drink lots of water even though it hurts to go!
I woke up with a horrible UTI on a Saturday morning about 2 months ago. Not knowing what to do I simply reached for what I consider a “cure all” around my house – Master Tonic (got the recipe from the HHE websight). I simply took about 1oz every couple hours and drank lots of water. It was gone by the end of the day! I keep this stuff made up at all times at my house.
