Natural Cures: Bladder Infection

Cranberry juice

Posted August 15, 2008

Cranberry juice is one of the most effective home remedies to treat urinary tract infection. Although it was previously thought that cranberry juice worked by making the urine more acidic, recent evidence suggests that proanthocyanins in cranberry prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract, thus it is thought to allow urine to wash away the bacteria. Just be sure the cranberry juice is unsweetened.
