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!

Charcoal actually gets rid of it….I take it for 3 days then go back to my doctor ro make sure it is gone and it always is!
Ummm, just remember, if your back starts to hurt, please go to the Dr. I almost died from a kidney infection that started as a UTI.
I havent used homeopathiscs but have used baking soda probiotics and concentrated cranberry
Dmannose powder works for our daughter and everyone we’ve recommended it to.
Actually kombucha gets rid of a UTI. I have gotten rid of a UTI several times with kombucha. Antibiotics are not the answer and some Drs don’t even treat them. You can actually get a worse bug.
I suffered with years of UTI’s and a few kidney infections… tried cranberry, uva ursi, even had to do lots of antibiotics (SO sad about that). However, I found out about D-MANNOSE and I have not had a single infection in over a year and a half! It can come in powder or capsule form. There really are no side effects or dangers, but of course research it for yourself. It is just some form of the sugar from cranberry… but needs more of a basic environment to do Well. Cranberry is acidic, which in some people like me made the problems way worse. You can order it on Amazon. But don’t get one combined with cranberry…make sure it is pure, by itself (Now Foods has it I think).
I agree. Don’t mess with a UTI, go to the doctor. I thought I’d successfully gotten rid of one with natural treatments (cranberry/d-mannose etc.), then it came back with a vengeance and went straight to my kidney. Hello worst pain ever, hospital, three days in bed, two weeks of mega-antibiotics, and three weeks off the gym.
UTIs can be very serious, it’s not like a virus or flu bug, it can do permanent damage. I totally appreciate that lots of people don’t like taking antibiotics (I certainly don’t, and I avoid them whenever possible) but there are times when they are essential, and this is one of them.
…and if your home remedies aren’t working, please see a doctor. Uti’s can ascend and some kidney damage can’t be fixed.
Ground cloves work well too, even when its starting to get very painful! I grind them up and put them in capsules.
Anyone have any other suggestions for this as I’m suffering badly right now! I was gonna try pure cranberry, water pills? Ideas?
