Here’s a thing about urinary tract infections, they develop more frequently than any other type of infection, especially in women. If you ever had one, you know exactly what this means. That burning, painful sensation, and the feeling that your insides are gonna fall out while urinating? Believe me, that feeling is very much stressful.
Urinary Tract Infection or UTI is an infection affecting the urinary tract. UTI’s occur when when E. coli bacteria from the colon area invades part of your urinary tract, such as your urethra or bladder. If left untreated, the infection can travel up the ureters and into the kidneys which can damage the kidneys. This is a serious condition and medical help should be sought at once.
What are the signs and symptoms of UTI?
Many people try to treat this common condition with home remedies, such as the apple cider vinegar.
So, how does apple cider vinegar works with UTI?
Apple cider vinegar is abundant with enzymes, potassium and other useful minerals that can prevent the bacteria that cause UTIs from multiplying or growing. Those suffering from UTIs can use apple cider vinegar as a natural antibiotic to treat the infection.
