These herbs are well-known as urinary antiseptics, used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), inflammation, and other urological conditions.
If you have chronic UTI, herbs may not be strong enough to solve your problems. See our UTI page for more information. Urinary herbs can work in multiple ways, from soothing the urethral mucosa to killing bacteria.
It’s good to use a combination of herbs to treat a UTI, and you can add in other treatments like reflexology and D-mannose.
If you’re struggling with UTIs, please see an experienced practitioner for guidance.
Typical herbal medicines used to treat urinary tract infections are:
Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon)
Cranberry is a urinary antimicrobial and anti-adhesive herb that may or may not help your symptoms, depending on which bacteria are causing your issues.
Goldenrod (Solidago spp.)
Goldenrod has a handful of effects on the body, including the urinary tract, but may act as a diuretic to assist urinary tract infections.
Bearberry, uva-ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)
Bearberry is a urinary antiseptic. Using herbs to treat a urinary tract infection should be undertaken under the guidance of a trained herbalist, who can help you with your overall health. Your wellness matters when it comes to fighting off infections.
Herbal medicine should not be used in those who are pregnant or breastfeeding unless under the guidance of a qualified, experienced practitioner.
