Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids helps dilute toxins in the urine and flushes them out of your system. Start your day with one litre of normal-temperature water on an empty stomach, and drink another 6-8 glasses throughout the day to prevent the recurrence of the problem.
Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol is a diuretic that can promote dehydration and increase the chances of infection recurrence. If you’re prone to frequent urinary bladder infections, avoid alcohol.
Diet: During the initial symptoms of a bladder infection, avoid eating any protein for about 2 days. Focus on a diet of raw or partially cooked fruits and vegetables. This leads to easy digestion, following which the energy is directed to fight off the infection while detoxifying your body.
Herb Tea: Prepare a homemade tea with lemon rind and cinnamon (dalchini). Boil one teaspoon each of grated lemon rind and cinnamon powder in a litre of water for 5 minutes. Strain the tea and drink it while hot. According to the health expert, this herbal tea may also play a pivotal role in curing the bladder infection.
