Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections are a big problem. Some estimate that as many as 50 million urinary tract infections cases are treated anually in the United States
Mainstream health care providers have relied mainly on antibiotics to treat the urinary track infection. With the bacterial resistance to antibiotics rising now days, many have become interested in a natural herbal remedy and what it has to offer.
There are three types of infection of the Urinary Tract:
1. An infection of the urethra, the canal that transports urine from the bladder and in males also serves as a genital duct.
2. Cystitis is an infection of the urinary bladder, which stores urine.
3. In addition, there is kidney infection, results when the bacteria in the bladder migrate to the kidneys. If bacteria get to the kidney, scarring can occur which over time can be very destructive to its function. Scarred kidneys can contribute to high blood pressure and/or lead to partial or complete failure, depending on the reason
