In this article, you’ll find the benefits of an antibacterial herb that you can use to prepare a natural healing remedy at home.

But first, let me tell you about this urinary condition that can affect your daily life. 

Why Do You Get UTIs?

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are commonly caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra and multiplying in the bladder. This can be due to various factors, such as poor hygiene, sexual activity, or holding urine for too long.

Women are more prone to UTIs due to their shorter urethra, which allows bacteria to reach the bladder more easily.

Symptoms

If you have a UTI, you might notice pain or a burning sensation when urinating. You might also have to pee a lot, especially during the night. Frequent or intense urge to urinate and nocturia are the main symptoms of UTIs.

Sometimes, it’s hard to completely empty your bladder. Your urine might look cloudy or smell strong. In serious cases, you might even see blood in your pee.

For women, UTIs can cause pelvic pain, and for men, rectal pain.

Other signs of a UTI include feeling tired or shaky. If it gets worse, you might also have fever or chills, nausea, and vomiting.

What Can We Do?

It’s important to know what is your medical condition. So, when you start feeling symptoms, it’s best to see a doctor and get some tests done on your urine.

Once the doctor diagnoses UTI, medicines are recommended, especially antibiotics. But sometimes, we have to take too many medicines. This can have bad side effects. They affect your gut, hurt your liver, and even create drug dependency. They may cause more problems than they solve. That’s the not-so-great side of medicines.

But here’s the good part: there are also natural ways to deal with UTIs. If you change your diet and have a proper daily toilet routine, the healing process might be faster, and feel better sooner.

Also, nature gives us medicinal plants that can reduce the symptoms of UTIs, like urinary frequency, urgency, and pain.

Marigolds Infusion, Top Home Remedy for UTIs

Marigolds (Calendula officinalis) can grow anywhere without worrying about the soil or climate. The plant is especially common in hilly areas with good sun exposure.

Marigolds are used internally or externally, in the preparation of teas or creams. The plants have antifungal, antibacterial, and healing properties, and are used to treat various conditions.

Scientific studies confirm its medicinal properties.

The beneficial effects of marigolds for UTIs are mainly due to the plant’s antibacterial properties. In a study published in IDCases, IN 2019, inhibition of bacterial growth activity was observed in the case of bacteria resistant to some medications that may be one of the causes of UTIs.

Marigold infusion also helps in cystitis and menstrual disorders. 

Infusions, tinctures, or ointments can treat wounds, burns, varicose ulcers, frostbite, eczema, skin ulcers, or insect bites. Its external action is mainly due to its antibacterial and antifungal effects.
