Constant Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) can become frustrating over time when they occur often. A UTI can range from being a bacterial infection in the urinary tract that if goes unnoticed, can become a severe kidney infection. Although it may be uncomfortable or awkward to talk about, millions of women all over the world suffer from UTIs and are looking for a way to prevent them from occurring. I had a UTI last winter and it was so frustrating since it stopped me from going about my everyday like normal! Keep reading for 5 at home remedies that prevent UTIs!

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER

Stay hydrated! If you feel like you are developing a UTI, start with drinking a bunch of water so you can flush out bacteria and dilute your urine. You’re supposed to drink half of your body weight in ounces every day!

TEA TREE OIL

Putting a few drops of tea tree oil in your bath can help prevent UTIs! When used regularly, Tea Tree oil reduces inflammation and kills the fungus that causes UTIs.

CRANBERRY JUICE

CUT BACK ON CAFFEINE

Caffeine has been known to irritate the bladder and worsen infection symptoms. If you are prone to UTIs, try reducing your caffeine intake by switching out your morning cup of coffee with a non caffeinated herbal tea!

WEAR LOOSE FITTING CLOTHES

Although we all love a good pair of skinny jeans or leggings (even better!) if you are looking to prevent UTIs, you may want to switch up your wardrobe with more loose fitting clothes. Wearing tight clothes can trap moisture and heat, which can make you more likely to have an infection!
