Natural Treatment for(UTI)Urinary Tract Infection

Introduction

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) is also known as Fearnes syndrome. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), is the second most common type of infection occurring in the body and now- a-days, it is affecting millions of people each year. It involves infection of the kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra. Women are more prone to urinary tract infections as compared to men.

Normally, urine is free of microbes but contains fluids, salts and waste products. The main cause of infections in 90% of the uncomplicated infections is the infection by E.coli bacteria. An infection occurs at the opening of urethra.

Infections

Abnormalities of the urinary tract that hinder the flow of urine set the stage for an infection.
This infection is the second most common reason for the prescriptionof empirical antibiotics and is a major driver of antibiotic usage and antibiotic resistance.
Other conditions such as diabetes, bowel incontinence, reduced intake of fluids, pregnancy, immobility, kidney stones also contribute to urinary tract infection.

What are The Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection?

Symptoms of lower Urinary Tract Infection are:

Inflamed and irritated lining of the urethra
Pain or burning during sensation (dysuria)
Cloudy urine
Sensation of having to urinate urgently
Incomplete voiding

Symptoms of Upper Urinary Tract Infection (Pyelonephritis):

High fever
Shaking chills
Nausea
Vomiting
Pain in the back or side, usually on only one side at waist level

Causes of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) According to Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, UTI is caused due to the imbalance of Pitta dosha. Pitta in Ayurveda symbolises heat or fire. This aggravated Pitta produces heating toxins in the body. These toxins accumulate in the urinary channels and create an imbalance in the infection fighting properties of the urinary system which may lead to the bacterial growth in the system leading to bacterial growth in the system.

Major Factors That Aggravate the Pitta dosha and Contribute the UTIs are:

Drinking alcohol
Suppressing the urge to urinate
Habitually retaining urine for longer duration.
Emotions such as anger, jealousy.
Environmental factors such as fire, chemicals or toxic fumes
Not drinking enough water
Not maintaining personal hygiene.

Moreover, due to intake of hot, oily, spicy, sour, salty and bitter foods aggravate the condition.

There are many chemical drugs like antibiotics that work on the bacteria but these do not work on the root cause and as a result, infection often recurs. According to Ayurveda, these antibiotics further increase Pitta dosha in the body.

On the other hand, Ayurvedic natural remedies help in increasing theimmunity as well as pacify the Pitta dosha in the body and thereby give long-term relief to the patient.
