There are several popular homeopathic remedies that can be natural cures for urinary tract infections. Although homeopathic remedies are very safe, they are also very specific. You will need to observe your symptoms carefully to know which is right for you.

* Cantharis 30 – For when you have to go really bad, but not much comes out. It can be acute and painful.

* Berberis 30 – Treats more intense burning sensations with thick or darker urine. Pain may be felt from kidneys to bladder and urethra.

* Sarsaparilla 30 – This remedy is for pain that is more intense at the end of urination. There may be some dribbles but it is difficult to completely empty bladder.

* Pulsatilla 30 – For those who don’t experience much pain with infection, but will probably leak a little bit due to sneezing, laughing or coughing.

Be sure to consult with your doctor if this is your first infection or if you have blood in your urine or severe abdominal pain or nausea. However, with just a few precautions and some safe, simple home remedies, you can keep the pain and urgency of urinary tract infections from recurring.
