Is there a good urine infection treatment at home? - #16754

I've been having some issues with frequent and painful urination lately, and after going to the doctor, I found out that it's a urine infection. The pain comes and goes, but it's always worse when I drink a lot of water. I’ve also noticed that the color of my urine sometimes gets darker, and there’s a constant urge to go, even when I’ve just emptied my bladder. It’s been going on for about two weeks now, and I’m really tired of all the medications that I’ve been prescribed. The antibiotics the doctor gave me worked for a few days, but now the infection seems to be back, and I’m not sure if it’s even completely gone. I’ve heard a lot about using natural remedies and home treatments for urine infection, and I’ve tried a few things like drinking cranberry juice and water with lemon, but nothing has really helped so far. Some friends of mine have told me about using Ayurvedic remedies, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried any treatments at home to cure a urine infection. I’ve read that Ayurveda has some powerful herbs and natural treatments that can help with urine infections, so I thought I would ask here before going back to the doctor for more antibiotics. I’m not sure where to start. I’ve been feeling so bloated and uncomfortable, and I’d love to try something more natural and gentle instead of more rounds of medicine. I’ve heard that there are herbs like Gokshura, Punarnava, and even some other natural mixtures that help with urinary tract health. But I’m unsure about how to use them and whether I can just treat the urine infection at home with these methods. I would really appreciate it if someone who has dealt with a similar situation could share their experience with using Ayurvedic remedies for urine infection treatment at home. Also, should I just stop drinking those cranberry juices and lemon water that I’ve been using, or is there a better combination of Ayurvedic herbs and home remedies that I can try? I’ve been drinking a lot of water, but it doesn’t seem to help. What steps should I take before I decide to try Ayurvedic treatment for urine infection at home? I really don’t want to go back to the doctor unless I absolutely have to, and I’m hoping there’s an Ayurvedic solution that could help me clear up this infection naturally. Any advice on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated!!
