What are some effective Ayurvedic remedies for UTI that really work?

Question

I am so frustrated right now because I've been dealing with recurrent UTIs, and I'm just tired of the antibiotics, u kno? I read a lot about ayurvedic remedies for UTI, and it seems like there’s a whole world of options out there. I tried a couple of things already, like cranberry juice (which was okay), but honestly, I’m still searching for something more effective. My last UTI hit me like a ton of bricks; it started with just a little burning sensation when I urinated, but then it escalated super quickly to back pain and urgency. It felt like I couldn’t even think straight. Some friends suggested I should explore ayurvedic remedies for UTI, but I’m a little lost on where to start. I came across some herbs like Punarnava and Gokshura. Have any of you tried those? Do they really help with symptoms? Also, I heard that drinking an infusion of these might be a good idea. But is there a specific dosage or something? I haven’t been very consistent with health stuff lately because of, you know, life and work and everything, which doesn’t make it easier. I also read somewhere online that proper hydration is key, but I feel like I'm already drinking so much water, and it doesn't seem to be helping. And then there’s the whole dietary changes thing. I mean, what should I even eat or avoid? Is it true that certain foods make it worse? I don’t know, I’m just looking for the right mix of ayurvedic remedies for UTI that coould really help prevent these issues. It's just all a bit overwhelming at the moment. Any tips or your experiences with this would be super helpful! I’m really hoping to handle this the natural way without relying completely on medications. Thx in advance for any insights! Hopefully there's a gentle solution out there that I can incorporate into my daily life soon!
