How can Ayurveda help with urinary tract infection treatment? - #21846

I am dealing with a really annoying urinary tract infection (UTI) for the past couple of weeks now. It started with just this weird burning sensation when I pee, and I thought it was just a little irritation or something. But the feeling just got worse and worse. I was like, oh no, not this again! I've had UTIs before, but this one feels different somehow. I’ve been to the doc, had all the tests done, and they just gave me antibiotics, but I’m not really happy about taking those. I'm kind of worried about the side effects, ya know? So I was looking into natural options and I came across a lot of info about ayurveda for urinary tract infection. Some people are saying that Ayurvedic remedies can be really effective and way safer than antibiotics. But honestly, I don’t really know much about it and I'm a bit skeptical too. Is it true that ayurveda for urinary tract infection can actually help or is it just another one of those trends that floats around? I’ve read things like using certain herbs or dietary changes but I have no clue where to start. Should I be drinking some kind of special tea or is there like an oil I should be using? I'm also curious if there’s certain foods that might help instead of trigger more issues. I mean, I’m open to anything but I just really want to avoid those medication and its after effects. If anyone here has tried ayurveda for urinary tract infection, please share your experiences and thoughts! What worked for you? What didn't? I just don't want to be stuck feeling like this any longer! It’s uncomfortable ugh. I would be really grateful to hear any advice or recommendations about which Ayurvedic treatments or practices might actually work? Thanks in advance everyone! Really hoping I can find something to ease this situation without jumping straight to more antibiotics again!
