It sounds like you're dealing with a recurring urinary tract infection (UTI), and that's undoubtedly frustrating. In Ayurveda, the approach targets the root cause by balancing the body's doshas and improving agni, your digestive fire. Let me offer some practical ats you can take to help ease the symptoms and hopefully prevent future occurrences. First, Ayurvedic texts highlight the importance of both detoxifying the body and soothing inflammation. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is a herb commonly praised for its ability to support urinary health. You can take Gokshura churna mixed with warm water. Ideally, have this 30 minutes before meals twice a day. It's known for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties which might help in relieving symptoms. Another ayurvedic herb worth considering is Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa). Like Gokshura, it's appreciated for its cleansing nature, helping to reduce unnecessary accumulation of fluids and ease up the system. If you can find Punarnava tablets or churnas, you can take it in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach. One crucial lifestyle habit is to maintain proper hydration, but in a balanced way. Too much water can overburden your kidneys, but moderate intake of warm water can improve digestion and cleanse the urinary system gently. Ayurvedic practice also advises drinking coriander seed water. Soak 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds in 2 cups of water overnight, strain it, and drink it next morning on an empty stomach. As for diet, reduce the intake of spicy, sour, and salty foods that can aggravate symptoms. Instead, increase your fiber with more fresh fruits and vegetables. Foods like coconut water are cooling and can soothe the urinary tract. Staying warm is essential too. Cold environments might increase vata, potentially worsening symptoms. Avoid sitting on cold surfaces, and consider applying a warm compress on your lower abdomen to relax the muscles. Lastly, you mentioned cranberry juice. While it is claimed to help prevent UTIs, its effectiveness might vary. If you decide to include it, ensure it is unsweetened, which is more friendly for urinary health. Remember, while these remedies can offer relief, it's always wise to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for guidance tailored to your unique constitution. If your symptoms worsen or persist, seek medical care immediately, especially if you develop severe pain or fever.
