How Long Does a Natural Remedy For a Urinary Tract Infection Take?
So how long can does it REALLY take to make sure your DONE when using a natural remedy for a urinary tract infection? Well, here it is DAY 6 and I can actually say that I am feeling pretty good. Yep, my last journal entry told you about my stupidity in traveling and not taking care of myself as I know that I should. (Hey at least I know WHY I ended up with a Urinary Tract Infection again!) That at least gives me some comfort, but let me tell you- I have learned my lesson!!! Because traveling back and forth to Phoenix over a weeks time, feeling a few of the symptoms and ‘playing’ with my remedies, rather than taking it seriously, really has made for a humdinger of a Urinary Tract Infection.
So, when you have let it go for as long as I did and you have a raging infection, it can take a few days of intense focus on the natural remedies to really get where you feel good. Generally, if you catch the symptoms quickly, you can use Parsley to get you out of pain and any discomfort…then proceed with the other steps. By the end of day 1, in some cases day 2- you are feeling confident that you got it (similar to using antibiotics, except you also know that you don’t have to now deal with a yeast infection, or the concern that taking too many antibiotics can bring).
But when you toyed with it, like I did- then you really have to add some days of focus. I have had enough of these in the past that I know the tale tale signs of a Urinary Tract Infection. But ‘playing’ with the remedy, rather than hunkering down and focusing for a couple of days…made it so much worse. Now when I say ‘playing’ with the remedy- I mean maybe once or twice a day at the most thinking about it. This time, it took to the end of day 3 before I felt confident that I was going to be OK.
Normally, I have said that if you aren’t feeling like you are over it by the end of day 2, (using a natural remedy for a urinary tract infection) then it is probably something else. Now after this experience, I realize for a horrible Urinary Tract Infection that you have ignored for a few days…it might take an extra day or two. So keep that in mind. You know your body. But if ever you feel more concern, then get to a doctor to rule out any other issues.
The moral of the story is this: When using a natural remedy for a urinary tract infection take care it when you first feel the symptoms!
