Chamomile Tea for Bladder Infection

Bladder infections can be uncomfortable and pricey to combat. Alleviating pain through the natural healing properties of chamomile tea is an inexpensive and healthful approach.

Chamomile Properties

• Chamomile is said to have soothing effects for both external (irritated skin) and internal (antibacterial bodies for infections) conditions.

Hot Compress

• Chamomile can be used as a hot compress. Heat up tea or water with chamomile essential oils in it. Dip an old rag in the mixture and place on stomach or pelvis for comfort. You also can wrap tea bags in an old towel.

Chamomile Tea

• Chamomile tea can be purchased in tea bags at any store or in bulk flowers from a health food store. Steep the tea in hot water for five minutes, add agave to taste and drink once or twice daily.

Bathing

• To alleviate discomfort associated with a bladder or urinary tract infections, heat up bath water and add a few handfuls of chamomile flower buds or a liter of chamomile tea. Soak for at least 20 minutes.

Juice

• Chamomile and cranberry juice is the best combination to soothe your skin and the infection. Combine with a one-to-one ratio and enjoy a few times a day.
