Baking soda is used in the kitchen, but also in medicine.
For health purposes, it is most often used as an antacid that helps calm heartburn. However, we can use baking soda to treat urinary infections. The cause of cystitis is most often bacterial, and symptoms include burning during urination, abdominal pain, and cloudy or bloody urine.
If a urinary tract infection is not treated, it can lead to chronic infection and serious health problems.
How to use baking soda to calm the infection?
You can soothe this kind of infection with baking soda. Every morning for seven days, dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda in a deciliter of water and drink it. You can repeat the procedure during the day. You can buy baking soda in a pharmacy.
Consuming baking soda can reduce acidity in the body and make the blood and urine more alkaline. When alkaline urine passes through the bladder, unfavorable conditions are created for the growth of bacteria, and it helps control infections.
However, if the symptoms return, you must consult a doctor. Consuming baking soda can increase sodium levels in the body, so if your diet is based on a low-sodium diet for health reasons, be sure to consult your doctor first, reports Radio Sarajevo.
