Herbal Healing

This blog is dedicated to herbal healing and other natural health remedies. In an attempt to deepen my own knowledge, I will share information on a variety of herbs, focusing largely on easy to find Western plants, as well as methods for preparing herbal medicines and natural beauty treatments. I am not a certified herbalist, licensed cosmetologist, or physician, so please use the information on this blog at your own risk! I've been an aspiring herbalist for several years, and I hope to finally get my certification sometime this year.

I am 4 days into a pretty awful urinary tract infection. I have been drinking lots of cranberry juice and water and taking Azo for pain relief. It has only gotten worse. Today I bought some Uva Ursi supplements and I'm hoping they will do this trick. Am a too far into this though? Do you think I need antibiotics? I am worried about the possibility of a kidney infection. Thank you!

If you are worried about a kidney infection, defininitely see a doctor ASAP.  They can get quite nasty and you don’t want to let it go any further and get worse!
