10 Tea Recipes to End Urinary Infection

Urinary tract infection is much more common among women than men, and this is scientifically explained: This is because women have a much smaller urethral canal and therefore more exposure to bacteria.
The most common symptoms are burning urination, feeling of urgency and full bladder, dark colored urine and, in the most severe cases, even bloody. If you feel that any of these symptoms are beginning to appear, you can naturally treat with various types of tea, preventing the condition from getting worse and requiring more intense antibiotic treatment.
