A urinary tract infection is an infection that begins in the urinary system. The urinary system includes that bladder, kidneys, ureters (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) and the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). Urinary tract infection is the second most common infection after respiratory infection.

Modern research has suggested that cranberry may prevent urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice (Vaccinium macrocarpon or Vacinnium oxycoccus) has been used for more than a century as a home remedy to prevent and treat urinary tract infection. Cranberry was introduced to European settlers by Native Americans who traditionally used these berries to promote normal urinary tract health. Recent evidence suggests that constituents in cranberry called proanthocyanins prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. This is thought to allow urine to wash away the bacteria.

The urinary tract cleansers with cranberry are more effective than cranberry juice along. Urinary tract cleansers help to prevent infection, get rid of small urinary tract inflammations, and clear out unwanted bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is good to drink fluids including unsweetened cranberry juice. Consuming plenty of fluids cleanses body by diluting and flushing out the unwanted substance.

If you are looking for an urinary tract cleanser, try New Chapter’s Urinary Tract Take Care (14 vcaps) with Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). New Chapter mixed cranberry with another esteemed herb, Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) that helps support and restore healthy urinary tract function.

If you suffer from frequent infections, have sinusitis, prostatitis, adult allergies, swollen nodes, chronic tiredness, cellulite, excess weight, then you will  benefit from a lymph cleanse or detox.

Solaray’s Total Cleanse Lymph is one of the latest supplements. I think that taking supplements is a great idea, but I would recommend to do more than that.

Vegetable or fruit juices, pure water, and potassium rich foods such as sea vegetables, green vegetables and the spices cayenne pepper, ginger and horseradish all help to cleanse the lymph on daily bases.

Regular running and jumping helps enormously. Normally, the lymph system holds  6 – 10 liters of fluid. And, it has no pump like the heart and depends on muscle movement and breathing. This is why exercise and deep breathing  are so important. Without it, the lymph fluid can become thickened and clogged up with toxins.  There are various other ways to help stimulate the lymph such as skin brushing, contrast showers and dancing.

Massage of course helps too. Some therapists have trained in a special technique called lymph drainage massage.

Stay healthy,
