Cystitus Relief - (Bladder infection)
An infection of the bladder caused by bacteria entering the bladder through the urethra, cystitus is more common in women than men because the female urethra is shorter than the male and is closer to the anus.
Bathing frequently can help prevent this painful problem. Add a few drops of essential oil to the bath such as chamomile or parsley. Although it may be inconvenient, bathing is particularly useful after intercourse. Never have the water too hot in the bath as heat can irritate the bladder.
Massage oils of 3/4 to 1 ounce of soy oil and 5 drops of an essential oil mixed and massaged into the tops of hands and feet, the stomach, lower back and sacral region can give relief and help prevent cystitis.
Diuretic herbal teas are also very useful. Corn silk tea is especially good.

This is not a good idea. Sitting in a bath can cause a bladder infection. Particularly if the water is soapy. Being too clean is a cause of bladder infections because you clean away the good bacteria and the bad can invade. After intercourse always urinate. This can prevent an infection. You should also do this after a bath or swimming in a pool (lake is okay) or sitting in a hot tube. Pools and hot tubs are particularly bad because of the clorine or bromine that is used to keep the water clean. If you are unlucky enough to get a bladder infection Alkaselzer will cure it. I can testify to this and I was born with three functioning kidneys and have alot of experience with bladder infections. Getting to the point where I need to take powerful antibiotics for longer and longer periods I wanted to find a new alternative so I read about this in a magazine and decided to give it a try. It has cured three bladder infections successfully in two weeks with no recurrance which I generally suffer from. Take 3 or 4 doses of Alkaselzer a day for 1 week then start cutting back first 3 times for 2 days then twice a day for two days then once a day for two days and it should be gone.
