As per Ayurveda, coriander cools down the body as UTI can cause burning sensation while urinating. It also contains phytochemicals that prevent the risk of urinary tract infection.
Urinary tract infection or UTI can happen in any part of the urinary system, such as the kidneys, bladder or the urethra. According to the Centres for Disease Control And Prevention (CDC), UTI happen when bacteria from the skin or rectum- enter the urethra and infect the urinary tract. In women, the risk is higher because the urethras are shorter and closer to the rectum, which further leads to an increase in UTI.
The symptoms of UTI include pain or burning sensation while urinating or frequent urination, feeling the need to urinate despite having an empty bladder, bloody urine or pressure in the lower abdomen. Well, it’s advisable to consult a doctor immediately if you observe any of these signs to begin your medical treatment. Besides medication, there is also a natural way that can offer relief from UTI.
