8.Another natural treatment for urinary tract infections is D-mannose.
freestar D-mannose is a molecule that is equivalent to glucose. It is on this list of home remedies for UTI because it can prevent certain microorganisms from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. Recent research published in the World Journal of Urology examined the efficacy of D-mannose powder in preventing intermittent urinary tract contamination.
In the study, 308 women with a history of recurrent UTIs were divided into three groups: one received D-mannose control in water for six months, the second received nitrofurantoin (an antitoxin) daily, and the third received no treatment.
Overall, 98 patients had recurrent UTIs: 15 in the D-mannose group, 21 in the nitrofurantoin group, and 62 in the group that received no treatment.
D-mannose powder substantially decreased the risk of recurrent UTIs, and patients in the D-mannose group had a substantially reduced risk of adverse reactions than patients in the nitrofurantoin group.
