Organic apple cider vinegar is a good diuretic that helps get you flushed out AND helps get rid of the bacteria. Drink a cold glass of distilled water each day and you’ll soon be UTI free and a continuation of this tangy beverage will help prevent a recurrance.
Please remember that the bladder is a muscle that NEEDS proper hydration to function properly. If you don’t drink enough water, your bladder will not fill completely nor empty completely which provides the perfect environment for UTI’s to begin.
