Conquer UTIs Naturally with Time-Tested Tibb Methods. Eliminate discomfort, reduce recurrence, and promote urinary health without antibiotics.
Restoring Balance: Tibb, a traditional Islamic medical system, focuses on restoring balance in the body to address the root causes of UTIs.
Reducing Heat and Moisture: Tibb views UTIs as associated with excess heat and moisture. Treatments aim to reduce these qualities, creating a less hospitable environment for bacteria.
Supporting Physis: Tibb treatments work alongside the body's natural healing ability (Physis) to combat infection and promote overall urinary health.
A UTI is an infection that occurs anywhere in the urinary tract, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. However, most UTIs involve the lower part – the bladder and urethra.
The most common cause of UTIs is bacteria entering the urethra and multiplying in the bladder. Women are more susceptible due to a shorter urethra, allowing for easier bacterial access.
UTIs can affect different parts of the urinary tract, each with specific symptoms:
A Tibb-based diet emphasizes cold and dry foods like beef, fish, cauliflower, and mushrooms. Limit cold and moist foods such as carrots, pumpkin, and rice. Minimize hot and moist foods like bread, pasta, and bananas. Avoid aggravating factors like coffee, tea, alcohol, and processed foods. Drink plenty of water (200ml every hour) to flush out bacteria.
Regular exercise, especially swimming, promotes circulation and can be beneficial. Dry thoroughly after exercise and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear.
Consider a 20-minute hot sitz bath with alum powder or apple cider vinegar for detoxification.
Empty your bladder regularly (every 2-3 hours) and ensure thorough cleaning of genital and anal areas. Women should wipe from front to back to prevent bacterial transfer. Urinate before and after sexual intercourse and maintain proper hygiene.
Cranberry juice: Helps prevent bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall. Alkaline drink: Mix ¼ teaspoon baking soda with water and drink once daily during UTI symptoms.
