Acupuncture is a very powerful therapy for UTI

For UTI or urinary tract infection treatment, medical doctors would usually recommend one to three courses of antibiotics. This course of treatment is extremely common that most doctors will not even bother to observe the patient’s urine to see the evidence of bacteria overgrowth. For them, painful and scanty urination equates to fluoroquinolone, cephalosporin and/or penicillin therapy. Occasionally they may be enough to treat the problem; however, these drugs are always inadequate for entirely curing the problem. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, has modalities that don’t entail the almost total eradication of the beneficial bacteria residing in a person’s gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, they are extremely effective than antibiotics as many patients can testify.

One can’t cay that antibiotics are not extremely effective drugs. However, their frequent use stretching for half a century has caused also the mutation of the very bacteria they were trying to kill making these bacteria resistant to a lot of these drugs. Antibiotics produced a side effect of compelling these pathogens to evolve into much more virulent strains which, in turn forced pharmaceutical companies to come up with more powerful types of antibiotics causing these pathogens to evolve into strains that are more resistant and so on and so forth.

Providing a different approach antibiotics are Chinese herbal remedies. For a good reason, Chinese herbalists for over two millennia have not created remedies that are designed to kill the pathogens unlike the modalities of western conventional medicine that control, cut and kill those pathogens. Chinese medicine aims to improve communication, harmony, and balance between the different systems in the body. Systems that are internally balanced, resilient and strong are able to repel pathogenic factors. The strength of Chinese medicine’s comes not so much in battling pathogens, but in helping bring about homeostasis that do not afford the pathogens an environment wherein to thrive.

However, all of these do not imply that Chinese herbal remedies are only effective in resolving chronic longstanding urinary tract infections. There are actually several herbal concoctions that destroy a pathogen, while at the same time help restore balance to the body systems. These remedies are potent in treating acute UTI. These strengthening and harmonizing formulas are much better than taking several courses of antibiotics.

Acupuncture is likewise a very powerful therapy for UTI, especially when it comes to the relief of urinary frequency and burning. Chinese herbs and acupuncture together can provide symptomatic relief for people suffering from chronic urinary tract infections who have been unsuccessfully treated with several courses of antibiotics.
