Lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) or bladder infections (cystitis) are infections caused by a bacterium, virus, or fungus; the latter two are rare except in hospitalized patients who have catheters in their bladders. Almost 50% of women have a urinary tract infection in their lifetimes. Recurrent UTIs (rUTIs) are more common after menopause. Upper urinary tract infections involve the kidneys and ureters and can lead to dangerous sepsis or infections of the blood stream. The only safe way to treat a lower UTI is with a prescription oral antibiotic. Most infections are cleared with antibiotics in 3-7 days.

If you’re someone who’s interested in herbal benefits, you won’t want to overlook what Ashitaba has to offer you. This plant has been around for many, many years, and is often considered to be one of the top medicinal plants available today. It’s sometimes dubbed the ‘longevity herb’ because it has so many healing qualities and those who use it may help themselves live a longer life.
This plant is also extremely fast-growing. If you break off a leaf one day, plant it that afternoon, typically, by the next morning, you might already be able to see the sprout growing. This means that it can be found in abundance and the chances that it becomes hard to source are really quite low.
