Dysuria Ayurvedic Treatment:
There have been several natural treatments for the problem. Let’s look at the top 7 that have been recommended by experts frequently.
1. Drinking more water:
While more water means frequent urination and thus discomfort, this will help in flushing out toxins from the body, and reduce painful urination.
2. Probiotics:
Dysuria is also caused by infection-causing bacteria and fungi, which can be defeated by introducing friendly bacteria to our bodies.
This can be done by consuming probiotics as supplements, or as a better option, to introduce probiotic-rich foods to our diet, such as curds, buttermilk, kombucha, cottage cheese, green olives, and apple cider vinegar.
3. Clove Oil:
Clove oil not only stops the growth of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, but it also boosts the immune system.
It has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties that fight against fungi and bacteria. However, it should be consumed in moderation, with advice from a physician or doctor.
4. Vitamin C:
It is an immunity booster and helps fight infections. You can eat Vitamin C-rich foods and add supplements to the diet.
Fruits such as oranges and lemons are rich in this nutrient, but in case you want something different, you can always turn to strawberries, kiwi, papaya, guava, pineapple and mango. Foods such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli and kale also have Vitamin C.
5. Cardamom:
This spice has diuretic properties that help flush out toxins and retained water in the body. It can also kill certain strains of bacteria.
To effectively use cardamom in your dysuria treatment, you can mix one teaspoon of cardamom powder with one cup of warm milk and drink it before bed every evening. You can also add raw honey to it for a sweet touch.
6. Ginger:
Ginger helps fight off infections inside the body. It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that help in treating dysuria.
You can eat it raw, drink it as tea, or mix it with honey. You can also mix ginger paste with warm milk, although this should not be taken frequently
7. Cucumber:
Cucumber has cooling properties that reduce body heat and relieve the burning sensation caused by dysuria. You can eat it raw, as part of a salad, or drink it as a juice.
