Some types of tea may be beneficial for preventing or treating urinary tract infections (UTIs), but research on this topic is limited.
While more research is needed, some teas have properties that could potentially help with UTIs:
- Green Tea: Green tea is a popular natural remedy and contains compounds that may help.
- Herbal Teas: Certain herbal teas might also provide relief or preventative benefits.
The reference material notes that, "Although research on their effectiveness is limited, D-mannose, uva ursi, cranberry, garlic, and green tea are popular choices for natural UTI treatment and prevention. Certain herbal teas may also help."
It is important to remember that tea should not be used as the sole treatment for a UTI. Consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
