How to cure a UTI: 1-2-3-4
(4) Optional vaginal douches

The following therapeutic douches can correct bacterial imbalance in the vagina and anterior (lower) urethra

Do not douche if you are pregnant.

•    Apple Cider Vinegar

ACV

•    Plain Yogurt Douche.   Yogurt must be plain and contain active lactobacillus cultures; may be diluted with water. Another idea is to freeze some yogurt in an empty tampon tube for insertion into vagina, or simply soak a tampon in yogurt for insertion. Instead of yogurt you can mix some probiotic lactobacillus powder with water to make a thin paste to use as a douche

Note: Routine douching is  a bad idea:

-    Destroys beneficial vaginal flora.    A healthy vagina contains beneficial bacteria and other organisms called the vaginal flora. The normal acidity of the vagina controls the number and type of bacteria. Douching can change this delicate balance, making a woman more prone to vaginal infections;

-    Douching can also spread existing vaginal infections.   Up into the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries;

-    Chemicals in fragranced douches irritate vaginal lining and increase susceptibility to infection
