Discover the Benefits: Homeopathic Cantharis for UTI Relief

Read more to discover the benefits of homeopathic Cantharis and how it can bring relief to those struggling from a UTI.

Urinary tract infections or UTI for short. As women, this is an infection that is encountered by many and dreaded by all. This common female ailment seems to bond us all together, in the worst kind of way, with its aggravating and burning pain.

Thankfully this is not a condition that women or men for that matter, need to suffer through without relief. The homeopathic medicine Cantharis can help our bodies overcome the dreaded UTI for good.

What is Homeopathy?

Before I share all of the details and benefits of Cantharis let’s talk about the basics. Homeopathy is an amazing form of medicine that was discovered over 200 years ago by a German Physician. If you are new to the study of homeopathy I encourage you to read my article introducing you to the Basic Principles of Homeopathy and learn more.

Since personally discovering homeopathy, I have never felt more confident as a wife and mother in caring for my family.

What is Homeopathic Cantharis?

The homeopathic medicine, Cantharis, is the number one remedy known to help with urinary tract infections. This medicine is actually made from an insect. Actually a quite attractive bug in my opinion. The remedy comes from the Iridescent Green Beetle. The beetle contains a substance called cantharidin which is the substance that the homeopathic medicine Cantharis is prepared from.

What is the History of Cantharis?

Cantharidin (the substance that Cantharis is made from) is a blistering agent and has been used historically as an aphrodisiac, in very small amounts. This substance in its crude form is very toxic but when prepared homeopathically provides great healing.

This remedy is a great example to help explain the law of homeopathy which is, “like cures like.” In it’s crude form cantharidin is known to cause burning and blisters, whereas in its homeopathic form it is known to help alleviate these same conditions.

What are the Benefits of Cantharis?

Cantharis is a remedy that is known to help with ailments of the body that involve burning and stinging sensations. Some keywords to remember to associate with this remedy are BURNING and STINGING.

The most common condition that the medicine Cantharis is known to help with is urinary tract infections. There are definitely other conditions that this remedy can help with but UTI’s are known as the most common.

Cantharis helps with inflammation of the mucous membranes, especially those of the urinary tract area. With a UTI these types of symptoms often are present:

• intense burning and stinging
• a constant urge but no progress
• possible blood in the urine
• urination in small amounts
• rapid onset

Like I mentioned earlier, the remedy Cantharis isn’t only for UTI’s. Cantharis can also be used as a headache remedy. The type of headache that this remedy can help alleviate is one that presents itself with the keywords we mentioned above. The sufferer will often experience a burning and stinging sensation in the head.

Cantharis can also be used to help with burns. Some examples are:

• burns to the skin (from the stove top, curling iron, etc.)
• sunburn
• skin irritations such as blisters that itch and burn

The Problem with UTI Antibiotic Resistance

Urinary Tract Infections are a common condition that many women suffer from. Unfortunately an antibiotic prescription is the most common form of treatment for this type of infection.

Antibiotics wreak havoc on our gut microbiome and they usually end up creating other health problems within the body further down the road. When someone is on a dose of antibiotics they will see their original condition “clear” up however in time they will often see another disease appear within the body. The sickness compounds one, on top of the other and you are left in a very diseased state.

The over prescribing of antibiotics is a health situation that we all should be concerned with. Not only for our individual, personal health but also as a society as a whole to help combat the issue of antibiotic resistance. This is a serious problem that we are facing.

There are a plethora of studies that have been done concerning the over prescribing of antibiotics for UTIs. Studies show that women are getting the wrong UTI treatments, they are given the wrong antibiotic and often they were prescribe the medicine for too long of a period. In a peer reviewed study the findings suggest up to 60 percent of antibiotics prescribed in intensive care units are “unnecessary, inappropriate, or suboptimal”.

I believe some of the saddest conclusions to these studies is that many women’s urinary tract infections (1 in 3 of uncomplicated UTIs) are now resistant to a popular combined antibiotic drug. This is sad and not what healthcare should look like in our society.

I want to be clear in saying, antibiotics are a wonderful discovery and can be life saving when needed and necessary. However, in our society they are often over prescribed and often abused.

Homeopathic Cantharis as a Antibiotic Alternative

The good news is that there are other options when it comes to urinary tract infections. Antibiotics are not the only solution. Homeopathic medicine is a wonderful option, especially the remedy Cantharis. If a woman can get ahead of her UTI with the homeopathic medicine Cantharis, there is a strong possibility that an antibiotic won’t be necessary. Often relief can be found by taking homeopathic Cantharis.

Do the research, know your options. You are competent and able! You can take care of yourself and your family.

How I Have Personally Used this Remedy?

Thankfully I have never suffered from a UTI but I have used homeopathic Cantharis to bring relief when I have suffered burns to my skin while cooking. It is literally amazing how quickly this medicine can take the sting of a small burn away.

It is an important and useful remedy to keep stocked in your medicine cabinet!

Does Cantharis Interact With Conventional Medicine?

Homeopathy does not interact with conventional medicine. It can safely be given alongside conventional medication if necessary. It is a gentle and effective form of medicine that works in the body without side effects or interaction with other medications.
