  Mix baking soda into 8 oz. of water and drink it entirely. Baking soda can help balance out the acid level in your urine that is causing a bladder infection.

• 2

  Drink an 8 oz. glass of water every hour on the hour for eight hours. A constant flow of water will flush out bacteria cells, dilute acids in your urine and keep you hydrated.

• 3

  Carry a container of cranberry juice with you and drink it throughout the day. Cranberry juice washes out toxins, keeps you hydrated and helps to clean out bacteria in your urinary tract.
