Cranberries are a well-known treatment for UTIs that make it harder for bacteria to thrive. Cranberries both make urine more acidic and introduce a chemical from a class called proanthocyanidins, that makes it harder for bacteria to stick to the bladder and urethra's cells. Although many people use cranberries it to treat UTIs, studies suggest that cranberries are better for prevention than treatment.  Drink 300–600 millilitres (1.3–2.5  c) of cranberry juice daily. The study in question studied Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice cocktail, specifically.  Take cranberry capsules (400 mg twice per day) if you don't like the juice. Lingonberry is a berry in the same family as cranberry. One study suggests that drinking cranberry-lingonberry concentrate reduces the risk of UTIs in women and girls. The subjects in this study drank 7.5 g of cranberry and 1.7 g of lingonberry concentrates mixed in 50 millilitres (0.21  c) of water daily. Uva Ursi (Bearberry) might not be available in your grocery store, but you can find it easily and cheaply online. Though uncommon in general American usage, Native American and European medicine have used it for centuries. Take 250-500 mg of powdered bearberry 3 times per day.  This might give your urine a greenish-brown tint, but this is not harmful. Bearberry acts as a diuretic (rids the body of salt and water), so ask your doctor about using it if you're on other medications. In theory, brewer's yeast “crowds out” the bacteria that cause UTIs, but as of now, there are no reliable clinical trials proving it can treat a UTI. Furthermore, brewer's yeast can interact badly with certain types of medications, so talk to your doctor before considering brewer's yeast. Despite the lack of scientific studies, many people take 3g of brewer's yeast twice per day to treat a UTI.  Consult a doctor before taking brewer's yeast if you're on other medications. It should NOT be taken with a class of medications called MAOIs.  MAOIs include the drugs: Selegiline, Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Rasagiline, Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine Sulfate, Selegiline hydrochloride, Tranylcypromine sulfate, and Rasagiline mesylate. Take each dose with cranberry juice or water. D-mannose is a type of sugar that, unlike the sugar in sweet foods, actually treats UTIs. Experts think it interferes with how bacteria “stick to” and infect cells. Although nobody's yet studied it in the treatment of UTIs, D-mannose has proven effective at preventing recurrent UTIs. Be aware that D-mannose can cause loose stools and bloating. A wide variety of teas and extracts can be used for UTI treatment. The best thing about this method is that you can change up the products—if you get tired of one taste, you can switch to another product. All that matters is that you increase how much of these products you drink on a daily basis. If you buy any of these products in dry form, mix 1 teaspoon with a cup of hot water to make a tea.  Pipsissewa: take 8 to 10 drops in a 6  fl oz (180 mL) glass of water 2 to 3 times per day. Corn silk: take 400 mg twice per day. Buchu: take 500 mg twice per day. Equisetum or Horsetail:Do not take this if you have diabetes. Horsetail can reduce Vitamin B and thiamine levels, so make sure you're taking B-complex vitamins if you use it.
