What is the best treatment for UTIs without antibiotics?

There are plenty of UTI home remedies listed on the internet, but none of them are as consistently effective as antibiotics. UTIs can clear on their own, but they can also lead to serious kidney infections if left untreated, so getting a prescription from a clinician is often better than waiting it out. One effective preventative treatment is d-mannose, a natural sugar that has been shown to help flush bacteria from the bladder, thereby preventing bacteria from taking hold and causing infection. It can be taken before activities known to trigger UTIs (like sex or travel) to keep you clear!
