If this is recurring, you should address the root which necessitates a full intake, but for acute situations, try Ba ZhenG Wan (a patent remedy in pill form) with a high dosage 10-15 pills 3x/day until symptoms subside. This formula is for DampHeat pouring downwards - frequent, burning urination.
Be careful to get the right one, Ba Zheng (NOT zhen) Wan
* DO NOT use if pregnant!

Whatever you take, don't forget the cranberry juice, it works great for UTI.

I just started acupuncture treatment for recurring UTI's. I have had them for almost 9 years and in the last few years they come back every few months. They are horrible! Anyway, I have been getting acupuncture treatment for 5 weeks and so far I have had no UTI's. I am also getting chiropractic treatment. I was tired of taking antibiotics constantly and developing yeast infections etc.

The cool thing about acupuncture is that you can't go wrong. It wakes the body up and your body heals itself. Its hard to explain...but I think it is the best thing I have discovered in years. I strongly rec. it!
