Homeopathic remedy for cystitis

Cystitis or inflammation of the urinary bladder, is usually caused by some kind of bacteria infection, and though it can affect both sexes and people of all ages, women are somewhat more prone to this condition than men. The most common symptoms are burning and piercing pain and a frequent urge to urinate. There are several types of cystitis and all of them are usually successfully treated with antibiotics. However, homeopathy is a branch of medicine which can also help with this condition. What’s more? It can probably help in a more natural way since the remedies which homeopathy offers are not based on chemical substances but on minerals and herbs. Their purpose is not only to relieve the pain, but to activate the body’s system to fight and heal itself.

There is a wide range of remedies for cystitis, but we will not mention all of them now.
