Introduction
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and often uncomfortable, but nature provides us with powerful tools to fight them—one of the most effective being garlic. Long celebrated for its culinary uses, garlic is also a potent natural remedy, especially for infections. With its strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, garlic supports urinary health and can help reduce the frequency and severity of UTIs.
Why garlic works
The key compound in garlic is allicin, which has powerful antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal effects. Allicin helps eliminate harmful bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli), the most frequent cause of UTIs. Unlike synthetic antibiotics, garlic targets harmful pathogens without disrupting the natural balance of good bacteria in the body.
Benefits of garlic for urinary health
