A friend of mine suggested horsetail (in spanish pronounced: cola de caballo), which is sold as a dried herb for about a dollar at local mexican markets.
When I get UTI they are painful. I've tried so many over the counter remedies and none compared to the fast results from Horsetail.
I boil about have a pot, which will last me about 2 days and it works wonders. Symptoms drastically change within the first day's use and longest I've had to drink the herb was about 3 days.
Some places sell it in pill form, but I prefer the tea since it feels the most effective.
Here is a a quick description from herbwisdom.com of other ailments it can cure.
"Horsetail is an astringent herb and has a diuretic action. It has an affinity for the urinary tract where it can be used to sooth inflammation, haemorrhaging, cystic ulceration, ulcers, cystitis and to treat infections. It is considered a specific remedy in cases of inflammation or benign enlargement of the prostate gland and is also used to quicken the removal of kidney stones.
