Parsley Tea for UTI — A Safe Herbal Remedy to Save Your Kidneys

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common infection, especially in women.

The urinary tract consists of the two kidneys which form urine, the two ureters that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, the urinary bladder which stores the urine, and the urethra through which urine exits the body.

The entire urinary system is sterile under normal conditions. Any bacteria or fungi in any part of the urinary system is called a UTI.

The most common UTIs are infections of the bladder, called cystitis. (1)

Most bacteria causing UTI are those that live in the intestines. They are present in huge numbers around the anus.

Cystitis is the most common type of UTI. Women are more likely to have it. The urethral opening is near the anus, and the urethra itself is short in women. (2) 

However, sometimes bacteria can reach the kidneys. This condition is called pyelonephritis and is very dangerous.

Infections of the kidneys can damage them irreversibly. Each such UTI can cause scarring of the kidney.

Such scaring progresses to kidney failure and hypertension (high blood pressure). Pyelonephritis must be diagnosed and treated urgently.
