Want to Treat Overactive Bladder Naturally? or are Unable to hold the urge every time you feel the need to go to the bathroom? If yes, you might be having a case of overactive bladder.

Urinary incontinence can be caused by an overactive bladder (OAB), which is a condition triggered by weak pelvic muscles, ageing, infections in the urinary tract or UTI, and degenerative medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease. 

While OAB is curable through exercises, behavioral therapies, and medications, there also exist excellent herbal remedies to treat it naturally. Here are some highly regarded herbs to Treat Overactive Bladder effectively.

Cranberry

UTI is one of the base causes that lead to OAB. Known for treating UTIs traditionally, cranberries are a rich source of antioxidants. A study revealed that regular intake of cranberry powder over a sustained period reduced lower urinary tract symptoms, thus alleviating bladder irritability. Include this super fruit in your diet with Bell Lifestyle’s Bladder Control Tea for Women, and get rid of UTI and OAB.

Capsaicin

Capsaicin is the compound that gives chilli peppers their heat. It acts on the nerves that tell the brain about your urge to go, thus treating your OAB condition in a spicy way. When you take your daily-recommended dosage of this phytochemical, your bladder feels less of an urge and can hold for longer. 

Ganoderma Lucidum

Known as Lingzhi or Reishi mushroom, this is a popular oriental herb known for its energy-enhancing, antiaging effects. One of the underlying conditions of OAB is body changes caused by ageing, and lingzhi can effectively protect the cells from oxidative stress, thus alleviating the conditions that result in urinary incontinence.

Rose Hip Berries 

Rosa canina or dog rose fruits are excellent probiotics with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. These have smooth muscle-relaxing actions on the overactive bladder to cure OAB.

Marshmallow 

A known demulcent that creates a protective barrier within the bladder, marshmallow or Althaea Officinalis can reduce the irritability of the urinary tissues. As a result, the frequency of urination reduces significantly. 

Stinging Nettle 

Stinging nettle or Urtica dioica is a nutrient-rich weed that helps treat OAB effectively, particularly Nocturia or nightly urges. You can include the leaves of stinging nettle in your regular diet or have it in the form of a herbal supplement as in Bell Lifestyle’s Bladder One for Women.

Cornsilk 

Cornsilk or Zea Mays is the golden hairy part of an ear of corn and is traditionally used to treat irritable bladder. Cornsilk tea is known to strengthen and restore the urinary tract mucous membranes resulting in improved incontinence issues.

European Goldenrod 

Also known as woundwort, the aerial parts of European Goldenrod treat UTI conditions. It has anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic properties that can reduce kidney and bladder inflammation. Reduced bladder inflammation means you can hold more urine for more extended periods.

We hope that you will soon get your overactive bladder to function normally with these potent natural remedies. Happy healing!
