Natural Remedies for bladder infection

wachit14 @wachit14 (3595) • United States 25 Apr 07

Does anyone have any natural remedies for a bladder infection? I hate for my daughter to keep taking anti-biotics since it kills off the good bactiera. Any ideas for natural remedies that really work would be appreciated. Thanks!
