7. Use Herbal Remedies to Relieve Symptoms and Promote Sleep

Herbs offer many benefits for sufferers of OAB. Marshmallow root and cornsilk soothe the urinary system, and while they may be consumed in many forms, I suggest drinking one quart of herbal tea daily, during the daytime.

If you suffer from frequent urinary tract infections, cranberry, blueberry, pipsissewa, buchu and uva ursi are excellent choices for relieving and preventing them. Consult with a qualified practitioner who is skilled about herbal therapies if you suspect that you have a urinary tract infection.

Valerian, hops, linden and passionflower are just a few of the many herbs that promote relaxation and sleep. Herbal remedies are generally very safe and well-tolerated. See which ones work best for you.
