 [ Symptoms ] does adding one tsp baking soda to glass of water help uti go away what home remedy can work [ Disease ] no baking soda will not cure a uti and there are few if any home remedies a long standing home remedy was cranberry juice but recent studies have proved it is not very effective either personally i still recommend it since making the urine more acidic seems to be helpful if you truly have a uti i would recommend that you seek proper medical care utis have a nasty habit of becoming worse often spreading from the bladder to the kidneys
