Cystitis affects one in two women. If you've experienced it, you know it's far from pleasant. It strikes suddenly, causing intense pain and often leaving you debilitated. Health journalist Rica Etienne told the Huffington Post: "historically there has been very little interest in the woman’s bladder and its pathologies, including cystitis.

It's a recurring nightmare we'd all rather avoid. While no miracle cure exists, proven natural strategies can help prevent it and provide relief when symptoms arise. Here they are.
