#Diuretics

[furryomofan]

I've recently switched from coffee to tea! It's better for my anxiety, and helps me modulate my caffeine intake better.

On the other hand, drinking more tea definitely makes me need to tinkle a lot more 😖. I try to hold it so I don't look like the type to need the potty every hour, but holding makes me so horny I'm gonna die x_x

I'm currently just a 6/10, but I can feel it filling fast. I can't do a real hold (just cuz I SUPER cannot affort to leak here!) but my bladder is already pulsing and sending pleasurable, full buzz all over. I wish I could touch me 🥺🥵

Hey y'all! Slightly weird question for you, but trying to google it is mostly getting me weird health blogs of dubious accuracy: Do you know of any foods or drinks that are natural diuretics*? I was reminded (again lol) last night that asparagus is one, and if one exists I am sure there must be more than one for me to either avoid or take extra salt pills when eating**. This is kind of like when I tried searching for high-salt foods and couldn't get useful results until I searched for "foods to avoid if you need to lower sodium for heart health", but I am not sure what conditions would make people want a diuretic so idk how to word the inverse google search, you know? *I think most people probably wouldn't get much a noticeable effect from foods with diuretic properties, humans are (for the most part) pretty good at maintaining homeostasis, but I'm looking for the ones that (like salt) work on the outliers **I have POTS and salt wasting syndrome, and take a medication specifically to help me retain water that's pretty much the opposite of a diuretic. I can manage eating natural diuretics if I know what they are so I can add extra salt and eat in moderation, I just don't know what they are

9 times out of 10 when a plant was "historically recognised for its healing properties!" the medical properties in question are "piss and shit and puke Real hard. Real fast. Real thorough."

Was your resolution to drink more water this year? Are you kinda struggling? May I suggest: ✨Hibiscus tea bags✨

Your eyes see "aw yiss motha fuckin juice" and your body is like "blessed H20 in disguise? Sign me the fuck up." No caffeine so you don't have to worry about being Wired just before bed.

"But tea tastes bad!" you might say. So put a pump of simple syrup in! Who's going to stop you? A sugar cop? They bitch and moan about whole fruit what the fuck do they know about anything. A tablespoon of simple syrup (that's two pumps from Starbucks for reference but definitely make your own) has thirty-six calories. You burn that in seven minutes of breathing you'll be fine.

One of my favorite things to do is just fill my 32oz water bottle up and drop a teabag in it. (I do have an embarrassing "shakey shakey tea I makey" dance but that's because I've decided I love joy.) Sure it tastes different throughout the day as it disperses into different amounts of water but it doesn't get bitter if you use it too long like some teabags.

Now obviously this is not going to work for everyone. But it might work for someone which is why I'm sharing it. Sometimes drinking more water is hard, so you have to want to do it! If this is just a step on your hydration journey to get in the habit of drinking more before making a switch to plain water that's fine too! Change doesn't have to be miserable.

👉🏼👈🏼 what diuretic should I drink to fill up my bladder

Tea!!

That's my go-to. Coffee is also a decent one or any beverage with caffeine in it. Soda can be good too, but I personally don't like the carbonation.

*sorry for the late reply!

Hey all!

I really wanted to sit down and write this out, just in case it might help anyone. Since so many people were so kind to help with suggestions when I was suffering with that UTI, I found a couple of other options that may be beneficial to some people.

It might be a little long, so I'll put it under a read more.

I'm still not 100% back to normal, but I've done repeated urine tests at the doctor, and there isn't even an infection anymore. It seems to just be a really stubborn inflammation, and it was recently getting to a point where I was really just mentally and emotionally wiped from it. It was never super bad, but obviously if you feel uncomfortable non-stop for weeks it really gets to you eventually, and last Saturday I was in tears again just from the frustration, especially since we're due to go away in a few weeks and I just want it to be gone. Nothing I got from the pharmacy did anything.

Now, my boyfriend's mother, while not a doctor or anything, is very good with researching natural remedies due to her own ongoing ailments and reluctance to rely too much on medications. A lot of what she knows is very 'old-wives-tale' style knowledge, but especially when it comes to more natural options, she knows a lot about the history of the plant and how old cultures would have used them.

Please keep in mind that everything I'm suggesting may not suit you. These have helped me immensely in the last couple of days, but they certainly haven't cured me. They may also be things you're allergic to, or if you take medications, may react with them. So please take everything I say with a pinch of salt, and common sense.

So these are what she suggested:

The three main things I've been taking are dandelion (flower and leaves), plantain herb (leaves) and nettle (I just bought this in tea bags).

I brew a tea mixture from them, and they've helped so much already. Apparently they're all diuretics, and help with urinary support and health. But they've given me a lot of relief considering they're all just plants you probably already have everywhere in your garden.

Both dandelion and nettle can be bought as regular tea bags, so that might be easier, especially since there's special preparation for nettles due to their sting.

This might be more common knowledge that I think, but it's certainly something I didn't know about, and I definitely didn't realise how potent they are. And since the majority of plant-related uti advice I think most people hear about it 'drink cranberry stuff', there's not as much emphasis on these.

ALSO. I just started this today as well, but this is something I did know about - eating raw garlic. I've just been chopping a few cloves on some buttered bread, and it's delicious. Garlic is also pretty brilliant for a lot of things, so even just in general I would recommend eating it like that. Or with some honey, whatever gets it down for you if you're able to eat it.

I'd really really recommend if anyone suffers from bladder issues at all, please do some research on this, because even in a matter of like, two days, it's really boosted my mood and general wellbeing.

Obviously I'm still going to the doctor. That's not ruled out, and I'd never tell anyone to rely only on plant remedies when medication could do more. But these have just helped a lot in the meantime.

Thanks to all of you who helped me before, I just wanted to add something back! c:

I think it’s so funny that the lil info sheet that comes with my newest medication basically says ‘you need to take two of these pills a day but NOT at the same time or you will PISS your brains out and then DIE of thirst’
