ABSTRACT

Traditional medicine offers treatments against cystitis, urinary tract infection very common in women. Also, there are alternative methods such as herbal medicine, dietary supplements or homeopathy to fight against the symptoms. In this case, we will develop these three methods through the use of bearberry for herbal medicine, Cranberry for dietary supplements, and finally based on extracts of fly blister beetles, the homeopathic treatment. Each product has been studied on a statutory scientific and marketing way: Arkogélules Bearberry of Arkopharma ® for herbal medicines, URIFORM ® as a dietary supplement and Cantharis vesicatoria of Homeopathy Lab. These treatments, known to actions, are not always scientifically proven and are not subject to the same laws. This study will allow us to compare these alternative medicines and make our recommendations.
