Summary

This study tests a two-phase plant-based treatment for women who get frequent bladder infections (at least 4 per year). The treatment uses antibacterial essential oils during an infection and medicinal plants long-term to prevent future episodes. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce infections and antibiotic use. The study is small, with only 15 participants, and is a pilot to check if the treatment is practical and worth studying further.
