Remedies for stress urinary incontinence

Remedies for stress urinary incontinence: Professor Akim Bouterra's advice, complemented by what research says (kidneys and urinary tract), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

For stress urinary incontinence, there are three ingredients recognized for their synergistic effect and their ability to limit urinary tract infections:

First, there is green propolis, from the hive's pharmacy, which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties.

Cranberry is also known for treating urinary problems, and when combined with bearberry it becomes even more effective.

In the past, Prophetic Medicine made great use of costus, which today can be found in capsule form.

In addition, fennel seed and cherry stem herbal teas will be beneficial. Finally, a three-month course of zinc will be very beneficial for urinary comfort.

What the science says: kidneys and urinary tract

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context only — studies address material causes, healing belongs to Allah.

Kidneys and urinary tract

Cranberry reduces the risk of recurrence of urinary tract infections in some people, according to the Cochrane review (Explore, 2024); for kidney stones, abundant hydration and diet (citrate, less salt and animal protein) are the best-supported measures (Minerva Urol Nephrol, 2025) (Arch Ital Urol Androl, 2015). Orthosiphon, cherry stems, and birch have a draining effect. Precaution: a urinary tract infection with fever or lower back pain is pyelonephritis — antibiotics are essential; in case of kidney failure, do not take diuretic plants or magnesium/potassium without medical advice.
