Forskolin, an extract from the Indian coleus plant, a common herbal
extract available in health food stores, can greatly reduce urinary
tract infections (UTI) and could potentially enhance the ability of
antibiotics to kill the E. Coli bacteria that cause 90 percent of
infections in the bladder states the researchers at Duke University
Medical Center. The researchers used a series of mice studies and
discovered that the bacteria that leads to Urinary Tract Infections
(UTI) may hide in the cells where antibiotics cannot get to them. This
would explain why there is temporary relief, and recurrences. The herb
Forskolin, flushes out hiding colonies of bacteria, making them
susceptible to antibiotic treatment.
