Herbs for UTIs

Hi all!

I am wanting to order the herbs that the Brizmans suggest for UTIs. I don't currently have a UTI but I would like to prepared in the event that I do get one.

I have seen that Matia suggests the following herbs: ear formula, gan mao ling #2, goldenseal, dianthus fomula & chuan xin lian, however the only one I can seem to find on the BomaMed site is ear formula.

I did see a herb called Chuan Xin Lian Pian, is this the same as Chuan Xin Lian? And where can I find gan mao ling #2, dianthus formula and goldenseal?

Thanks in advance!

Emma, I ordered mine recently, I ordered all these:-
I ordered the Chuan Xin Lian Pian assuming it was the one.

You can get the Eclectic institute goldenseal from iherb.

The #2 after the Gan Mao Ling just means its Bomamed own brand.
Hope this helps

Hi Emma,
You're talking to the reigning uti queen of the ICAMA world right now!  (Hope to relinquish my title soon...) Gan Mao Ling on the Bomamed site is the same thing as Gan Mao Ling #2.  I think they used to distinguish but have not for several years now. 
 
If you're ordering from Bomamed anyway, you can get Dianthus and Chuan Xin Lian from them, but their prices are considerably steeper than other places on the web.  Other sites I've used include:
 
Pharmaca.com - for cxl
Naturalnutritionals.com - for dianthus
Chineseherbsdirect.com - for cxl
Maxnature.com - for dianthus - but they are VERY SLOOOW about getting it to you. 
 
I'd also advise getting several bottles of each thing.  Matia has had me on such a high amount of the herbs that I go through a bottle every 4 days.  I ran out right at the beginning of the uti mess because it was over Thanksgiving and the shipping times were all wacky. 
Hope that helps!
