General Information: Uva Ursi, also known as bearberry, is a small evergreen shrub that grows in various regions across North America, Europe, and Asia. The leaves of the plant are commonly used for medicinal purposes due to their therapeutic properties. It is often used as a natural remedy for urinary tract health.
Medicinal Use: Uva Ursi contains arbutin, a compound that is converted to hydroquinone in the body, known for its antimicrobial properties. It is traditionally used to support urinary tract health, alleviate mild urinary tract infections, and reduce inflammation. The herb is also known for its astringent properties, which can help tone and tighten tissues.
How to Use: To prepare Uva Ursi tea, steep one teaspoon of dried leaves in hot water (not boiling) for 10-15 minutes. Strain and drink the tea in moderation, as excessive consumption may lead to side effects. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before using Uva Ursi, particularly for extended periods or if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
