Arctostaphylos leaf - for cystitis and urinary infections, Uvae Ursi, Bearberry
Bearberry leaf - herb

Uvae Ursi

It is an evergreen shrub called Bear Grape because bears seem to enjoy nibbling on the plant's red berries.

Before the discovery of antibiotics, Arctostaphylos was used as a natural remedy for urinary tract infections.

The herb Arctostaphylos has an antiseptic and diuretic effect. It is used in inflammatory diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. The main indications for use are cystitis, urethritis, kidney pyelitis. Arctostaphylos is a main ingredient in diuretic teas.

The disinfecting effect of Arctostaphylos on the kidneys, and mainly on the bladder and urinary tract, has long been known. In folk medicine, it is used as a disinfectant for various diseases of the kidneys and bladder, as well as for coughs and especially for chronic diarrhea, which is not surprising, since the leaves of the gooseberry contain a lot of tannins that "fix" the intestines.
Herbal preparations have antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and choleretic effects.
Arctostaphylos is a well-known diuretic and anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of diseases of the bladder, urinary tract and urolithiasis. Its antimicrobial properties are related to arbutin and methylarbutin.
Bearberry infusion is used as a diuretic in cardiovascular failure, pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes, as an astringent in digestive disorders and chronic constipation.
Decoction and powder are prescribed for ulcers, purulent wounds and diathesis (in the form of baths).
The tincture is used for diseases of the nervous system, alcoholism, as an analgesic for joint rheumatism and gout.

You can find the herb in loose natural and powdered form, including tea, tinctures, tablets and capsules to take by mouth. Extracts from the plant are also used in products applied to the skin. In herbal medicinal preparations, only the leaves are used, not the fruits.
