Prevents Urinary Tract Infection

The tannins in uva-ursi are great for uterine health. The bearberry plant is considered as one of the best antiseptics for treating urinary infections as it helps reduce the bacteria in the urine. It is helpful in treating urinary tract infection (UTI), urolithiasis, and reducing inflammation in that area.

 

Protects the Immune System

The most powerful chemical compounds, hydroquinones, found in bearberry, act as powerful antibacterial agents that can keep a wide range of diseases away from you. By eliminating harmful agents and foreign substances, bearberries can protect everything from your gut to your skin, acting as a defense against bacteria.

 

Detoxifies the Body

Bearberry is most commonly used as a natural diuretic. Therefore, it helps eliminate excess salts, fats, water, and toxic materials from your body, simultaneously cleansing the bladder and kidneys.

 

Cures Headaches

Bearberry has been used for hundreds of years as a headache reliever. To achieve this particular benefit, you need to smoke the dried leaves of the uva-ursi shrub, which produces a similar effect as the widely known cannabis plant. This narcotic use is one of the more controversial health benefits of bearberry and is looked down upon in many circles, but it has been shown to be an effective headache remedy.

 

Aids in Pregnancy

The active components of bearberry have been directly connected to prevent miscarriages, ensuring the safety of the mother during pregnancy. Furthermore, after the baby is delivered, there is often a significant amount of pain and inflammation. Eating bearberries or drinking the tea has been used to promote a healthy recovery of the mother by eliminating some of the pain and discomfort.

 

Treats Arthritis

Bearberry helps in reducing inflammation and therefore is very suitable for people suffering from rheumatism arthritis and the pain associated with it.

 

Speeds up Healing

A salve can be made from the fruits of the bearberry to form a topical application. This can be directly applied to burns, canker sores, wounds, bruises, or areas of inflammation. The acids of this unique fruit help speed the healing process under the skin, while also reducing inflammation and eliminating pain.

 

Protects the Stomach

Gastrointestinal issues are very critical and they can affect your overall health badly by destroying the natural balance of helpful bacteria in our gut. Bearberries are known to inhibit the activity of harmful bacteria like E. coli, Proteus vulgaris, and a number of Staphylococcus strains of bacteria, helping our systems stave off these common infections.

 

High Blood Pressure

Diuretics are often prescribed to treat high blood pressure. However as they also deplete the body’s potassium, it is advisable to increase your intake of fresh vegetables and bananas. Diuretics are also prescribed for congestive heart failure. However, consultation with a doctor before using uva ursi for these reasons is advisable.

 

Diarrhea

Astringent tannins found in this herb are binding and help relieve diarrhea.

Bearberry is a fruit that belongs to the genus Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. The word uva-ursi means ‘grape of the bear’ owing to the fact that bears are fond of this fruit. It is a low-growing shrub, which can be found in Asia, Europe, and Central and North America.

Uva ursi has a history of medicinal use dating back to the 2nd century.

Uva ursi is a trailing evergreen shrub that produces red berries and flourishes in alpine forests in many regions, including North America, Europe, the Iberian Peninsula, Siberia, and the Himalayas. It grows slowly but succeeds in places where other plants cannot, such as the walls of canyons. It has short, creeping, reddish-brown branches and pink or white bell-shaped flowers that bloom in the summer, followed by clusters of berries. Bears are said to be fond of the shiny, bright red or pink fruit, which is edible but tastes sour.

Common Names: kinnikinnick, pinemat manzanita, crowberry, and beargrape.

Preparation & Dosage

Preparation & Dosage

Dosage: 15 drops, 2-3 times a day.

Precaution:

  • Uva ursi may act as a diuretic in the body, affecting levels of certain drugs (such as lithium) in the blood stream. Talk with your doctor before taking uva ursi.
  • If you take iron supplements, take them at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after uva ursi.
  • Uva ursi is safe for short-term use in adults, but it may cause nausea, vomiting, and urine discoloration in some people. High-dose and long-term use (more than two to four weeks) are strongly discouraged because they have been associated with liver damage and eye problems
