Bearberry (Uva-Ursi): A Powerful Herbal Ally for Urinary Tract Health

Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is a traditional medicinal plant widely used to support urinary tract and bladder health. Native to the northern hemisphere, this evergreen shrub is known for its distinctive leaves, which are the only part used in herbal medicine.

Its name originates from the Greek words arktos (bear) and staphyli (grape), as its berries are favored by bears.

Rich in Arbutin for Natural Antimicrobial Action

Bearberry leaves are especially valued for their high arbutin content (up to 17%). Once metabolized in the body, arbutin converts into hydroquinone, delivering strong antimicrobial and urinary cleansing effects.

Traditionally used for:

• bladder inflammation
• cystitis support
• mild diuretic action
• urinary tract toning

A Natural Urinary Antiseptic

Bearberry is considered a natural urinary antiseptic, particularly effective when:

• urine is alkaline
• recurrent bladder irritation occurs
• gentle, plant-based support is preferred

Its cold-processed leaves preserve the plant’s active compounds without chemical alteration.

Recommended Use & Safety Notes

🔹 Maximum daily dosage: 10 g
🔹 Suggested preparation:
Infuse 2 g of leaves per cup of water, three times daily

Important: Bearberry is a potent herb and should not be used long-term or in excessive doses.

Herbs should always be treated as medicinal substances. Consult your healthcare professional before use.
