Hi-
Bearberry, also known as Uva Ursi, is best known for fighting UTIs (urinary tract infections) but other important applications are worth noting.
Its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and muscle-relaxing properties also make it effective for treating arthritis and joint pain. These properties also aid midwives looking to relax the uterus during difficult birthing processes.
In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), bearberry is recognized for Stopping Bleeding, Promoting Tissue Repair, and Clearing Toxins. Toxins can include microbes, environmental toxins, molds, yeast, and an unhealthy buildup of natural body chemistry caused by chronic stress. Tissue repair can include bladder, kidney, uterine, and muscle rejuvenation.
Bearberry is an important healing herb used by cultures.
