Uva Ursi Leaf (Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi)

Supports Urinary Tract Health:

• Acts as a natural urinary antiseptic, helping to prevent and soothe infections like UTIs (urinary tract infections).
  

• Its main compound, arbutin, converts in the body to hydroquinone, which has strong antibacterial properties—especially against E. coli, the most common UTI bacteria.
  

• Helps relieve burning, frequent urination, and discomfort in the bladder or urethra.
  

Cleanses the Kidneys & Bladder:

• Works as a gentle diuretic, increasing urine flow and helping the body flush out bacteria and toxins.
  

• Traditionally used to cleanse the kidneys and urinary passages, promoting overall urinary health and reducing fluid retention.
  

Reduces Inflammation:

• Contains tannins and other plant compounds that help soothe and tone inflamed tissues in the bladder and urethra.
  

• Reduces irritation caused by infection or inflammation.

Balances Urinary pH:

• Uva Ursi works best when the urine is slightly alkaline.
  

• An alkaline environment enhances its natural antibacterial action and helps maintain urinary comfort.

Tones & Strengthens Urinary Tissues:

• Its astringent action helps tighten and strengthen the bladder lining, making it helpful for people prone to recurrent infections or bladder weakness.
  

Precautions:

• For short-term use only (5–7 days) — long-term use can irritate the kidneys or liver.
  

• Not recommended for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or children.
  

• Avoid if you have kidney disease or are taking lithium or diuretics.
  

• Works best when avoiding acidic foods and drinks (like citrus, coffee, or vinegar) during use.
  

• Always consult a healthcare professional if you have recurring urinary symptoms.
