Uva ursi is commonly called bearberry. Used for centuries in folk medicine, the herb is still among the most popular today for relieving kidney and bladder disorders, including infections, inflammation, and crystalized stones.* Uva ursi's diuretic, astringent, and antiseptic properties work well for urinary and renal (kidney) dysfunction. It reduces the accumulation of uric acid, high concentrations of which have been associated with conditions such as swelling and stone formation. Uva ursi also increases blood flow through the kidneys, where impurities and waste products are filtered out of the blood supply.* If the kidneys cannot efficiently process toxins and waste, the accumulation of minerals can build up to create obstructions. Urinary tract infections primarily target the bladder and kidneys. Uva ursi helps to reduce the bacteria causing such infections, and increases urine output to expel waste from the body.*
