Uva ursi, also known as bearberry, has been traditionally used for its potential healing properties, particularly for urinary tract health. Some of its benefits include:

  • Urinary Tract Support: Uva ursi contains compounds like arbutin, which may help fight bacteria in the urinary tract and reduce inflammation.

  • Diuretic Effects: It can promote urine production, potentially helping flush out toxins and bacteria.

  • Skin Health: Due to its hydroquinone content, it has been used in skin-lightening treatments, though research on its effectiveness is limited.

  • Anti-inflammatory Properties: Some studies suggest it may help reduce swelling and inflammation.

However, uva ursi should be used with caution, as excessive consumption can lead to side effects like nausea, vomiting, and even liver damage in high doses
