Uva Ursi

Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), commonly known as bearberry, is a small evergreen shrub whose leaves have been traditionally used in herbal medicine, particularly for urinary tract health. When incorporated into teas or tinctures, Uva Ursi has been used to support urinary tract function and alleviate mild urinary tract infections (UTIs). Its active compound, arbutin, is believed to have antimicrobial properties that may help reduce bacteria in the urine.

Energetically, Uva Ursi is associated with cleansing, protection, and enhancing psychic abilities. In spiritual practices, it is utilized for purification rituals, to ward off negative energies, and to strengthen intuitive powers. Incorporating Uva Ursi into rituals can aid in spiritual cleansing and the enhancement of psychic awareness.

Whether you’re brewing a tea to support urinary health, preparing a tincture for its antimicrobial properties, or incorporating it into spiritual practices for cleansing and protection, dried Uva Ursi leaves are a versatile addition to your herbal collection.
