Botanical Name: Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
Uva ursi is a plant. The leaves are used to make medicine.
Bears are particularly fond of the fruit, which explains its Latin name, "uva ursi,” which means "bear's grape." Most authorities refer to Arctostaphylos uva-ursi as uva ursi.
Uva ursi is used primarily for urinary tract disorders, including infections of the kidney, bladder, and urethra; swelling (inflammation) of the urinary tract; increased urination; painful urination; and urine that contains excess uric acid or other acids. Uva ursi is also used for constipation and a lung condition called bronchitis.
Uva ursi, hops, and peppermint are also used in combination to treat people with compulsive bedwetting and painful urination.
Uva ursi can reduce bacteria in the urine. It can also reduce swelling (inflammation), and have a drying (astringent) effect on the tissues.
