Uva ursi (Arctostaphylos uva ursi), also known as bearberry (because bears like eating the fruit), has been used medicinally since the 2nd century. Native Americans used it as a remedy for urinary tract infections. In fact, until the discovery of sulfa drugs and antibiotics, uva ursi was a common treatment for bladder-related infections.

Through modern day scientific research in test tubes and animals, researchers have discovered that uva ursi’s ability to fight infection are due to several chemicals, including arbutin and hydroquinone.  It also contains tannins that have astringent effects, helping to shrink and tighten mucous membranes in the body.  In turn, that helps reduce inflammation and fight infection.
