Background and Use
Prior to the development of antibiotics, the leaves of Uva Ursi were listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia as an antiseptic for the traditional treatment of urinary tract infections. Currently the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP) recommends Uva Ursi for minor cases of cystitis when antibiotics are not required. The German Commission E approves it for inflammatory conditions of the lower urinary tract.
Precautions
Contraindicated in kidney disorders. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Discontinue use if unusual symptoms occur. Individuals with gastric sensitivity may experience queasiness and vomiting due to tannin content. Recommended for short-term use only. Not recommended to be taken along with any substance that causes acidic urine (citrus juices, cranberry, etc.).
