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.
