Uva ursi, also known as bearberry, is an herb traditionally used to support urinary tract health. It's particularly known for its potential to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The herb's compounds, including arbutin, are believed to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help combat infections and soothe irritation in the urinary tract. Additionally, uva ursi may act as a diuretic, promoting urine flow and potentially aiding in the removal of bacteria.
