ALSO-
Uva ursi (Scientific name Arctostaphylos uva ursi) [AKA Bearberry] may also be known as bearberry; it is described as an evergreen shrub or plant that is common in so many places in the Northern Hemisphere including the United States. The leaves of the uva ursi are the most commonly used part of the plant; leaves of the uva ursi contain natural compounds that are known to improve the function of the urinary system. Compounds and constituents like tannins, triterpenes, flavonoids and piceosides are just 4 present in the leaves of uva ursi. These compounds are well-known to have natural antibacterial properties which may be effective in infections of the urinary system. Uva ursi used for kidney stones is due to the herb’s natural diuretic properties. It naturally increases the flow of urine so that stones may be easily flushed out of the body.
The softening action of uva ursi is also due to the herb’s natural properties. Large stones made of accumulated minerals and salt deposits are easily softened and broken down; bits of the stone are thus removed through the urine. With these impressive uva ursi benefits, small stones are prevented from growing into large and painful stones. Pain is also managed plus the development of more stones in the future is also hindered.
Uva ursi to treat kidney stones is available in tea form, in capsules and in tablets. Tea is prepared the usual way: a tea bag is placed in a cup of pre boiled water and taken 3 cups per day for maximum effect. Tablets and capsules are taken according to package instructions.
Uva ursi is effective for kidney stones and has very minimal side effects. People who would like to take this herb are cautioned for mild nausea for the initial days of treatment; individuals who are allergic to the components of the herbs should avoid taking uva ursi for kidney stones. This herb is also contraindicated for pregnant women, mothers who breastfeed and for very young children. If you have been diagnosed to have kidney stones, consult your doctor if you would like to use uva ursi as a natural kidney stone treatment.
Uva ursi was actually the main UTI treatment before antibiotics were available. But it has potential for liver/kidney damage if taken in large doses or taken too often. So stick to the instructions of no more than 5x/year, and no longer than 14 days at a time. And drink plenty of water while on it. **That means this is herb is NOT for prevention.**
