Bearberry-Uva Ursi

Uva Ursi is an evergreen groundcover from the high elevations of Europe and Asia, also known as pinemat manzanita and kinnikinnick. It’s often called bearberry for the bears’ fondness for its fruit. Rich in arbutin, the leaves are used in infusions, extracts, and topical formulas, commonly featured in herbal blends for urinary support. Long-term use is not recommended due to potential liver effects.
