Uva Ursi
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
MEDICINAL: Uva Ursi strengthens and tones the urinary tract. It is especially useful for kidney
infections, bladder infections, and inflammatory disease of the urinary tract. It is used as a diabetes
remedy for excessive sugar in the blood. It is used for postpartum women to return the womb to its
natural size, as well as to prevent infection of the womb after childbirth. It should not be used by
pregnant women.
RELIGIOUS: Add to sachets to increase psychic powers.
GROWING: Uva Ursi rarely grows more than a few inches tall. It is best propogated from cuttings. It
takes an unusually long time to root, so consider instead buying small plants from nurseries. It does
poorly in rich soil, as it prefers poor soils in full sun. Once established, it spreads and becomes an
attractive, hardy ground cover, surviving temperatures of -50.
