Uva Ursi “Kinnickinnick”

per ounce

The herb also contains tannins that have astringent effects, helping to shrink and tighten mucous membranes in the body. In turn, that helps reduce inflammation and fight infection. Today, uva ursi is sometimes used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) and cystitis (bladder inflammation).  Uva Ursi has an antiseptic chemical called hydroquinone, which is still used to dissolve both kidney and bladder stones today in traditional medicine.
