Curative Properties: Uva Ursi tea consists of the leaves of the bearberry plant (Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi) which is found in the mountainous terrain of Albania. This tea, in addition to its delicious taste, has disinfectant properties in swollen urinary tracts, without having any effect on healthy organs. The bearberry leaves, thanks to heterosides and phytoncides, prevent the development and growth of microorganisms in the urinary tract. In diseases of the urinary system, the tea can be used only when the urine is alkaline. This can be achieved by simultaneously using sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to strengthen the action of the bearberry leaf in cases of bacterial infections.

Warning! The medication must be controlled by a doctor, because in high doses, the leaves of the horseradish can cause glucosuria and damage the liver. It is not recommended to use for a long time, as its high content of tannins can cause constipation.

Preparation: One filter is recommended to be used for one cup of tea. Add freshly boiled water (100 ºC) to the cup, trying not to pour it on top of the filter, to avoid bloating it. Leave for 5-6 minutes and then consume, sweetening with honey or sugar as desired. It can be accompanied by a slice of lemon or orange.
