Uva Ursi Leaf Powder Cert. Organic (Arctostaphylos uva ursi) 1 lb: C

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract, tincture and douche. Kinnikinnick, Bearberry. Traditionally smoked by many Northwest Indians as an inebriant. Bearberry is also traditionally used as a medicinal tea, to treat inflammations of the urinary tract, especially cystitis. Uva ursi contains arbutin, an effective urinary antiseptic. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Uva ursi leaf for 'Inflammatory disorders of the efferent urinary tract.' 'Preparations made from bearberries act antibacterially in vitro against Proteus vulgaris, E. coli, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aerginosa, Friedländer's pneumonia, Enterococcus faecalis, and Streptococcus strains, as well as against Candida albicans. The antimicrobial effect is associated with the aglycone hydroquinone released from arbutin (transport form) or arbutin waste products in the alkaline urine. A methanol extract of the drug (50 percent) is said to have an inhibiting effect on tyrosinase activity. The forming of melanin from DOPA using tyrosinase as well as from DOPA-CHROM through auto-oxidation is also said to be inhibited by the drug.' Contraindications: Pregnancy, lactation, children under 12. Side Effects: Nausea and vomiting may occur in persons with sensitive stomachs. The occurrence of arbutin/hydroquinone in the breast milk has not been researched. The drug, therefore, should not be administered during lactation. 'Single dose: 3 g drug to 150 ml water as an infusion or cold maceration or 100 - 210 mg hydroquinone derivatives, calculated as water-free arbutin. Daily dose: 3 g drug to 150 ml water as an infusion or cold maceration up to 4 times a day or 400 - 840 mg hydroquinone derivatives calculated as water-free arbutin. Mode of Administration: Crushed drug. Drug powder for infusions or cold macerations; extracts and solid forms for oral administration. Medication containing arbutin should not be taken for longer than a week or more than five times a year without consulting a physician.' In Germany, uva ursi leaf is licensed as a standard medicinal tea, used as a single herb and a component of many bladder and kidney teas. The German Standard License for uva ursi medicinal tea indicates its use as support in the therapy of mild infections of the urinary tract, as does the British Herbal Compendium and the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'In consequence of the powerful astringency of the leaves, Uva-Ursi has a place not only in all the old herbals, but also in the modern Pharmacopoeias. There are records that it was used in the thirteenth century by the Welsh 'Physicians of Myddfai.' It was described by Clusius in 1601, and recommended for medicinal use in 1763 by Gerhard of Berlin and others. It had a place in the London Pharma

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture. Hydrangea's greatest use is in the treatment of inflamed or enlarged prostate glands. It may also be used for urinary stones or gravel associated with infections such as cystitis. In kidney stones, hydrangea is often combined with Stone Root, Bearberry and Gravel Root. In prostate problems it combines well with Horsetail and Saw Palmetto. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The decoction is said to have been used with great advantage by the Cherokee Indians, and later, by the settlers, for calculous diseases. It does not cure stone in the bladder, but, as demonstrated to the medical profession by Dr. S. W. Butler, of Burlington, N.J., it removes gravelly deposits and relieves the pain consequent on their emission.' 'The fluid extract is principally used for earthy deposits, alkaline urine, chronic gleet, and mucous irritations of the bladder in aged persons. A concentrated syrup with sugar or honey, or a simple decoction of the root, may also be used.' American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'This agent is a soothing diuretic, exercising a mild, but permanent tonic influence upon the entire mucous structures of the genito-urinary tract.' 'It is an important remedy in acute nephritis. I have for many years combined it with gelsemium, or gelsemium and cimicifuga, and have obtained most satisfactory results. In lithemia with permanent backache from. the kidneys irritation from the presence of uric acid and phosphatic crystalline precipitates, the continued use of this agent is usually curative. In urinary irritation of an acute character, or that induced by local causes, as that following confinement, this agent is often curative in a few hours. Any excess of acidity or alkalinity, however, should be corrected by other agents.' 'Infusions, in some cases, are more satisfactory than exact pharmaceutical preparations. The fluid extract in hot water is often more prompt in its action. The agent is soothing, also, to the mucous surfaces of the respiratory passages.' Eclectic Materia Medica, 1922 (Felter): 'Hydrangea is diuretic and sedative to cystic and urethral irritation, with passage of gravelly urine. It does not dissolve gravel, but is believed to be of value in preventing their formation, especially alkaline and phosphatic concretions. It should be administered in hot water.' 'Hydrangea may be used in any renal disorder with dysuria, blood in the urine, or deep-seated pain in the region of the kidneys. It is not contraindicated by inflammation and may be employed with safety in acute nephritis. It is especially serviceable in alkaline urine and in bladder irritation of the aged with tendency to catarrh. Unquestionably hydrangea has a kindly action upon the mucosa of the urinary organs and it has alterative properties making it useful in strumous diseases.' Ka

This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. This extract is packed in Plum Flower Brand's nitrogen-flushed, safety-sealed dispenser bottle, a sample of which is pictured above. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. This is a pure herbal product with no additives. Extracted from sulfur-free and chlorine-free herbs for superior quality. Manufactured in a low-temperature water extraction process to preserve herb integrity. Extracted essential oils are replenished for proper potency. Strict quality control testing to ensure microbiological and heavy metal safety. Only powdered herb added to maintain purity (no artificial fillers such as lactose, cellulose or starch used). TLC (Thin-layer Chromatography) tested to guarantee product quality. Plum Flower takes great care to preserve delicate herbal oils, which are first evaporated using either a water or water-alcohol base in a process that never exceeds 100° centigrade. Sealed vacuum chargers precisely control the temperature, ensuring that none of the oils are lost. Cheaper, high-temperature methods are common industry practice, but these tend to burn off the vital oils. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval. Finally, batches are regularly sent out for quality control testing in third-party labs to double-ensure that Plum Flower products are 100% free of pharmaceuticals, preservatives and dyes. The Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Governments Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world. Varuna Fulfillment Center items are special ordered.

" Helps Maintain Cholesterol Levels Already Within Normal Range " Easy To Swallow Capsules " 2.5% Standarized extract of guggulsterones Natrol Gugulipid features standarized extract of guggul (Commiphora Mukul), which has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Studies suggest guggul may enhance heart health by helping to maintain cholesterol levels that are already within a normal range.* Gugulipid has been suggested for arthritis, osteoarthritis, hypercholesterol, bronchitis, cystitis, debility, diabetes, endometritis, fat reduction, gout, skin and mucous membrane heling, hemorrhoids, iskin diseases, bone healing and rheumatic disorders. Gugulipid comes from a tree in India called a mukul tree and is the extract of the oleoresin (gum guggul). It's active components, Z-guggulsterone and E-guggulsterone, have an ability to lower both cholseterol and triglyceride levels. It does this by increasing the liver's metabolism of LDL-cholesterol, thus limiting its accumulation in the blood stream. Safety studies done on animals have shown it to be nontoxic. It may be used and is considered safe to use during pregnancy. The classical treatise on Ayurvedic medicine, Sushrita Samhita, describes the use of guggul for a wide variety of conditions, including rheumatism and obesity. Standardized guggul extracts are approved in India for lowering elevated serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Guggul contains resin, volatile oils, and gum. The extract isolates ketonic steroid compounds known as guggulsterones. These compounds have been shown to provide the cholesterol- and triglyceride-lowering actions noted for guggul. Guggul significantly lowers serum triglycerides and cholesterol as well as LDL and VLDL cholesterols (the 'bad' cholesterols). At the same time, it raises levels of HDL cholesterol (the 'good' cholesterol). As antioxidants, guggulsterones keep LDL cholesterol from oxidizing, an action which protects against atherosclerosis. Guggul has also been shown to reduce the stickiness of plateletsanother effect that lowers the risk of coronary artery disease. One double-blind trial found guggul extract similar to the drug clofibrate for lowering cholesterol levels. Other clinical trials in India (using 1,500 mg of extract per day) have confirmed guggul extracts improve lipid levels in humans. Overindulgence can produce diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal pain, and skin rash. A more common side-effect is mild abdominal discomfort. Guggul should be used with caution by people with liver disease and in cases of inflammatory bowel disease and diarrhea. A physician should be consulted before treating elevated cholesterol and triglycerides. Kalyx Fulfillment Center ships only to the USA and Canada.
