Bearberry is a reference plant for urinary tract infections.
Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi L.), known for centuries for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties for the urinary tract, is an effective natural solution for the relief of urinary tract infections. This product works in part thanks to thehydroquinone it contains, a substance with powerful antibacterial properties. In vitro, free hydroquinone, once conjugated, effectively fights bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, Proteus Vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus Vulgaris. Hydroquinone is released directly by the bacteria themselves, optimizing its antiseptic effect. These characteristics make bearberry an ideal plant for treating and preventing recurrent urinary tract infections.
Bearberry's urinary antiseptic properties derive largely fromarbutin, a glucoside transformed into hydroquinone on contact with urine, especially alkaline urine.Arbutin is metabolized only in the urinary tract, guaranteeing targeted, effective action on infection-causing germs such as Escherichia Coli, the main culprit in urinary tract infections. This specificity makes bearberry a natural choice for anyone suffering from recurrent cystitis or frequent urinary tract problems.
In addition to its antibacterial efficacy, bearberry contains phenolic acids, which work in synergy withhydroquinone to combat a wide range of germs, including Staphylococcus aureus, Mycoplasma, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus. Thanks to this composition, bearberry is also antimycotic, particularly against Candida albicans, and virostatic, reinforcing its action in the prevention of urinary tract infections of fungal and viral origin.
Bearberry also has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties that help reduce the painful symptoms associated with urinary tract infections. In fact, the iridoids andallantoin present in the plant promote regeneration of the urinary epithelium and reduce inflammation. This makes bearberry an excellent choice for those seeking relief from the pain and discomfort associated with infections and other urinary tract conditions.
Finally, bearberry 's aquaretic action increases the elimination of water by the kidneys, helping toevacuate the toxins and germs responsible for urinary tract infections. By facilitating the elimination of sodium and potassium, bearberry helps decongest the urinary tract and maintain a good water balance, particularly useful for people suffering from water retention.
Bearberry is therefore an invaluable ally for people suffering from frequent cystitis, urinary disorders or eveninflammation of the urinary tract. Thanks to its many active ingredients, such ashydroquinone, phenolic acids and iridoids, it offers a natural, effective solution for relieving symptoms and preventing recurrences. Used regularly or as a preventive treatment, it offers a natural alternative to conventional antibiotics.

Precautions for use
To optimize the action ofhydroquinone, it's important to ensure that urine is alkaline. This can be measured with test strips. To alkalinize urine, consume bicarbonate-rich waters such as St Yorre, Vichy Célestins or Badoit, or add sodium bicarbonate to your diet. Abundant water consumption (at least 2 liters a day) is also recommended throughout treatment.
Contraindications: Bearberry is not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women, due to its oxytocic properties. It is also contraindicated in cases of urinary tract cancer or kidney disease. It is also not recommended for use in children and adolescents, except under medical supervision. Bearberry extracts should be used in discontinuous courses, and should not exceed one week's continuous use without medical advice.
In the event of overdose, adverse effects such as nausea, headache, irritability or insomnia may occur. Bearberry may also increase the toxicity of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and should be avoided in combination with urine-acidifying substances such as vitamin C or citrus juices.

In France,…
