Arkogélules Bruyère Urinary Comfort 45 capsules

What is the purpose of the Heather contained in Arkopharma Laboratories' Arkogélules?

Heather, a small, bushy shrub, is widespread in Europe, particularly on sea cliffs, moors and open woods with poor soils. Its pretty mauve flowers brighten up the plant in late summer. In phytotherapy, Heather's flowering napils are used to promote water elimination and help the urinary system function properly.

Heather(Calluna vulgaris) is renowned for its diuretic action, promoting renal elimination of water. This property is useful for detoxifying the body and maintaining an adequate water balance. By increasing the volume and frequency of urination, heather helps to eliminate waste and toxins from the body, which can be beneficial to the health of the kidneys and the urinary system as a whole. This diuretic action can also be useful as part of weight loss or detoxification programs, helping to eliminate excess water and reduce fluid retention.

Thanks to its active compounds, notably tannins and flavonoids, heather has antiseptic properties that can help prevent and treat urinary tract and genital infections. These compounds have the ability to neutralize or destroy pathogenic micro-organisms, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses, which can cause infections. Using heather as a urogenital antiseptic agent can help reduce inflammation, relieve unpleasant symptoms and promote healing of infections.

Heather is often used as a depurative plant, helping to eliminate toxins and waste accumulated in the body. Its depurative action can support the proper functioning of the kidneys and urinary system by promoting the elimination of undesirable substances through the urine. By stimulating waste elimination, heather can help purify the blood and improve the body's overall health. This depurative action can also benefit skin health, helping to eliminate impurities and prevent skin problems.

Due to its diuretic and antiseptic properties, heather is particularly beneficial in the treatment of cystitis, helping to relieve symptoms such as pain and burning during urination. By promoting the elimination of pathogens and toxins responsible for infection, heather can help reduce inflammation and promote healing of the urinary tract. Its diuretic action also helps dilute urine and reduce irritation of the urinary tract, which can relieve the uncomfortable symptoms associated with cystitis.

Heather is also used to maintain a healthy balance in the vaginal microbiota. Its antiseptic properties can help prevent microbial imbalances and vaginal infections by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic micro-organisms. Using heather as a support agent for the vaginal microbiota can help maintain a healthy vaginal environment and prevent common infections such as bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis.

Certain compounds found in heather, such as flavonoids, can have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help relieve the inflammation associated with certain urinary tract conditions. By reducing inflammation and easing painful symptoms, heather can help improve urinary comfort and promote healing of urinary tract infections and irritations.

Heather contains phenolic compounds that give it antioxidant properties. These antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals in the body, helping to protect cells from oxidative damage. By protecting cells and tissues from the damaging effects of free radicals, heather can help prevent premature ageing, boost the immune system and reduce the risk of chronic diseases linked to oxidative stress.
