What It Is

Bearberry, or mecho grozde, is the dried leaf of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, a low evergreen shrub that grows in cooler northern regions. It is a long-established herb in European herbalism. This is a single-ingredient pack of 100g dried bearberry leaf from Bioprograma, a long-standing Bulgarian herb house. The leaves are rich in natural tannins and a compound called arbutin.

How It Is Traditionally Used

In European herbalism, bearberry leaf has traditionally been used only as a short-term preparation, for brief periods rather than as an everyday drink. It is not a casual beverage tea. Because of how it is metabolized, it should be used only briefly and with appropriate guidance. Always follow the directions on the package.

Important Safety Information

Bearberry is a functional herb for short-term use only and is not intended as a daily or long-term drink. It should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, by children, or by anyone with kidney problems. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, talk to a healthcare professional before use. Its high tannin content can cause nausea in some people. Do not exceed the amount or duration stated on the package, and keep out of the reach of children. Stop use and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or unusual symptoms.
