Type: Uva Ursi leaf powder.
Color: Light Green.
Process: wildcrafted Uva ursi leaf, powdered.
Other Names: Bearberry, Bear Berry.
Origin: Mexico
Uva Ursi is an evergreen, trailing plant that survives where many plants don’t, including the alpine forests of the Himalayas, Siberia, northern Europe, and North America. Also known as common Bearberry because bears eat the plant’s red berries, Uva Ursi has a long history of use by Native Americans.
The leaves, which contain astringent tannins, arbutin, and hydroquinone, are traditionally used to make poultices, salves, and other topical preparations.
Bearberry leaf is harvested in autumn and has historically been used for its natural properties.
POWDER: Due to the presence of a glycoside called arbutin, Uva ursi powdered leaf is used to make infusions and extracts for topical use. Powdered Uva Ursi can also be encapsulated as a dietary supplement, or may be prepared as tea, alone, or with other herbs to enhance flavor.
CAUTION: Consult your physician before using herbs, especially if you have a chronic condition or take pharmaceutical medications.

I ordered this Uva Ursi thinking it would be USDA Organic as the picture shows, it came 'Wildcrafted' the Organic seal is very important to me so I feel misled. It is also brown, not green as I usually receive it from other companies. The shipping time was unacceptable. I received my order 2 weeks and a day after I ordered it. After reaching out to the seller, I was told it would ship on Monday and it wasn't shipped until Wednesday. Be ready to wait longer than stated for your order.
