Process: wildcrafted Uva ursi leaf, powdered.
Other Names: Bearberry, Bear Berry.
Origin: USA.
Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), also known as Bearberry, is a resilient evergreen plant that thrives in harsh alpine forests across the Himalayas, Siberia, Northern Europe, and North America. This hardy herb has been used for centuries by Native American tribes, who valued it for its natural astringent properties.
Unlike many other plants, bears are known to consume Uva Ursi’s red berries, giving it the common name Bearberry. However, it is the leaves of the plant that are most commonly harvested in autumn for use in herbal teas, poultices, salves, and natural remedies.

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.
