Belonanthus hispidus

Belonanthus hispidus, also known as bearberry, is a low-growing, evergreen shrub native to North America, characterized by its small white flowers and red berries.

Traditionally, bearberry has been used for its medicinal properties, which include antiseptic and astringent properties, making it effective in treating urinary tract infections and diarrhea.

The health benefits of bearberry include its ability to reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and act as a natural diuretic.

Bearberry can be prepared as a tea, tincture, or dried herb, and is often used in combination with other herbs to enhance its medicinal properties.
