Sphenomeris chusana

Sphenomeris chusana, also known as the Bearberry or Kinnikinnick, is a low-growing, evergreen shrub native to North America.

It has been used in traditional medicine for its antiseptic and astringent properties, which have been found to be effective in treating various health conditions, including urinary tract infections, diarrhea, and skin problems.

The plant's medicinal properties have been attributed to its high concentration of arbutin, a compound that has been shown to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Sphenomeris chusana can be prepared as a tea or tincture, and has been used in herbal medicine for its ability to promote urinary health, reduce inflammation, and soothe digestive issues.
