Uva Ursi

Commonly known as "bearberry" because of its favorite forest admirer, Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is a powerhouse of the high-altitude wilderness. This low-growing evergreen is a master of survival, thriving in harsh, rocky soils—a trait it passes on through its medicinal leaves. In the EVOKE collection, Uva Ursi is the premier botanical for systemic filtration and inner authority, acting as a specialized "cleansing fire" for the body’s internal pathways.

• Support: Uva ursi is one of the most respected traditional herbs for the urinary tract. It contains arbutin, a compound that the body converts into a natural antiseptic as it passes through the kidneys. It is a premier choice for maintaining a clean, balanced environment within the bladder and urinary system.

• Spirit: An herb of intuition, focus, and earth connection. Metaphysically, Uva Ursi is used to heighten one’s psychic boundaries and deepen the connection to the "Great Mother" or Earth energy. It is a grounding herb that helps filter out external "noise," allowing your true inner voice to be heard.

• Packaging: Arrives in a heat-sealed kraft bag to protect the leathery, tannin-rich leaves and preserve their potent antiseptic properties.

How to Use:

• The Filtering Infusion: Steep 1–2 tsp in hot water for 10–15 minutes. The tea is amber-colored and carries a distinct, earthy bitterness (the sign of high tannin content). Drink as needed for short-term urinary support.

• The Clarity Bath: Add a strong, strained infusion to your bath water to create an "energetic filter," helping to wash away spiritual debris and refocus your intent.

• The Grounding Ritual: Carry a leaf or two in your pocket when you feel overwhelmed by the opinions of others to help you "filter" the truth from the noise.
