Urinary Bladder Support Tincture
Urinary Bladder Support Tincture, Corn Silk, Couch Grass Root, Marshmallow Leaf, Uva Ursi Leaf
Urinary Bladder Support Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of four herbs extracted together in equal parts. Three are mild, food-familiar plants; the fourth, uva ursi, is a stronger leaf traditionally used only in short courses, so this blend carries specific limits - please read the safety information below before use. All four herbs are also sold on their own.
- Corn silk - Zea mays stigma (Poaceae)
- Couch grass, root - Elymus repens rhizome (Poaceae) - also called quackgrass
- Marshmallow, leaf - Althaea officinalis leaf (Malvaceae) - the leaf, not the root
- Uva ursi, leaf - Arctostaphylos uva-ursi leaf (Ericaceae) - bearberry; short-course herb
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced botanicals. Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Corn silk - the fine, silky threads from the top of an ear of corn, dried; a mild herb of North American and Chinese tradition, and a food by-product familiar to anyone who has shucked corn.
- Couch grass - the creeping white rhizome of the common grass gardeners know as quackgrass; sweet-tasting and starchy, one of the mildest herbs in the European pharmacopoeias.
- Marshmallow - the soft, velvety leaf of the pink-flowered mallow of European marshes, rich in mucilage. This blend uses the leaf; the root is a separate product.
- Uva ursi - the small, leathery evergreen leaf of bearberry, a creeping shrub of northern heaths and mountains. It contains arbutin, which is why European herbal monographs limit it to short courses.
Why a tincture
The four dried herbs are macerated together in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water - the classic herbal method. A tincture keeps for years at room temperature in a cool, dark place, has a sharp, grassy-astringent taste, and a few drops disappear in a glass of water. A serving of 20 to 30 drops is roughly 1 ml of liquid, so the amount of alcohol per serving is small.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a glass of water and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label, and drink plenty of water through the day. Use it for no more than one week at a time and no more than five courses a year. Do not exceed the label serving. Take it at least two hours apart from any medication (see the safety note). Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same four-herb blend is available as Urinary Bladder Support Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The herbs and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
This blend contains uva ursi and is for short courses only. Please read before use.
- See a doctor: if you have fever, chills, back or side pain, blood in the urine, or symptoms that last more than a few days, see a doctor promptly. These need medical diagnosis, and no herbal product replaces medical care.
- Short courses only: uva ursi leaf contains arbutin, which the body converts to hydroquinone. Use this blend for no more than one week at a time and no more than five courses a year. Do not use it if you have kidney disease.
- Age: not for anyone under 18.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use.
- Diuretics and blood pressure: corn silk and couch grass increase urine output, and corn silk may lower potassium and blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you take diuretics, blood-pressure medicine or corticosteroids.
- Blood sugar: corn silk and marshmallow may lower blood sugar - monitor if you take diabetes medication.
- Blood thinners: corn silk is rich in vitamin K, which can change how warfarin works.
- Medication timing: marshmallow mucilage can slow the absorption of medicines - take this blend at least two hours apart from any medication.
- Allergies: avoid if you are allergic to corn or corn pollen, grass pollen, or mallow-family plants. Uva ursi may give urine a harmless greenish-brown tint.
- Contains alcohol. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Keep out of reach of children.
