Uva Ursi
(Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)
Product description
Uva Ursi—also called Bearberry—is the steadfast herb of purification, protection, and resilience. Its leathery leaves carry a potent astringent energy—scatter dried leaves around your altar to form a cleansing barrier, infuse them in a deep-purification bath to wash away stagnant influences, or weave them into sachets for ongoing protection and spiritual fortitude.
Folklore Story
In Native American lore, the bearberry’s scarlet berries were favored by bears for their cleansing properties. It’s said that when a wounded bear grazed on the plant’s leaves, its wounds healed swiftly. Observing this, tribal healers adopted Uva Ursi to purify their bodies and spirits, honoring it as “Bear’s Balm” for its protective and restorative power.
