SCIENCE
Uva Ursi
Latin name: Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
Other names: bearberry, kinnickinick
—
Abstract:
“The prophylactic effect of UVA-E on recurrent cystitis was evaluated in a double-blind, prospective, randomized study. A total of 57 women who had suffered at least three episodes of cystitis during the year preceding the study were treated with either UVA-E (n = 30) or placebo (n = 27) for 1 month. At the end of the 1-year follow-up period, a statistically significant difference between groups in the number of recurrences was seen. No side effects were reported. We conclude that UVA-E exerts a prophylactic effect on recurrent cystitis.”

Abstract:
“Uva-ursi folium (bearberry leaf) has been traditionally used to treat symptoms of lower urinary tract infections. The most representative constituent of this herbal drug is arbutin that is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine and undergoes hepatic conjugation to form hydroquinone (HQ) conjugates. As free HQ is crucial for the safety of the herbal preparation, we reviewed published and unpublished experimental and human studies to clarify some outdated assumptions and to support the safety of therapeutic daily doses of Uva-ursi folium extract. Specifically, data on pharmacokinetics and the human exposure of arbutin and HQ were reviewed.
A therapeutic recommended human daily dose of bearberry leaf extract (420 mg hydroquinone derivatives calculated as anhydrous arbutin) liberates free HQ in urine at a maximum exposure level of 11 µg/kg body weight (bw)/d. By means of an experimental no observed effect level value, a permitted daily exposure dose below which there is a negligible risk to human health was estimated for free HQ (100 µg/kg bw/d). Dietary sources of arbutin/HQ that are regularly consumed long term by humans generate comparable free HQ exposure levels.
There is no direct evidence, regarding human data, supporting the fact that free HQ causes convulsion, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, or promotion of tumors in humans. Free HQ had no activity promoting pancreatic, bladder, stomach, or liver carcinogenesis. In conclusion, under the recommended use conditions Uva-ursi folium is a safe therapeutic option for treating lower urinary tract infections.”

Dalar el al. concluded that “Aqueous extracts of Plantago lanceolata and Malva neglecta, two plants from eastern regions of Turkey used as medicinal plants, exhibited potent antioxidant capacities, comparable or superior to multiple herbs and Chinese medicinal plants. The levels of phenolic compounds correlated well with antioxidant activities.”

Buchu
Latin name: Agathosma betulina
Other names: round buchu, short buchu
—
Abstract:
“Buchu leaves and oil of buchu were used by the indigenous people of South Africa for hundreds of years. The medicinal use of buchu was taken up by the early Dutch settlers and later introduced into the pharmaceutical industry in the UK.
Buchu preparations are now used as a diuretic and for a wide range of conditions including stomach aches, rheumatism, bladder and kidney infections and coughs and colds.”
—
“Biosynthesis of certain compounds in in vitro culture of Buchu was induced by plant growth regulator application compared to the control. The plants possess a number of pharmacological properties including anticancer, antimicrobial and antioxidant.”

Nettle
Latin name: Urtica dioica
Other names: stinging nettle
—
Notes that “In urinary conditions, stinging nettle herb is used for reducing hematuria due to infection or stones, increasing volume of urine, and for reducing kidney stone size or recurrence.”
—
A review of Safarinejad’s study highlights that, “Results [from Safarinejad’s study] offer some preliminary evidence that long-term treatment (up to 18 months) with stinging nettle root might substantially improve lower urinary tract symptoms in men with BPH [benign prostatic hyperplasia]. The degree of improvement is impressive, with an 8 point improvement in the IPSS in 6 months, compared to a 1.5 point improvement with placebo.”

Abstract:
“The hexane extracts of flower and root of Althaea officinalis which were collected from northwestern Iran (Khalkhal) were obtained by Soxhlet apparatus. The fatty acids were derived from methyl esters and determined by gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID) and gas chromatograph/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) systems. The hexane extract from the flower and root contained omega-3 (20.5 and 14.9%, respectively). The other main compounds of the flower extract were palmitic acid (13.0%), heptacosane (9.3%) and nonacosane (11.2%).
In the root extract, palmitic acid (16.8%), linoleic acid (omega-6) (28.0%) and naphthalene decahydro 2, 6- dimethyl (16.4%) were the main components. The antimicrobial activity of the hexane extracts of those samples were determined against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis), as well as three fungi (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The bioassay showed that the both extracts exhibited good antimicrobial activity. This study reveals that all the parts of this plant are attractive sources of fatty acid components.”

I am so thankful for Nunamed. I went thought lots of antibiotics and trial and error to find something that worked for me. I am able to use Nunamed to sooth my symptoms. I often find that I feel better in a couple of days and do not need to go to the doctor for yet another prescription. Natural is the way to go. Thank you, Nunamed.

The tea was spot on and has greatly helped my wife’s IC symptoms.
Kimberly P. (verified owner) –
This is a high quality medicinal tea. It helps me when I am having flares with my interstitial cystitis. It has a pleasant flavor for medicinal tea. This batch did not seem as strong however. I like to use the bag twice to get the most out of the healing properties.
The customer support is amazing also.
Alexandra (verified owner) –
Great product. My bladder feels way less irritated since taking it, and it tastes great. You do have to drink it daily to feel the effect.
Wanda W. (verified owner) –
I just started using this product and so far am very pleased with the outcome.
Sam Palahnuk (verified owner) –

Karly (verified owner) –
I have been taking when I feel a UTI coming on. It tastes great and seems to be helping! I will definitely order more.
Adeline (verified owner) –
I’m pretty pleased with this tea. The taste is slightly bitter but not in an unpleasant way. I find it easy to drink several cups per day. I’m using it preventatively so time will tell if it’s helping! The ingredients seem like a great combination though
Beth W. (verified owner) –
Nuna tea works great when you feel like you might have a uti approaching. It is important to follow the directions about the frequency of use. I highly recommend it to those of us with frequent uti’s
Kimberly P. (verified owner) –
I have interstitial cystitis and my body seems to crave this tea. I believe it is part of the healing process for me. I enjoy the flavor also so that is a bonus. The teabags are generous so I can make 2 and 1/2 cups from one bag by reusing the bag pouring hot water over the bag and placing a plate over my cup to concentrate the steeping process.
