Heather - traditional European herbal remedy | UroChannel

Описание: Which herbs are a good choice for urinary tract infections? In this episode of UroChannel, we focus on heather (Calluna vulgaris). In traditional European medicine, it was widely known for its medicinal properties. Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, a board-certified urologist and sexologist from Göttingen, introduces viewers to the Lüneburg Heath, a stunning region in northern Germany famous for its heather blossoms. Historically, heather has been used to treat various ailments, particularly urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, and rheumatism. Its flowering tops were often brewed into teas or infusions believed to have diuretic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Modern research supports these traditional uses. Studies show that heather contains bioactive compounds like arbutin, which metabolizes into hydroquinone, an antimicrobial agent. Arbutin, along with flavonoids and tannins, fights bacteria that cause UTIs by disrupting their metabolic processes and preventing biofilm formation, making it a promising natural remedy. Although heather can be found in supplements and teas online, it’s important to note that herbal remedies should complement—not replace—conventional medical treatments, especially in severe infections requiring antibiotics.
