Buchu Leaf Powder Wildcrafted or Buchu Leaf Powder Organic is an amazing herb. It's botanical name is Barosma betulina and is found in South Africa.
It's important to note that this herb should not be used during pregnancy and it is also contraindicated in kidney inflammation.
Buchu is the primary ingredient in my Bladder Infection formula that I make in my Apothecary. It works very quickly to relieve the discomfort and symptoms of a bladder infection. Literally, after you take your first dose, which is always a double dose of 2 tsps., the very next time that you urinate you have relief. If you have every suffered from a bladder infection then you know how wonderful that can be!
But, it's important to note that the infection is NOT gone yet. You will need to take the whole 4 oz. bottle. The herb is combined with Cornsilk and Bearberry (Uva Ursi) with Buchu being the the smallest amount in the formula, but, the most powerful. It is also recommended to drink an infusion (tea) of yarrow throughout the day.
The parts of the plant that are used are the dried leaf and the small flowers. It is typically prepared as a tea or liquid extract (tincture).
Other herbs that Buchu is commonly blended with are Couchgrass, Cranberry, Cleavers, Dandelion Leaf, Goldenrod, & Parsley. These links are all organic but these herbs also come in regular and can be found in my store, DesertBotanicals.com
