BUCHU Agathosma
betulina
Liquid extract of dried leaf. |
Actions: Stimulant, antiseptic, cleansing
and tonic to the kidneys, bladder and mucous membranes of the urinary
tract. Mild diuretic action increases elimination of both watery and
solid constituents of urine. However, it moderates excessive activity
of kidneys.
Uses: Chronic, atonic diseases of the urinary system,
or chronic irritation with discharge (especially in the aged). Abnormally
acid or muddy urine loaded with salts, with constant desire to urinate
but with little relief from the effort. Chronic cystitis, urethritis,
prostatitis, gonorrhea, pyuria (pus in urine) and gleet. Incontinence
associated with prostate maladies.
Dose: Take 30 to 60 drops in half-cup water, 2 to 4
times per day.
Cautions: Consult a qualified midwife or physician
before taking during pregnancy. Do not use in acute inflammation or
infection of the urinary tract. Sensitive persons may experience upset
stomach; avoid taking on an empty stomach. Buchu can harmlessly impart
its aroma to the urine and render it dark in color.
