Chimaphila umbellate - Wild Harvested; grain alcohol 60%, spring water. Strength 1:5.
Supports urinary tract function.*
Summary: The primary uses of pipsissewa are for treating infections of the skin (with lotions) or urinary tract. As a diuretic, pipsissewa helps "flush out" infectious microorganisms. As an astringent, pipsissewa helps the skin heal over and prevents infection. Can be used as a substitute for uva-ursi, especially for persons who are unable to eat a vegetarian diet to alkalize the urine.
Precautions: None known. Some people seem to react to the oil produced by crushing the leaves and may break out as a result.
Suggested Use: Shake well. Twelve years and older, add 1-4 ml (15-60 drops) to a small amount of water and drink. Use 3-4 times daily as needed. To evaporate alcohol before drinking, add to a cup of heated water (no microwave!) and allow to sit for ten minutes before drinking. If an herb is appropriate for children, herb doses for children under 12 are typically 1/2 the adult dose; adjust by weight accordingly or check with a qualified practitioner.
