Usages
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi Spreng. BEARBERRY. BEAR'S GRAPE. BRAWLINS. CREASHAK. MOUNTAIN BOX. North America and Arctic regions. The Chinook Indians mix its dried leaves with tobacco. It is used for the same purpose by the Crees who call it tchakoshe-pukk; by the Chippewaians, who name it kleh; and by the Eskimos north of Churchill, by whom it is termed at-tung-a-wi-at. It is the iss-salth of the Chinooks [1]. Its dry, farinaceous berry is utterly inedible [2].
Temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, especially Europe and Asia. Cultivated for pharmaceutical purposes in Czech and Slovak Republics. Also collected from the wild in Russia and Canada as either tradional herbal medicine or as medicinal raw material. Leaves are used in tanning 'Russian leather' and for tea in Russia. Several cultivars exist in the USA and Canada, and plants with good ornamental features and with high concentration of medicinal substances have been selected in Poland.
