Blueberry Leaf Extract (Vaccinium angustifolium) 2 fl oz: HH

Helps to decrease blood sugar, and helpful with diarrhea and dysentery and diabetes. King's 1898 Dispensatory: [of the closley related American Whortleberry, Vaccinium frondosum] 'Diuretic and astringent. The fruit is very useful, eaten alone, with milk or sugar, in scurvy, dysentery, and derangements of the urinary organs. The berries and roots, bruised and steeped in gin, form an excellent diuretic, which has proved of much benefit in dropsy and gravel. A decoction of the leaves or bark of the root is astringent, and may be used in diarrhoea, or as a local application to ulcers, leucorrhoea, and ulcerations of the mouth and throat.'
