Buchu Leaf
Agathosma betulina
Bucha Leaf is a small shrub native to South Africa where it is used as a popular flavoring agent to impart a peppermint-like flavor to brandies and wines. it is used as a diuretic and antiseptic and has also been used for hundreds of years for bladder irritations, as a disinfectant of the urinary tract, and as a diuretic. Buchu is also often used to treat prostate infections. The primary action of the herb is antimicrobial.
The long leaves of this herb are brewed for use in treatment of inflammation of the urethra, blood in the urine, bladder infections and other chronic urinary tract disorders. It is also said to be an effective remedy for kidney stones, cystitis, and rheumatism. Buchu contains 'barosma champhor' and other volatile oils which account for its mild diuretic and antiseptic activity. Buchu is considered to be an extremely safe herb and there are no reported toxic effects.
If using for treatment of a urinary tract infection, the only caution would be to have a proper diagnosis of the ailment, since Buchu is completely ineffective in treating sexually transmitted diseases, for which it was once widely thought to be a remedy.
