Traditional Background

Bilberry has a long history in European herbalism for supporting circulation, eye health and general “blood” wellness. While the berries are famous as a food and tonic, the leaf has also been traditionally used to support healthy blood sugar, urinary tract function and digestive balance.

Active Constituents

Flavonoids & Polyphenols: Bilberry leaf contains various flavonoids and phenolic compounds that act as antioxidants and help support vascular integrity and microcirculation.

Tannins: Natural tannins give Bilberry leaf mild astringent properties, supporting healthy gut and mucous membrane tone.

Trace Minerals: The leaf provides small amounts of minerals that contribute to its traditional use as a tonic for overall wellness.

Traditional Uses

Circulation & Vein Support: Bilberry has long been used to support healthy capillaries and circulation, particularly in the eyes, legs and other fine blood vessels.

Eye & Vision Support (whole plant tradition): Traditional herbal use of bilberry (leaf and berry together) includes supporting night vision, visual fatigue and eye strain, especially in those with high visual demands.

Blood Sugar Balance: Bilberry leaf has historically been used as part of herbal regimes aimed at maintaining healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range.

Digestive & Gut Tone: The astringent properties of the leaf have been used to support normal bowel function and comfortable digestion.

Urinary & Kidney Support: In traditional European practice, bilberry leaf was also used as a mild urinary tonic.
