Pharmacological properties of common lingonberry:
Pharmacological properties of lingonberry are determined by its chemical composition.
Galenic preparations from lingonberry leaves have a disinfectant, diuretic and choleretic effect due to the content of a significant amount of arbutin in the plant. During hydrolysis, arbutin is split into hydroquinone, which gives a pronounced bactericidal diuretic effect. In addition, the antiseptic effect of lingonberry leaves is due to tannin compounds, which also have bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties. Catechin substances reduce the permeability and fragility of capillaries. The diuretic effect of lingonberry leaves increases when used simultaneously with other diuretics (toloknyanka leaves, kidney tea). The diuretic effect of toloknyanka is more pronounced due to the high content of arbutin and tannins in it.(//tractor-service.com)
