Product Description
Buchu Leaf Powder
(Agathosma betulina)
Buchu leaf powder (Agathosma betulina) is a South African herb known for its traditional uses. It contains essential oils and flavonoids. Traditionally, it has been associated with supporting urinary tract health and having some anti-inflammatory properties. Its natural compounds may act as a diuretic and antiseptic in the urinary system, which some believe can help with irritation and bladder health. It has also been used for mild digestive discomfort and is sometimes included in detoxification practices. Understanding these traditional uses can be helpful for those interested in herbal remedies. Buchu Leaf is also used as an insect repellant, deodorizer agent, as a diuretic for body builders, and as a perfume ingredient.
Buchu Leaf Nutritional Content: Buchu leaf powder is not a significant source of standard macronutrients like protein, fat, or carbohydrates in typical serving sizes. Instead, its "nutritional value" stems from its rich concentration of bioactive plant compounds. It is naturally high in beneficial flavonoids and antioxidants such as quercetin, rutin, and diosmin, which contribute to its traditional health benefits. The powder also contains essential oils and traces of several vitamins, including A, B, and E, along with minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron. These compounds support the body at a cellular level. Disclaimer: Buchu contains pulegone, a compound that can be a liver toxin in very large doses.
