Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) belongs to the same family as the bilberry and the blueberry and has long been valued as a food, especially in North America where it can be found growing in bogs. Cranberry is usually associated with eating Turkey at Christmas, but since the earlier part of this century the use of cranberry for medicinal purposes has become much more commonplace, and over the past few years has become an increasingly popular drink.

BENEFITS

Urinary tract infections (UTI’S)

Women have been using Cranberry to treat and prevent UTI’s for nearly ninety years in the belief that the juice acidified the urine, which in turn prevented bacterial growth. We now know however, that it is not acidification that leads to the beneficial effect but actually due to the ability of cranberry to prevent microorganisms from adhering to the cells of the urinary tract.

Detoxification

Cranberry has been traditionally used to prevent kidney stones and to remove toxins from the blood.
