Pyrola

Why You Need It

• Respiratory Relief: Pyrola is a legendary expectorant, helping to loosen stubborn phlegm and calm persistent coughs.
• Kidney Support: It acts as a diuretic, helping your body flush out excess fluids and toxins, supporting kidney health.
• Antioxidant Boost: It contains natural compounds like arbutin and quinones that help protect your cells from oxidative stress.

Deep Dive

Pyrola works primarily as a demulcent and diuretic. For the lungs, it soothes irritated mucous membranes in the throat and bronchial tubes, making it easier to breathe during seasonal sniffles. For the body, it stimulates the kidneys to produce more urine, which historically made it a go-to remedy for urinary tract health and 'rheumatic' pain relief. It is not a synthetic drug, but a potent botanical that requires respect for proper dosage.

Natural Food Sources

Unlike vitamins found in specific fruits or veggies, Pyrola is a wild-growing herb. It is not typically found in the grocery store produce aisle. However, it belongs to the Ericaceae (Heath) family, which includes berries.

Supplementation

Dosage: As this is a potent herb, follow product instructions. A typical dried herb tea uses 1-2 teaspoons per cup.

Who should take it: Best for those dealing with dry coughs, bronchitis, or urinary discomfort.

Who should avoid it: Pregnant women and those with severe kidney disease.
