Bearberry is a type of small shrub belonging to the heath family, scientifically known as Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. Native to the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, it's known for its glossy red berries and evergreen leaves. The plant has historically been used for its medicinal properties, particularly for treating urinary tract infections. Bears, birds, and other wildlife often eat bearberries, hence its name.
