What Is Pipsissewa and Can It Relieve Cystitis Pain?

Pipsissewa is a plant that was traditionally used by Native Americans for the relief of urinary issues such as cystitis. It is used by herbalists because it is a good disinfectant and antimicrobial for the bladder. Unfortunately the herb isn't good for long term treatment usage, but may help with short term cystitis relief.

Pipsissewa may interfere with birth control pills due to it's phytoestrogenic properties, so take care.

Pipsossewa can be found in tincture, extract, tablet, and tea form.
