Buchu leaf is very pleasant just on its own as an alternative herbal drink. Use just 3 leaves and pour boiling water over them - remove them almost immediately. They can be used three times.
Use fresh leaves three times a day for treatment Take 1/2 teaspoonful in a cup of boiling water and steep for 5-10 mins. Remove leaves and drink. Take some any time you feel niggles in the bladder area.

I had been suffering with a bladder infection for the last week, using the mixture of CS, Gatorade and MSM that was mentioned a couple months ago (see archives) as being valuable to augment the effectiveness of the CS. I found that although I wasn't getting worse, I wasn't getting better either. I spoke to my homeopathic doctor who suggested that I augment the CS with Cranberry-Buchu tablets. I was astonished when my rather chronic symptoms were reduced in 24-36 hours. I am continuing on the CS/Cranberry-Buchu tablets until I am symptom free (perhaps a week more). I had never heard of the addition of the Buchu Leaf to the Cranberry, but it made all the difference in the world. Hope this helps someone. Al
