Its scientific name is Vaccinium myrtillus. It is a lot like the American blueberry (Vaccinium cyanococcus) in many ways. To distinguish it from other plants in the Vaccinium family, people refer to it as common bilberry or blue whortleberry. Local names for the blaeberry include hurtleberry, huckleberry, and blaeberry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plant called Vaccinium myrtillus makes berries that are similar to the American blueberry. As medicine, the dried fruit and leaves are used. Bilberries contain chemicals known as tannins. They might make the swelling go down. Chemicals in bilberry leaves might also help people with diabetes lower their blood sugar and fat levels and improve their circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I use bilberry leaf powder?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are several flexible applications for this powder.

Chemicals in bilberry leaves might also help people with diabetes lower their blood sugar and fat levels and improve their circulation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eMay improve vision:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most people eat bilberries because they are thought to improve eyesight, especially night vision.  A few small studies have looked into how these berries affect night vision, but they have all come to the same conclusion: there is not enough evidence to support this benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill, there may be other ways in which bilberries help your eyesight. Other studies show that taking 160–480 mg of powdered bilberry extract every day may reduce eye dryness and other signs of eye tiredness caused by working with video display screens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eMay reduce inflammation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inflammation, which is thought to be the cause of many diseases, may be fought off by bilberries. The anthocyanins in them may be a contributing factor in this action. Anthocyanins are anti-oxidants that can also reduce inflammation. Studies show that bilberry lowers the levels of inflammatory markers in most clinical studies of metabolic disorders. This suggests that bilberry could be used to avoid and treat chronic inflammatory disorders. One study with 24 people showed that the signs and symptoms of serious dry eyes got better after they took bilberry extract and fish oil as food supplements for 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eMay lower blood sugar levels: \u003c\/strong\u003eHbA1c, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol all seem to go down when bilberry powder is taken.  Anthocyanins in bilberries are mostly linked to reducing reactive stress and changing the bacteria in the gut. Anthocyanins are strong antioxidants that help keep metabolic diseases and type 2 diabetes from happening. In an 8-week study, people with metabolic syndrome, a group of diseases that makes you more likely to get type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease, secreted more insulin when they ate more fresh bilberries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◉ \u003cstrong\u003eMay improve heart health:\u003c\/strong\u003e The health of your heart might improve if you eat bilberries. Research done in test tubes shows that the mix of anthocyanins in bilberries may help lower blood pressure.  In one 8-week study, 35 people who took a mix of berries every day, including bilberries, had better cell function, blood pressure, and HDL (good) cholesterol levels. These are all signs of a healthy heart. More and more studies have indicated that the anthocyanins in berries help protect the eyes, stop lipid breakdown, guard against cardiovascular disease, and control low blood sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can I buy bilberry leaf powder?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy bilberry leaf powder from the health food store in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\" title=\"Alive Herbals - The best online herbal store in the USA\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.aliveherbals.com\/\" title=\"The best online health food store in the USA - Alive Herbals\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlive Herbals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBilberry Leaf Powder information (at a glance):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eBilberry Leaf Powder.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eThe species is Vaccinium myrtillus L.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eOriginally from native to Albania.  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eIngredient\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eBilberry Leaf Powder.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 25%;\"\u003eTaste \u0026amp; Aroma\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75%;\"\u003eAroma: Senna-like, mild and fresh.
