Bearberries are really peculiar. The berries aren't tasty at all, but the leaves of the plant have kinda magical medicinal properties. According to folklore, bearberries can be used to treat arthritis, back pain, bed wetting, bronchitis, diabetes, headaches, gonorrhea, kidney infections, rheumatism, and much, much more. Over-dosing on bearberries may result in blueish-gray skin.
Also, Algonquins combined bearberries with tobacco and the mixture was called Kinnikinick. LOL.
