Bilberry leaves, from the Vaccinium myrtillus plant, have been used traditionally for their medicinal properties. Bilberry leaf doesn’t contain anthocyanosides, the antioxidant compounds found in the fruit. The leaf’s bitter quality is owing instead to a high tannin content, which lends the herb astringent properties.
Historically, bilberry leaf has been by herbalists to counter inflammation in connective tissue associated with bruising, digestive disorders, the degeneration of collagen, and peripheral nerve damage.
Here are some potential benefits of bilberry leaves:
Eye Health:
Bilberry leaves contain anthocyanins, antioxidants that may improve night vision, strengthen blood vessels in the eyes, and protect against eye damage.
Cardiovascular Health:
The antioxidants in bilberry leaves may help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and lower cholesterol levels.
Blood Sugar Control:
Some studies suggest that bilberry leaves may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, potentially benefiting people with diabetes.

Bilberry leaves contain tannins, which may have astringent and anti-inflammatory effects that can help reduce diarrhea and soothe stomach irritation.
Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties:
The anthocyanins and other antioxidants in bilberry leaves may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, reducing inflammation throughout the body.
