Epigaea repens, also known as mountain laurel, is a low evergreen shrub that produces tiny pink flowers and glossy leaves. It is traditionally used as a diuretic, to help prevent bladder stone formation, to ease inflammation and oxidative stress, and to aid in blood‑sugar regulation. Because it contains benzoxazinoids and other bioactive compounds, it can irritate the digestive tract at high doses and may interact with kidney or liver function; people who are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication should seek medical advice before use.
