Hydrangea, scientifically known as Hydrangea arborescens, is a flowering shrub native to North America, particularly prevalent in the eastern United States. While admired for its ornamental beauty in gardens, the root of the hydrangea plant has also been utilized in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits.
The root contains various bioactive compounds, including hydrangin, saponins, flavonoids, phytochemicals and nutrients such as calcium, selenium, zinc and magnesium.
 
Hydrangea root has traditionally been used to support urinary tract health, particularly in addressing issues like kidney stones and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It is thought to possess diuretic properties, promoting urine flow and potentially aiding in the expulsion of kidney stones, which can be beneficial for the kidney, and prostate in men. 
Additionally, hydrangea root is believed to possess anti-inflammatory properties, which may help alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism. 
 
Topically used to treat and relieve wounds, burns, sore muscles and sprains.
