Aqueous extracts of Sambucus nigra and Arctostaphylos uva‐ursi and hydroalcohol extracts of Orthosiphon stamineus and Hieracium pilosella were tested for their diuretic activities in rats; pharmacological evaluation revealed that they led to an increase in urine flow. Urinary sodium excretion in rats was increased with O. stamineus and S. nigra. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
