Remedies using Bilberry
The huckleberry of North America and the Bilbery of England are all closely related to the cranberry and blueberry. The ancients used them largely, and Dioscorides spoke of them highly (Grieve, AMH) The ripe fruit is best for therapeutic purposes, but the leaves are used also. 
Bilberry Medicinal Uses
They are under the dominion of Jupiter. It is a pity they are used no more in physic than they are. The black bilberries are good in hot agues, and to cool the heat of the liver and stomach; they do somewhat bind the belly, and stay vomiting and loathings; the juice of the berries made in a syrup, or the pulp made into a conserve with sugar, is good for the purposes aforesaid, as also for an old cough, or an ulcer in the lungs, or other diseases therein.
