Are skin infections troubling you? Do frequent stomach problems bother you? Well, if I were in your place, I wouldn’t prefer popping a pill for every minor health issue.

If you too think the same, then you would also say yes to a health-promoting ingredient that nourishes while it heals. It is barberry we are talking about. Let us explore the many health benefits this ingredient has!

A Medicinal Herb:

Infections are a constant cause for anxiety. Barberry, a medicinal herb, has been in use since ancient times to fight infections and enhance immunity.

The herb is a part of Indian Ayurveda as a cure for dysentery. Ancient Egyptians used it against plagues, Europeans to treat gallbladder and liver conditions, Iranians for heart problems and Russians for inflammation. Barberry has got the body covered. Oh wait, there’s more!

1. Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Fungal:

If bacteria and fungi are not helping you, then they have no place in your body. Barberry is loaded with berberine, the substance that helps treat microbial infections. Whether it is an intestinal infection or cholera, clear the problems with tea infused with the herb.

2. Cure Weird Looking Skin Problems:

Some of the worst skin problems arise from yeast infections, not to forget acne and psoriasis. Before it looks like your skin is being taken over by an army of microbes, treat these conditions with barberry.

3. Protect The Lungs And Urinary Tract:

It is not just the skin that barberry can save from a microbial attack. Use the herb to treat sinusitis, bronchitis, nasal congestion and sore throat. Similarly, you can also treat urinary tract infection and inflammation.

4. Gets Rid Of Troublesome Diarrhea:

Too many bathroom breaks can hamper your spirits. Barberry is effective in the treatment of diarrhea, working better and faster than antibiotics. Did I pique your attention there?

This is because the herb has astringent properties that can even cure diarrhea due to food poisoning (1). Get the troublesome intestinal bacteria before the bacteria get you.

5. Makes Heart Stronger:

Barberry’s nourishing qualities begin here. Once you take care of the microbes, strengthen the heart with this herb as it has positive effects on the cardiovascular system.

Berbamine protects your heart from ischemia injury while enhancing the muscle’s contraction. It is effective in reducing high blood pressure.

6. Good For The Liver Too:

Is your liver struggling with conditions such as jaundice and hepatitis? Barberry tinctures can treat liver conditions and even correct bile flow.

This can solve gallbladder problems. Moreover, the herb protects the liver by minimizing DNA damage.

7. Stabilizes Blood Sugar In Diabetics:

It was observed that consuming barberry along with a preparation of milk thistle helped stabilize high blood sugar levels. The herb has potential applications in the treatment of type II diabetes.

8. Supplies All-Important Antioxidants:

Barberry hosts a store of antioxidants that make you stronger against external threats (2). Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress and neutralize free radicals in the body, thereby revitalizing you.

They also improve the immune system, arming you with better tools to fight infections. People who consume barberry extracts are certainly healthy.

9. Better, Pain-Free Digestion:

Is your stomach cramping up? Is heartburn turning your expressions into pre-seizure mode? Is a gastrointestinal pain making you groan in agony? Barberry can rescue you, as its bark from the stem can help with digestion.

10. Benefits Beyond Tally:

Don’t even try to count the number of health conditions barberry cures; it is a futile exercise.

By nature of its medicinal qualities, barberry is used to treat a host of health conditions. These include arthritis, gout, fever, cholera, tuberculosis, hemorrhoids, enlarged spleen, abnormal uterine bleeding, kidney stones, constipation, gum swelling and dental plaque (3). Additionally, the herb has anticonvulsant and sedative effects.

So, there you are. Whether you take it in your jams and jellies, like the herb is prepared, or drink it with your tea, barberry has something positive for you.
