Barberry is the common name for Berberis Vulgaris. The active ingredient is Berberine – an alkaloid that is prevalent in several other herbs that are widely used such as Goldenseal, Goldenthread, and others.
Medicinal use of barberry dates back more than 2,500 years. It has been used in Indian folk medicine to treat diarrhea, reduce fever, improve appetite, relieve upset stomach, and promote vigor as well as a sense of well being. Today, it is widely used for medicinal purposes in Iran, including for biliary disorders (such as gallbladder disease) and heartburn.
Barberry and goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) are often used for similar medicinal purposes because both herbs contain the chemical berberine.
Berberine has been proven to lower blood sugar levels in diabetics as effectively as the most commonly prescribed medicine Metformin, with far less side effects. For that reason alone, Berberine is getting a lot of attention and further research. It also has many other positive effects, such as lowering blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels.
It is also shown to help reduce weight and belly fat.
Berberine has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in test tubes, and may help the immune system function better. The aqueous extract of barberry has beneficial effects on both the cardiovascular and neural system. As such, it may be useful in the treatment of hypertension, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), and some neuronal disorders, such as epilepsy and convulsions. Recent studies suggest that barberry also has antioxidant properties.
