Description
Barberry is a traditional digestive and liver-supportive herb containing the alkaloid berberine.
Modern research has explored its influence on metabolic pathways, gut microbial balance and inflammatory signalling. Clinical use, however, requires careful matching and medication review.
In my practice, it is prescribed short to medium term, most often in liquid extract form, and rarely as a stand-alone herb.
In certain presentations, personalised oxymel preparations may form part of your bespoke remedy.
