Barberry
This attractive, but thorny, deciduous shrub is native to the open woods
of Europe but also grows wild in the Eastern United States. Striking
plumes of yellow flowers arch gracefully and abundantly from woody stems.
The barberry, however, has been cultivated in gardens for its berries
which have been used in both culinary and medicinal practices for
centuries. The stem, root, and bark have been used in medicinal
preparations since ancient times, so all parts of this exceptional plant
are beneficial from a health standpoint. The presence of bitter alkaloids
in the roots, bark, stems, and fruit of the barberry stimulate bile
secretion, aid in digestion, and promote healthy liver and gallbladder
function. Additionally, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic
properties, to name a few, make barberry an invaluable part of a treatment
program for a wide variety of disorders. Those with stubborn skin
infections or compromised digestive abilities may find barberry to be very
beneficial herb.
Directions
Stir 1/4 of a teaspoon into a glass of water and consume 3 times daily, with meals.
