Barberry can be used to
treat UTI's and yeast infections
Barberry is rich natural source of berberine. Berberine is bright yellow and somewhat bitter, and has long been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects. This well known antiseptic photochemical, also found in goldenseal and Oregon grape, is used to treat a wide range of infections, ears, eyes, mouth, throat, staph and strep bacteria, each of which can commonly cause bacterial pinkeye. In fact Murine eye drops contain berberine as the active ingredient.
Other common infections that can effectively be treated by barberry include yeast and bladder infections, and skin disorders, especially those like psoriasis that can benefit from a liver tonic.
Barberry has been used in traditional herbal medicine since early Egyptian times, when it was combined with fennel seed to prevent plague and treat fevers. These traditional herbal uses for inflammation and fever confirm historically what science has now established in the laboratory: Compounds in these plants inhibit the COX-2 enzyme. Berberine-containing herbs thus offer significant medical benefits across the spectrum of diseases.

Barberry for :Yeast Infections, Candida albicans |
|
Yeast infection. Berberine exerts a threefold action against yeast infections, including yeast mastitis. It has a direct antibiotic effect on Candida albicans. It also inhibits bacterial infections, which, when treated with antibiotics, lead to the overgrowth of Candida albicans. Finally, it stimulates blood flow to the spleen, which releases compounds to stimulate the immune system. Berberine is particularly effective in activating macrophages, the immune cells that attack yeast infections. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) |

 Berberis was well known to the ancients as a medicine, a dietetic for the sick, and a dye. As a drug it was steeped in beer and given to patients suffering from jaundice, as well as to check hemorrhages. Its popular use as a remedy "barberry bark and cider” was held in all forms of abdominal inflammation, but especially those accompanied with hepatic derangement and jaundice.

 Mars owns the shrub, and presents it to the use of my countrymen to purge their bodies of choler. The inner rind of the Barberry-tree boiled in white wine, and a quarter of a pint drank each morning, is an excellent remedy to cleanse the body of choleric humours, and free it from such diseases as choler causes, such as scabs, itch, tetters, ring-worms, yellow jaundice, boils Nicholas Culpeper |
 Among the Italians, the Barberry bears the name of Holy Thorn, because it is thought to have formed part of the crown of thorns made for our Saviour. | |
