Barberry root (Berberis vulgaris), known as sowberry or pepperidge, is a tart, cooling herb from the Berberidaceae family, its golden roots prized for their berberine and Vitamin C content. Revered for over 2,500 years in Ayurvedic and European herbal traditions, this bitter, sour herb supports healthy digestion through its cholagogue action, promoting bile flow, and may aid metabolic wellness with its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities. Studied for supporting balanced blood sugar, it’s a cornerstone of traditional practices. Not recommended for extended use by those with anemia or hypothyroidism, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential risks. Consult a healthcare professional before use.
