Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) is a bush native to Europe, North Africa and now grows wild in many regions of North America. It is traditionally used to make jams and jellies. But the herb also has a long history as a folk remedy for digestive disorders, including constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, heartburn, and loss of appetite. It was also used typically to treat skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and minor wounds.

The active compound in barberry appears to be a phytochemical (alkaloid) called berberine. The alkaloids in barberry are found in the root and stem bark of the plant. The benefit from barberry likely relies on the fact that it contains berberine, for which medical uses are being established. Berberine is a chemical compound found in several plants, including barberry. Research shows that applying a gel containing berberine can reduce pain, redness, oozing, and the size of ulcers in people with canker sores. Berberine seems to slightly reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. The results of one pilot study on 84 patients published in 2008 suggest that taking 500 mg of berberine two to three times a day for up to three months might control blood sugar as effectively as metformin. In addition, berberine showed a favorable influence on cholesterol.

Barberry enthusiasts recommend to use in sauce, jelly, juice, wine, or tea. You can also try substituting some of it for raisins or cranberries when baking (barberries taste sourer). Barberries (also called zereshk) can also be purchased at Mediterranean or Middle Eastern grocers, some health-food shops, or on the Internet. To maintain color and quality, be sure to refrigerate the berries.
