Herb of the Day Campaign: Barberry | Berberis vulgaris

Herb a day Campaign: Today it’s Barberry. This herb is such a good one when you need to stimulate the digestive system. It is a bitter, which is why it’s so good at its job. When you take it, it wakes up the body. Gets activity happening the in stomach, bowels, pancreas. Berberine is one of the active constituents that has been shown to boost the immune system and for some it even allows the pancreas to become more sensitive to insulin. (That’s a good thing). I love to use it in formulas for the blood and skin health as well. This is an herb that would be great in your “herb cabinet”. And, if you don’t have one of those then what cha waiting for? #herbs #barberry #naturalhealing #masterherbalist #herbadaycampaign #herbsman! #herbalist #tea #herbalteas Photo: Dandy Lion Emporium (Dusti Gregory)
