Barberries Dried

What are dried barberries?

The barberry bush (Berberis vulgaris) is from Europe and North Africa, but it now grows wild in many parts of North America. Traditionally, jams and jellies are made from the barberry's berries. But people have also used the herb for a very long time to treat digestive issues like constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, heartburn, and appetite loss. It was thought to speed up the flow of bile, so it was used to treat problems with the liver and gallbladder. It was also put on the skin to treat eczema, psoriasis, acne, and small cuts and wounds.

How do I use dried barberries?

Because European barberries may be rather sour, they are usually not eaten raw without some kind of seasoning. The mellowed sourness of dried or cooked barberries is a great addition to cereals and meat recipes alike.

Barberries dried benefits:

Barberry has been used as a medicine for more than 2,500 years. It has been used in traditional Indian medicine to treat diarrhea, lower fever, increase appetite, calm an upset stomach, boost energy and make people feel better.

◉ Diabetes: People with diabetes may have a little less blood sugar when they take berberine. One pilot study that looked at 84 people and was published in 2008 suggests that taking 500 mg of berberine two to three times a day for up to three months might control blood sugar as well as metformin, the first-line drug for type 2 diabetes. 4 Also, berberine had a positive effect on cholesterol, while metformin had almost no effect at all. The authors of a review article from 2015 said, "Because there isn't much evidence of berberine's side effects, it is seen as a possible candidate drug for treating type 2 diabetes."

◉ High Cholesterol: There are some early signs that berberine can help people with high cholesterol lower their cholesterol levels. People with high cholesterol who take 500 mg of berberine twice a day for three months seem to have lower levels of total cholesterol, LDL or "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides. In another clinical trial, 63 people with high cholesterol were put into three different groups at random. The first group was given 1,000 milligrams of berberine every day. The second group was given 20 milligrams of the prescription drug simvastatin every day. The third group was given both berberine and simvastatin. The LDL levels of those who were given berberine dropped by 24%, those who were given simvastatin dropped by 14%, and those who were given both simvastatin and berberine dropped by 32%.

◉ Congestive heart failure: Berberine could help people with congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart muscle doesn't pump enough blood. In a study, 156 people with congestive heart failure took between 1.2 and 2 grams of berberine every day. They were able to work out more and their hearts were pumping blood better.

◉ Can help fight acne: Barberry extract might help people who have acne. Teenagers with moderate to severe acne took 600 mg of barberry extract for four weeks as part of a study. They had a lot less skin damage than people who took a placebo.
