Description
Berberis increases the production of bile and improves its flow from the gallbladder into the digestive tract, lessening the tendency for the stored bile to stagnate and thicken. It is used for gallstones due to this positive effect on bile flow. It is also anti-infective and antibiotic making it useful in digestive complaints where infection may be present. Berberis may stimulate the spleen and pancrease as well as cleansing and protecting the membranous lining of the digestive tract.
