Synopsis

Oregon grape is a medicinal herb traditionally used in Western herbalism for its antimicrobial, liver-supportive, and digestive-stimulating properties. The root contains the alkaloid berberine, known for its broad-spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic effects. Oregon grape is often used as a natural alternative for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as for gut infections and liver detoxification. It promotes bile flow and supports the health of the gastrointestinal tract and skin.
