Dosage Of Barberry
A Barberry formulation, such as the one mentioned below, can be taken at the rate of 1 capsules, or 15 drops, 3 times a day. A 3 month course is often about right.

For digestive conditions, Barberry is often combined with other bitter herbs, such as Gentian, in tincture form. Such mixtures are taken 15 to 20 minutes before a meal, usually 2-5 ml each time.

An ointment made from a 10% extract of Barberry can be applied to the skin three times per day.

A tea/infusion can be prepared using 2 grams of the herb in a cup of boiling water. This can be repeated two to three times daily.

For a decoction, put l teaspoonful of the bark into a cup of cold water and bring to the boil. Leave for l0-l5 minutes. This should be taken three times a day.
 

Combinations
In gall-bladder diseases Barberry combines well with Fringe Tree Bark and Black Root. A combination can also be made with Barberry, Wild Yam, Dandelion, Cramp Bark, Peppermint, Catnep, Fennel and Ginger. This valuable formulation will generally support the liver if continued for 3 months or so. It is also available as part of a 90-day Liver Programme, which includes two additional products and a useful pamphlet.

Cautions
Avoid Barberry if pregnant or nursing.
