Urinary tract infections can be frustrating and downright painful. While antibiotics are the most common treatment, they aren't the only answer...
BARBERRY
Helping to treat infections and
diarrhea
for centuries...
A traditional cure for infections and diarrhea.
Barberry (Berberis vulgaris) is an evergreen shrubs that is often grown for ornamental purposes. It has been used for more than 2,500 years around the world in herbal healing. It is used in First Nation folk medicine to treat diarrhea, reduce fever, improve appetite, relieve upset stomach and improve sense of wellbeing. In Iran, it is currently used for gallbladder problems and for heartburn. Recent research has established the water extract to have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular and neural systems, which is likely due to its
berberine
content.
Anti-infection
Barberry and Goldenseal are often used for similar purposes since they both contain the active constituent berberine. Much like Goldenseal, Barberry is used to treat infections of all sorts: urinary tract, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract. A recent 2011 study found that Barberry extract helps to suppress the virus that causes genital
warts
(HPV) and promotes apoptosis (programmed cell suicide) in cervical cell growths.
Kidney & Bladder Health
Infections of the urinary tract are quite common, especially in women. Infections usually begin when bacteria colonize the bladder lining and cause inflammation (cystitis). The infection may spread up into the kidney causing nephritis or to the prostate causing prostatitis.
Interstitial cystitis
is a chronic infection between the bladder lining and muscular layer. Its exact cause is unknown but it is usually non-infectious and occurs subsequent to several cystitis episodes.
Factors that predispose an individual to bladder infections are poor hygiene, the use of perfumed of coloured hygiene products, antibiotic use, oral contraceptive use, catheter use, sexually transmitted diseases, stress and poor nutrition.
Symptoms of cystitis are urinary frequency and urgency with burning pain on urination. Emptying the bladder may not relieve the symptoms. The urine may be cloudy or "coke coloured", due to the presence of blood. Lab testing of the urine reveals the presence of bacteria. Symptoms can be mild, with gradual onset or severe, with a quick onset. Fever and lower back pain signal that the kidney is affected. The symptoms of interstitial cystitis are the same but are usually recurring and lab testing is negative for bacteria.
