Barberry is native to most of Europe. This semi toxic, very thorny bush has also
been domesticate as hedges and garden bushes where nothing else would grow.
The Barberry berries are less toxic and often conserved as a rather acrid jam. All
of the Barberry plant is used for herbal purposes but it is mostly the berries,
Bark, leaves and roots that are harvested. Because of Barberry's mild toxic
properties Barberry should only be used by people that are familiar with
Barberry, uses and methods of extraction. Barberry side effects are many
and erroneous use could lead to harm as Barberry is toxic. It is essential that
Barberry is only used under medical supervision. See your doctor before using
this herb.
