Product details
Product images are for illustration. Manufacturers update their packaging from time to time, so the pack you receive may look a little different. Always read the label on the product itself.
Berberis vulgaris, also known as common barberry or European barberry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Berberidaceae.
The bark has a long history of traditional use in herbal practice as an astringent, bitter herb, valued in support of normal digestive function. It contains berberine, one of the most widely studied plant alkaloids.
Pharma Germania Barberry Bark comes crushed, ready for use in herbal tea preparations. Because bark releases its compounds slowly, it is best prepared as a decoction (see below).
How to make a good cup of herbal tea
Tea made from botanic material (leaves, seeds, flowers etc.) is called herbal tea. It can be made from fresh or dried material and divided into infusions (tisanes) and decoctions. The quantity of herb required for a cup of tea is usually between 1 and 2 teaspoons — please see the information leaflet inside every box for more specific guidance.
Infusion / tisane (leaves, flowers or powders): take the required quantity of herbs and place in one cup of boiled water. Steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and drink hot or cold.
Decoction (roots, seeds or barks): take the required quantity of herbs and place in 500ml of water. Bring to the boil on the stove and remove from heat. Let it steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and drink hot or cold. The material can be mashed to extract the compounds and oils.
Mixtures of various herbs: if a mixture of two or more herbs has been made, use a teaspoon of the mixture when making your tea. The tea can be sweetened with honey if so desired.
