Berberine

Berberine is a chemical found in several plants including European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, phellodendron, and tree turmeric.
People take berberine for heart failure.
Some people apply berberine directly to the skin to treat burns and to the eye to treat trachoma, a bacterial infection that frequently causes blindness.

How does it work?

Berberine might cause stronger heartbeats. It also might also be able to kill bacteria

Effective For : 

·         Burns. 

·         Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) :  Berberine might reduce some of the symptoms and lower death rate in some people with congestive heart failure.

Trachoma : There is some evidence that eye drops containing berberine might be useful for treating trachoma, a common cause of blindness in developing countries
