Scientific name: Berberis Vulgaris

Homeopathic strain in Korsakovian dilution 200 K, 1,000 K (or MK or 1MK)

Homeopathic origin and properties

Berberis Vulgaris comes from a thorny shrub called barberry, belonging to the Berberidaceae family. The plant parts mainly used in homeopathy are the dried roots and, more specifically, the bark. The Berberis mother tincture of this plant is made from these elements.

Indications and dosage

Homeopathic medicines in granule tubes or globular doses can be used for a variety of symptoms, so it's not possible to determine the indications and dosage of a specific preparation.

The homeopathic physician selects the appropriate medicine, dilution and dosage according to the patient's state of health and characteristic symptoms.

Berberis vulgaris, with its wide range of dilutions and recognized presence in the pharmacopoeia, is a valuable therapeutic option in homeopathic practice. Its plant origin and registration as a homeopathic medicine ensure its quality and reliability. Practitioners thus have a wide range of solutions to meet their patients' needs in a personalized way, based on the fundamental principles of homeopathy to promote health and well-being.

Therapeutic applications

Berberis Vulgaris is indicated for a variety of medical conditions:

Urinary lithiasis

• Symptoms: Back pain, burning, bruising in the kidneys, especially on the left side.
• Nature of urine: Variable quantity and appearance.

Specially indicated to treat urinary lithiasis, Berberis vulgaris is effective in both men and women. Typical symptoms of this pathology, such as back pain, burning or even variations in urine color, find notable relief with this remedy. It is also commonly used to treat associated male sexual complications, such as reduced libido and premature ejaculation.

Hepatovesicular disorders

• Symptoms: Labored digestion, nausea, thick saliva, postprandial somnolence, alternating constipation and diarrhea.

Used for its beneficial properties on the liver system, Berberis vulgaris is also recommended in cases of difficult digestion, persistent nausea and fluctuation between diarrhea and constipation. In women, urological disorders can extend to the vulva, causing pain during orgasm, also alleviated by this treatment.

Circinate dermatoses

• Examples: Pityriasis rosé de Gibert, ring or arc forms.

In dermatology, Berberis vulgaris is particularly effective in the treatment of circinate dermatoses and Gibert's pink pityriasis. Often manifested by itching, these skin conditions find relief with this versatile remedy.

Gout crisis

• Symptoms: Inflammation of joints, particularly the big toe.

Particularly effective in the management of rheumatic disorders, Berberis vulgaris regulates uric acid metabolism. This remedy is therefore prescribed in cases of joint pain associated with urinary inflammatory complications, often linked to overproduction of urea.

Lumbar and lumbosacral pain

• Affected area: Lumbar vertebrae and sacrum.

Directions for use

Remove tab, invert tube and pull cap slightly.
Turn the tube to drop the desired number of granules into the cap, then place the granules under the tongue.

Berberis Vulgaris 4 to 5 CH: Take 5 granules in the morning and at bedtime.

An individual approach to each condition

The efficacy of Berberis vulgaris in homeopathy is indisputable, but optimal use requires an appropriate dosage. Here are some guidelines for personalized dosing in different areas of application.

Dosage in Urology and Rheumatology

When Berberis vulgaris is used to treat urological or rheumatological disorders, the 5 CH formulation is often recommended. The general dosage is 5 granules, to be administered twice a day, morning and evening. It is important to continue treatment until a significant improvement in the patient's condition is achieved.

Dosage in Hepato-Gastro-Enterology

For hepato-gastroenterological disorders, the preferred formulation is Berberis vulgaris 6 DH. The recommended dosage is 20 drops diluted in a glass of water, to be taken morning and evening before meals. To maximize absorption, hold the solution in the mouth for a few seconds before swallowing. Treatment may last up to 3 months, depending on the severity of the condition. A gradual reduction in dosage is possible once improvements are noted. To treat specific hepatovesicular disorders, a combination with other homeopathic remedies may be required.

Dosage in Dermatology

For dermatological conditions, Berberis vulgaris can be used either as granules or drops. The standard dose for the granule formulation is 10 granules per day, divided into two doses. If you opt for the drop formulation, the recommended concentration is 6 DH, and 20 drops should be diluted in a little water.

Precautions for use

Warning

Contains sacchararose.

Store homeopathic medicines away from light, heat, moisture, fumes and fragrances.

Giving homeopathic granules to babies and children

For granules or alcoholic drops, dissolve in 100ml of water. Granules take a long time to dissolve, so it's best to prepare your mixture in advance.

Homeopathy and pregnancy

Homeopathic medicines have no chemical toxicity, no contraindications, no interaction with other drugs, and no adverse effects linked to the quantity of product ingested. Pregnant women can take homeopathic medicines with no known risk to themselves or their unborn child, but it is advisable to seek advice.

Frequency of homeopathic use

For acute conditions, homeopathic remedies should be taken every hour until symptoms improve. From then on, they should be taken 3 or 4 times a day, spaced out, and then gradually stopped.
For chronic conditions, low-dilution remedies (> 9CH) should be taken 1 or 2 times a day, while basic remedies should be taken once a week, or even once a month. This decision is left to the homeopath.

What to do if there is no improvement within 24 hours

Certain pathologies cannot be treated with homeopathy simply by self-medication. Their seriousness requires medical advice, which can be given by a homeopathic doctor. This doctor will judge whether your condition can be treated with homeopathy alone, or whether your treatment needs to be supplemented with allopathic medicine.
