Oregon Grape
- Stock #3395-9 (2 fl.oz.)
Oregon Grape has a direct action on the skin and was used by early American physicians to restore the skin to a clear, smooth condition following any type of skin disease or illness which dried the skin or caused sores, including acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Oregon grape also enhances the production of bile which assists the liver in eliminating stored toxins.
Oregon Grape is a good source of berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, which has been studied at length in both clinical and experimental environments for its antibacterial and amebicidal properties. Berberine has been shown to have a vast array of antibiotic effects, including activity against bacteria, protozoa, and fungi, including Candida albicans. In fact, berberine’s antibiotic effect against some of these pathogens has been shown to be stronger than that of many commonly-used prescription antibiotics. Furthermore, berberine possesses the ability to prevent bacteria and yeast overgrowth, a common side effect of pharmaceutical antibiotics, as well as relieve diarrhea which is often found in cases of chronic candidiasis. Clinical studies have documented positive results using berberine with amebic dysentery (Endamoeba histolytica), cholera (Vibrio cholerae), giardiasis (Giardia lamblia), and other cases of acute infection, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococci, and Streptococci. Studies also show the berberine activates the immune system by stimulating macrophages, white blood cells which devour harmful microorganisms. Furthermore, berberine exhibits a sedating action on the central nervous system.
