Oregon Grape

More information on this plant

Oregon grape (*Mahonia spp.*) are medicinal plants valued for their potent antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. The root and bark contain berberine, a powerful alkaloid known for its ability to combat bacterial infections, support gut health, and promote a balanced microbiome. Oregon grape is commonly used to address digestive disorders such as dyspepsia, diarrhea, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Its antimicrobial properties also make it effective against fungal infections like candida, while its bile-stimulating effects support liver detoxification and improve digestion. Additionally, Oregon grape has been traditionally used to treat skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne, by reducing inflammation and soothing irritated skin.

Beyond its digestive and skin health benefits, Oregon grape supports immune function and promotes overall wellness. Its antioxidant properties help protect cells from oxidative stress, while its anti-inflammatory effects can alleviate symptoms of conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. It is often included in herbal blends for detoxification and immune support. While Oregon grape is generally considered safe, it should be used with caution during pregnancy or in combination with certain medications. Its diverse medicinal applications make it a valuable herb in both traditional and modern herbal medicine.
