Barberry
Barberry comes from the roots, wood, and bark of Mahonia vulgaris, which is a landscape scrub native to Europe and some parts of North America. The plants have edible, red-orange, fruitlike berries. The rootwood of the barberry plant gets its bright golden-yellow color from the berberine, which is added to some eyewashes and eyedrops. Most people use this herb as an eye astringent and for cough, diarrhea, fever, and jaundice. Barberry can be obtained as a tablet, liquid, extract, or as a tea.
