Berberine is highly anti-microbial and has traditionally been used by herbalist “to kill any infection it can touch.” Berberine as a bitter may stimulate bile flow and increase digestion. Bitter herbs are thought to stimulate digestive function by increasing saliva production and promoting both stomach acid and digestive enzyme production.
