Top 6 in Top 8 Health Benefits of Barberries
Barberry extract has been found in animal trials to be anti-inflammatory. This is most likely due to berberine's potent anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, it may aid in the treatment of inflammatory dental illnesses such as gingivitis, which is characterized by plaque buildup, swelling, and gum irritation.
In one research of 45 boys aged 11 to 12, administering barberry dental gel for 21 days decreased plaque and gingivitis substantially more than a placebo. The study also found that barberry gel was more effective than regular anti-plaque toothpaste, but the difference was not statistically significant. These findings imply that barberry treatments may benefit tooth health, but additional research is needed.
