Berberine has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine systems. Its use dates back to at least 3000 years ago in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine.
In Ayurvedic medicine, plants containing berberine such as Berberis aristata (tree turmeric) have been used to treat dysentery and other digestive issues, as well as in topical applications for skin conditions.
