Berberis vulgaris essential oil for medicinal use

Berberis vulgaris essential oil is a concentrated aromatic extract derived from the Berberis vulgaris plant, commonly known as barberry.
It is obtained through steam distillation of the plant's bark, leaves, and roots, and contains bioactive compounds like berberine. In herbalism, this oil is used for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties. It is traditionally applied topically to treat skin infections and insect bites, and internally in diluted form to support digestive health.
However, it should be used with caution due to its potency and potential for toxicity if misused.
