What is Phellodendron?

Phellodendron is a plant. The bark is used to make medicine. Be careful not to confuse phellodendron with the houseplant called philodendron. The names are similar but the plants are unrelated.

Phellodendron is used for osteoarthritis, weight loss and obesity, diarrhea, ulcers in the stomach or upper part of the small intestine (peptic ulcers), diabetes, meningitis, pneumonia, eye infections, tuberculosis, and cirrhosis of the liver.

Some people apply phellodendron to the skin for psoriasis, to kill germs, and to reduce redness and swelling.

Berberine is able to activate an enzyme called Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase to fight against inflammation.

Berberine also plays a role in enhancing brown fat activity. Brown fat is a heat-generating type of fat that burns energy instead of storing it, and this may have important implications when it comes to weight loss.

Berberine was able to control blood sugar and lipid metabolism as effectively as metformin, with researchers describing berberine as a potent oral hypoglycemic agent.
