Barberry Root often taste bitter but for Secrets of the Tribe brand of tincture, their blend is always excellent. I love tinctures as they taste good, are alcohol free and liquids work better for me.

Best Pain Relief
I have been taking Barberry Root capsules off and on for a couple of years now. I have severe allergies, so sometimes swallowing the capsules is challenging.
However, when I'm not taking my Barberry Root, I KNOW IT! I'm not sure if I have RA (or some other immune deficiency) or just old age, lol (I'm only 44). I really struggle, physically, when I forget to take Barberry Root for a couple of days, or if I can't due to allergies, so I am going to repurchase this tincture.
The tincture has a bitter-herb flavor. If you can't stand bitter, buy the capsules. I don't mind the bitter, and have actually come to enjoy it, knowing that it is helping my body.
I also find that splitting the dose into 2 daily doses works very well for me. I take all my herbs this way, and find I receive the same benefits as if I took them three times daily.
As a Christian, I believe God put all these herbs here for our benefit and healing. I am thankful for the quality of herbs provided by Secrets of the Tribe, even if they don't believe the same way I and my family do. Thank you, SotT for providing superior herbs.

A wonderful remedy for intestinal irritation.
My son has been suffering from colic pains and so I made sure he took this three times a day. He is feeling better and his bloating issues have also decreased. Glad I picked this up.
