According to Noack and Trinks, Berberis is principally suited 
to gastric, bilious, and venous hemorrhoidal constitutions, and to 
the choleric or choleric-sanguine temperament. It seems to act 
upon the venous system and mucous membranes, particularly 
the eyes and digestive organs. Berberis deserves particular 
attention when disease of a bilious character prevails as an epi- 
demic; also in acne; erythema intertrigo; urticaria; warts on 
the fingers; panaritia; chilblains; rheumatic fever; bilious 
gastric fever ; arthritic fever; yellow fever; febrile conditions 
characterised by internal heat and external coldness, or partial 
chilliness ; headache, particularly of the venous congestive kind, 
occasioned by derangements of the digestive functions, and ac- 
companied by rheumatic and arthritic affections ; catarrhal, rheu- 
matic, and arthritic ophthalmia. Erysipelatous angina faucium, 
particularly when accompanied with striking bilious affections ; 
affections of the liver; hepatitis, when occasioned by irritation 
from biliary calculi and from suppression of hemorrhoids; jaun- 
dice ; diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs ; hemorrhoidal 
affections ; dysmenorrhea ; lumbago; arthritic and rheumatic 
affections of the extremities ; arthritis nodosa.
