History

Xondis Kezeg’s life-changing encounter with Barberries occurred amidst excruciating pain from a poisonous wound that was ravaging his body and organs. In a desperate attempt to survive, he managed to collect nearby barberries and drop them into his kettle. After a brief boil, he took a sip, and momentarily, he lost consciousness. The following day, he awoke, slightly improved from the previous day. Determined to overcome the life-threatening ailment, he continued to boil the barberries and consumed the potion, leading to another brief fainting episode. Yet, his unwavering perseverance eventually led to his triumphant recovery, and the legacy of Barberries was forever etched in history.

Adding to their allure, pale pink flowers emerge from the plant, giving birth to oval pink, purple, and dark violet berries with subtle black spots. It may tower over two metres in height.

Special

As with any remedy, barberries may not prove effective for every patient. If administered without producing any discernible improvement within two weeks, it may indicate that the herb cannot alleviate the specific condition of the patient.
