Berberis Aquifolium is an evergreen 1-2 m high bush, of the berberry family (Berberidaceae). It is widespread in the forests of the North American Pacific Coast. In Europe, it is cultivated in gardens and parks.

The tincture of Berberis Aquifolium has long been used in homoeopathy for the treatment of inflammatory, scaling dermatoses. It is prepared from the root and contains various alkaloids, including berberine, berbamin, and hydrastine. They have antipsoriatic, antiphlogistic, and antimicrobial activities. Topi Berberis Cream contains 10% of Berberis aquifolium MT.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease of the skin, which often persists lifelong. The skin shows typical erythematous plaques, sometimes adherent or confluent, covered with white or silvery shiny scales usually without itching. The lesions can cover the whole body, but typically they are located on knees, elbows, head, and eyebrows. The cause of psoriasis is found in disturbances in the normal development of skin-forming cells. The lifetime of epidermal keratinocytes is shortened, leading to increased proliferation and various histological changes in the epidermis.

The aetiology of psoriasis is still not completely clarified. Meanwhile, genetic predisposition has been proven scientifically. The course of the psoriatic condition is extremely heterogeneous and both its initial eruption as well as the frequency of recurrences are generally influenced by various internal & external factors such as anxiety or stress, metabolic & hormonal dysfunction, drugs, etc.

Topi Berberis Cream alleviates the symptoms and supports the healing process of psoriatic lesions. It is suitable especially for the subacute and chronic phases and it can be used for stabilization during symptom-free periods. The cream has a positive influence on other forms of dry skin diseases, e.g. dry eczemas.

Acne: Acne vulgaris (common acne) is a frequently seen disorder of the sebaceous glands of the skin, which lie beside every hair follicle and produce an oily secretion called sebum. It is usually found where sebaceous glands are most active such as on the face, neck, and upper trunk.
