Berberis aristata (Sanskrit: dāruharidrā) is the name of a medicinal plant used in Ayurveda to promote skin care and enhance the beauty of the skin (varṇya).—Berberis aristata is traditionally documented as skin complexion promoter similar to haridrā. A number of alkaloids have been found in dāruharidrā viz. bereberine [berberine?], oxycanthine, palmatine, epiberberine, karachine, dehydrocaroline, taximaline etc, with the major constituent being berberine having a yield of 2.34%. Antioxidant potential of 50% aqueous ethanolic root extract of dāruharidrā is well documented. Methanolic extract of this herb has shown 20.80% mean tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Both the facts support its varṇya property.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
