FAQs
Daru Haldi, also known as Daruharidra, Indian Barberry, and Tree Turmeric, belongs to the Berberidaceae family — it is a completely different plant from regular turmeric (Curcuma longa). While regular turmeric gets its properties from curcumin, Daru Haldi's power comes from berberine — a distinct alkaloid with its own set of researched benefits for blood sugar, liver, and skin. Do not use them interchangeably.
The root bark of Berberis aristata is rich in berberine and isoquinoline alkaloids — both of which are anti-fungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-diabetic, anti-tumour, and anti-inflammatory in nature. This makes Daru Haldi one of the broadest-spectrum herbal powders in Ayurveda — addressing skin, liver, blood sugar, eyes, and immunity through a single active compound.
