Other Names: Smilax Aristolochiifolia

The herb Smilax is named after the beautiful nymph Smilax, who, according to mythology, was loved by the Spartan Crocus. The main properties of Smilax Sarsaparilla are as follows:

• Detoxifies the liver from toxins, combats free radicals, and cleanses the blood.
• Beneficial for psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, and acne.

Sarsaparilla contains numerous phytochemicals believed to have beneficial effects on the human body. The chemicals known as saponins may help reduce joint pain and skin itching and also kill bacteria. Other chemicals may assist in reducing inflammation and protecting the liver from damage.

One of the most traditional uses of Smilax was to increase libido in both men and women in an effort to boost fertility.

Sarsaparilla is used as a diuretic, which means it stimulates urination in those who consume it. For people looking to cleanse their bodies or detoxify in some way, a diuretic can eliminate excess fats, salts, toxins, and water from the body.

If you suffer from any type of inflammation, such as gout, arthritis, or even muscle and joint pain, the active ingredients in sarsaparilla can help alleviate these pains.
