Sarsaparilla plant
Sarsaparilla (Smilax) is a vine
native to tropical and temperate parts of the world and includes at least 200 hundred
species worldwide. It is native to South and Central America, along with many
islands in the Caribbean. Sarsaparilla is also found in India and parts of
China. Sarsaparilla has been used as an ingredient in root
beer and other beverages for its foaming properties.
Sarsaparilla root was used as a general
tonic by indigenous tribes in South America, where European traders found it and
introduced it into their culture in the 1400s.
Sarsaparilla as medicine
Sarsaparilla is often used to treat inflammatory skin conditions.
Smilax glabra is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine which has been
used clinically to prevent leptospirosis, to treat syphilis, and acute bacterial
dysentery. Sarsaparilla root has been used for centuries by the indigenous
peoples of Central and South America for sexual impotence, rheumatism, skin
ailments, and as a general tonic. Shamans in the Amazon use sarsaparilla root
internally and externally for leprosy and other inflammatory skin problems such
as psoriasis.
Constituents in Sarsaparilla
Sarsaparilla contains sarsasapogenin, sitosterol, stigmasterol, and
pollinastanol; and the saponins sarsasaponin, sarsaparilloside, among others.
Aphrodisiac Properties of Sarsaparilla
Sarsaparillla is used as a sex enhancer although hardly any studies are
available to confirm its potential as a sex booster.
