Smilax Medica
About
the Plant:
Sarsaparilla is native to Central and South America.
It is a ground-trailing vine which climbs by means of tendrils. The woody stems
have sharp prickles and the leaves are arrow-shaped. Small green-white flowers
grow from the leaf axis. The woody roots have a spicy-sweet taste.
Uses:
The Indians boiled the roots to make a tea which was used as a blood purifier.
Some tribes used the beaten roots mixed with oil as a cough medicine. In the mid
1800's many proprietary medicines contained sarsaparilla and it became a popular
ingredient for tonics. Sarsaparilla was widely used to treat syphilis until the
beginning of the twentieth century. Today, herbalists use sarsaparilla as a blood
purifying herb for the treatment of liver problems, rheumatism, and skin diseases
such as psoriasis. It also finds use in balancing the glandular system and improving
digestion.
Edgar Cayce Health Care Philosophy:
Edgar Cayce regarded sarsaparilla as a blood purifier and digestive aid. Sarsaparilla
was recommended in 356 readings between 1911 and 1944. Peak utilization was evident
in 1924 with a steep decline in usage thereafter.
