Sarsaparilla is an age-old remedy used as a blood purifier and tonic that boosts stamina and energy. It is thought to help to build muscle mass while avoiding the harmful side effects of anabolic steroids. Considered a mild tonic, an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and it may even act as an aphrodisiac.
This is a natural herb that has been used in connection with liver disease and syphilis. Although it is most commonly used in connection with eczema, psoriasis, and other skin disorders.
It is said to attack and neutralize toxins, including environmental poisons, in the blood and also promotes urination and sweating. Sarsaparilla helps to cool the body and break intermittent fevers. Sarsaparilla, as an antibacterial, has been used internally and externally to counteract infections of all kinds. When taken internally, it is said to attack microbial substances in the blood and also counteract urinary tract infections, and it was used for centuries as a treatment for syphilis, gonorrhea, and other sexually transmitted diseases. It has been listed in both the United States Pharmacopoeia and the United States Dispensatory for those ailments. When used externally, it is said to treat psoriasis, leprosy, boils, abscesses, skin diseases, wounds, and eczema.
As an anti-inflammatory, it is believed to ease rheumatism, arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. The diuretic properties of the herb are thought to stimulate urine production and increase the excretion of uric acid, which also helps to relieve gout, it will not relieve acute cases of gout but its use may prevent attacks when taken over a period of weeks or months.
Sarsaparilla carries some controversy surrounding its hormonal properties in both men and women. The herb is said to stimulate the production of natural hormones (testosterone) in men, which may help to restore both sexual interest and erectile function. And this action is different from many other male aphrodisiacs that act by increasing blood to the penis, which also carries the risk of creating high blood pressure. It also raises hormonal production in women, which may boost diminished sex drive, and may also help to alleviate the symptoms of menopause.
This herb has been beneficial for bodybuilders because the use of the Sarsaparilla boosts energy and stamina, and eases the inflammatory conditions brought on by strenuous exercise.
Sarsaparilla is commonly used in herbal preparations as a synergist, as it has been reported to facilitate the body's absorption of other drugs and phytochemicals, which accounts for its use in herbal formulas as an agent for bioavailability and to enhance the power and effect of other herbs.

Plant Spirit Medicine is a form of spiritual remediation rooted in ancestral traditions that combines classical Chinese~ Five Element theory, the indigenous practice of calling upon plant spirits, and the Animism religion (the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena.) Plant Spirit Medicine recognizes that like humans, plants have spirit, and their spirit has the unique capacity to touch and rebuild the spirit of a human being and restore us to our own essential nature. Our ancestors lived this way–-an existence in which there is no illusion of separation from nature. They would make friends with the spirits of nature and call upon them for restoration and other everyday affairs. This ancient practice was remembered, revitalized, and reintroduced by the late teacher and healer, Eliot Cowan, and has proven to be as effective in today’s world as in times past.
Modern people are once again turning to plants for guidance and for their ability to regenerate spirit.
