Sarsaparilla is packed full of natural chemicals that benefit the body. It has excellent anti-inflammatory properties and mild anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties as well. Due to its power as an anti-inflammatory, Sarsaparilla is often used to treat sources of joint pain and gout, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
It is incorporated into herbal mixed because it improves the bioavailability of other herbs.
Further indications of Sarsaparilla include treating gout, gonorrhea, syphilis, open wounds, cough, fever, hypertension, pain, indigestion, and to purify blood.
Indian Sarsaparilla is a different plant entirely and does not contain the same beneficial compounds.
