Sarsaparilla?s Progesterone Effect Sarsaparilla also has a tradition of use in various women?s health concerns and was rumored to have a progesterone-like effect.
Sarsaparilla?s Anti-Inflammatory Effects Sarsaparilla also contains phytosterols, such as beta-sitosterol, which may contribute to the anti-inflammatory effect of this herb. Reports have shown anti-inflammatory [16] and liver-protecting [17] effects for this herb. Similar reports on the effect of sarsaparilla on psoriasis occur in early European literature. [18]
Eleuthero (Ginseng) for Immune Support Siberian Ginseng (also called eleuthero). Eleuthero may be useful as a preventive measure during the cold and flu season. Preliminary evidence also suggests that eleuthero may prove valuable in the long-term management of various diseases of the immune system, including HIV infection and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Eleuthero for Adrenals and Energy Eleuthero is an ?adaptogen? (an agent that helps the body adapt to stress). It is thought to help support adrenal gland function when the body is challenged by stress. [4] Eleuthero has been shown to enhance mental acuity and physical endurance without the letdown that comes with caffeinated products. [5] Research has shown that eleuthero improves the use of oxygen by the exercising muscle. [6] This means that a person is able to maintain aerobic exercise longer and recover from workouts more quickly.
Eleuthero for Detoxification Eleuthero may also support the body by helping the liver detoxify harmful toxins. It has shown a protective action in animal studies against chemicals such as ethanol, sodium barbital, tetanus toxoid, and chemotherapeutic agents. [10]
False Unicorn for Female Health The medicinal use of false unicorn root is based in traditional Native American herbalism. It was recommended for many women?s health conditions, including dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) and other irregularities of menstruation, as well as to prevent miscarriages. [19] False unicorn was also used as a remedy for morning sickness.
Antioxidant and Anti-Viral Licorice may also have antiviral properties, although this has not been proven in human pharmacological studies.
