Sarsaparilla Tea

Sarsaparilla was introduced from Jamaica into European medicine in the middle of 16th century as a cure for syphilis.

It is high in selenium, chromium, cobalt, iron and zinc; it also contains significant amounts of calcium and magnesium.

Sarsaparilla is an anti-inflammatory, cleansing herb that stimulates the kidneys to flush deposits and clear toxins, and promotes sweating to resolve fevers and release harmful pathogens.

Science has validated the use of sarsaparilla against diseases that are aggravated by endotoxins.
For example, individuals suffering from psoriasis have high levels of endotoxins in their blood.
A clinical study of psoriasis patients found that an extract of sarsaparilla improved the symptoms in 62 per cent of the patients.

As a result of its diuretic and diaphoretic action sarsaparilla cleanses the body, it is also thought to help balance hormones.
Sarsaparilla act on acne by normalizing androgen levels, high levels being a common cause of acne in young people.
With potent lymph and blood cleansers, this herbal blend effectively detoxifies the body and reduces bacteria levels and inflammation that result from acne.

A recommended dosage for sarsaparilla is two or three times a day as a tea or a liquid extract. You can make your tea; simply soak 1,000 mg to 4,000 mg (one gram to 4 grams) of chopped or shredded dried root for 10 minutes in about 8 ounces of hot water, and then filter before drinking.

Alternatively, I suggest you Sarsaparilla Root Tea Bags.



The best way to make a good tasting cup of tea is by the infusion method. Place one tea bag into a cup and add no more than 6 oz. of boiling water. Let steep for 3 minutes and remove the bag. Press the bag before removing to enhance the flavor. Add honey to sweeten.

No adverse effects from the use of this tea have been reported.
