Nature's Sunshine Sarsaparilla Capsules 420mg Qty 100

Traditionally, Sarsaparilla was used by the Mexicans for treating skin disorders, such as acne and itchy skin due to its "alterative" like properties. It is believed that Sarsparilla is effective in relieving joint inflammation by increasing the elimination of uric acid from the system.

The name ‘Sarsaparilla’ is derived from the Spanish words ‘sarza’ for shrub or bramble, and ‘parilla’ for little vine. It has been used commercially as a foaming agent in root beer and for flavouring in food products such as frozen dairy desserts, candy and baked goods. It was not uncommon for cowboys in old Western movies who didn’t want whisky to order Sarsaparilla, which was a popular beverage in the times before modern soft drinks.

Sarsaparilla displays a number of different actions. It contains compounds that have a diuretic action. It is also an alterative and helps to cleanse the blood. These properties make it useful in a variety of skin conditions, especially those of a chronic nature.
