The name sarsaparilla comes from the Spanish word ‘sarza’ meaning ‘a bramble’, and ‘parilla’, a vine. The Spanish discovered sarsaparilla during their expeditions of the ‘new world’, and when it was brought back to Europe around 1563 where it quickly became used as a treatment for syphilis. The indigenous tribes of South America used it for treating skin complaints and for expelling parasites from the body. Culpeper says ‘It
helps all manner of aches in the sinews or joints, all running sores in the legs, phlegmatic swellings, tetters, or ringworms and all manner of spots and foulness of the skin.’ It may be useful for the treatment of psoriasis, dermatitis and for fertility.

Sarsparilla supports the production of anabolic hormones, one of which is testosterone. It also supports nerve tissue which is sometimes an issue in infertility.
