Sarsaparilla root (Smilax officinalis) is classified as a detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and adaptogenic herb. It has been traditionally used to promote overall health, support liver function, and help cleanse the body of toxins. Sarsaparilla is also known for its ability to improve skin health, especially in cases of conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. It is thought to support hormone balance and has been used as a remedy for joint pain and inflammation due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Sarsaparilla root is commonly consumed as a tea, tincture, or supplement to aid in detoxification, support healthy skin, and promote general well-being.
