Sarsaparilla Tincture (1 : 4)

Sarsaparilla (Smilax glabra) tincture made from the roots

What is Sarsaparilla?

Sarsaparilla is originally native to the Americas and southern China. This climbing plant from the Smilax family can reach lengths of up to 50 meters. With its small flowers and berries ranging from red to black, it offers a fascinating appearance. Yet, as is often the case in life, the true value of the plant lies beyond what the human eye can see. Sarsaparilla contains a fascinating spectrum of important compounds that already attracted attention in medieval folk medicine.

For the production of our tincture, we use the ground roots according to traditional herbal knowledge. The roots are carefully milled and processed to preserve their valuable properties, so you can benefit from the full richness of the plant’s natural compounds.

The secret knowledge of medieval folk medicine

Although Sarsaparilla is originally native to the Americas, the plant found its way into European folk medicine during the Middle Ages. In the 16th century, Smilax glabra was considered a highly valuable tonic used to improve general well-being. Its invigorating qualities were so highly regarded at the time that medieval physicians praised it as an excellent blood purifier.

In its native regions, the Smilax vine had been used much earlier. Indigenous peoples of the Americas employed Sarsaparilla to support the stomach, kidneys, urinary tract, skin, and respiratory system.

Sarsaparilla contains valuable constituents such as phytosterols (stigmasterol, sitosterol), resins, saponins, steroidal saponins (parillin, sarsaparin), and starch.
