Sasaparilla: Natural Testosterone for men (and women too)

Postby admin_pornrev » Sun Feb 07, 2010 3:16 pm

A man’s testosterone level naturally starts to decline in his 40s. However, some men in this age group may experience more rapid declines in testosterone,
to levels well below normal.

Low testosterone can result in reduced strength, increased body fat, depressed mood and low sex drive. It can affect your physical, psychological and sexual health.





SARSAPARILLA

Did you know…?

Sarsaparilla has long been used as a blood purifier and tonic that boosts stamina and energy. Although there is no definitive evidence, many body-builders strongly maintain that Sarsaparilla (or Smilax) helps to build Muscle mass, while avoiding the harmful side effects of anabolic steroids. Sarsaparilla is considered a fine tonic herb, an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and the herb may even act as an aphrodisiac. Perhaps this is the reason that the "Good Guys" of the Old West, who disdained whiskey in favor of Sarsaparilla, always seemed to have that extra edge.

Facts:
Sarsaparilla contains vitamins A, B-complex, C and D. Also the minerals iron, manganese, sodium, silicon, sulfur, copper, Zinc, and iodine. It contains the amino acids methionine and cysteine.
It also contains diogenin, a saprogen which in turn contains the female hormone progesterone and the male hormone testosterone. Sarsaparilla helps strengthen the nerve fibers and tissues of the brain, spinal cord, lungs, and throat. Sarsaparilla is especially good for removing heavy metallic contaminants from the blood, which are received through the nostrils in the foul, smog-filled air of urban areas. Sarsaparilla root, which contains testosterone, will help hair regrow.

History:
Sarsaparilla is a woody, perennial, climbing vine, native to the rain forests of Central and South America, Jamaica and Caribbean regions, and also grows in other temperate zones such as Southeast Asia and Australia. The root is long and tuberous and supports a ground-trailing evergreen vine that may reach fifty feet in length, and the fragrance of the root (which has been used for centuries in herbal medicine) is spicy-sweet and it has a pleasant taste. Its name is derived from two Spanish words, sarza, meaning "bramble" and parilla, meaning "vine."

The indigenous tribes of Central and South America used Sarsaparilla for centuries for sexual impotence, rheumatism, skin ailments and as a tonic for physical weakness. New World traders of the 1400s and 1500s soon discovered and adopted the herb and introduced it into European society, where physicians there considered it afine tonic, blood purifier, diuretic and diaphoretic, as well as a strong remedy for syphilis and other sexually-transmitted diseases. Since that time, Sarsaparilla has gained popularity for its medicinal effects, and it became registered as an official herb in the United States

Pharmacopoeia as a treatment for syphilis from 1820 to 1910. Some of the constituents included in Sarsaparilla are beta-sitosterol, starch, fatty acids, calcium, cetyl-alcohol, chromium, cobalt, Glucose, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, resin, saponin, silicon, sitosterol-d glucoside, tin, Zinc, B-vitamins and vitamins A, C and D.

Conditions:
Sarsaparilla is considered to be a fine tonic and blood purifier that is said to attack and neutralize toxins (including environmental poisons) in the blood. In addition, the herb also promotes urination and sweating; and that action is believed to further rid the body of toxins through bodily secretions. It also helps to cool the body and break intermittent fevers.

As an antibacterial, Sarsaparilla has been used internally and externally to counteract infections of all kinds. Internally, the herb is said to attack microbial substances in the blood and also counteract Urinary Tract Infections. It was used for centuries as a treatment for syphilis, gonorrhea, and other sexually transmitted diseases, being officially listed in both the United States Pharmacopoeia and the United States Dispensatory for those ailments. Externally, it is said to treat psoriasis, leprosy, boils, abscesses, skin diseases, wounds and Eczema. Conventional medicine recognized Sarsaparilla's value in treating skin conditions in the 1940s, when The New England Journal of Medicine officially praised it for treating psoriasis.

Sarsaparilla is an anti-inflammatory that is believed to ease rheumatism, Arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Because of its diuretic properties, the stimulation of urine production increases the excretion of uric Acid, which also helps to relieve Gout; and although it does not relieve acute cases of Gout, its use may prevent attacks when taken over a period of weeks or months.

There is much mystique and controversy surrounding Sarsaparilla's hormonal properties in both men and women. In men, the herb is said to stimulate production of natural hormones (testosterone), which may help to restore both sexual interest and erectile function. This action is different from many other male aphrodisiacs that act by increasing blood to the Penis, which also carries the risk of creating high Blood pressure. In women, hormonal production is also said to be encouraged, which may not only boost diminished sex drive, but may also help to alleviate the symptoms of menopause.

Bodybuilders claim that the natural steroidal glycosides in Sarsaparilla help to build Muscle mass, while avoiding the harmful side effects of anabolic steroids, although there are no clinical results to prove this. Additionally, they maintain that use of the herb boosts energy and stamina, and eases the inflammatory conditions brought about by strenuous exercise.

Sarsaparilla is said to be a fine tonic and "alterative," an agent that may favorably alter an unhealthy condition of the body with the tendency to restore normal bodily function. The herb is also thought to help keep the glandular system in balance.

Diaphoretic - an agent which increases perspiration.

Diuretic - Diuretics form a class of drugs which increase the volume of urine produced by the kidneys. It can be used effectively to treat mild cases of edema when kidney function is good and when the underlying abnormality of cardiac function, capillary pressure, or salt retention is being corrected simultaneously. Diuretics are not an appropriate treatment for edema caused by inflammation of the kidneys, and are useless in cardiac edema associated with advanced kidney insufficiency. There are a variety of diuretics with different modes of action. Among the diuretics are spironolactones, triamterene, and theobromine.

Tonic - an agent which strengthens or tones.

Sarsaparilla is a valuable herb used in glandular balance formulae. It increases the metabolic rate. Sarsaparilla contains the male hormone testosterone, which aids hair growth, and progesterone, the hormone produced by the ovaries. It increases blood circulation to rheumatic joints and stimulates breathing.

It is primarily effective in the delicate nerve fibers and tissues of the brain, spinal cord, lungs, and throat. For fevers and pulmonary distress, it is useful when taken with other herbs. For multiple sclerosis it offers some therapeutic relief, although not a cure. Plant alkaloids in this herb are behaviorally similar to spikenard. Their molecular structure allows them to penetrate and soften dense masses of hardened material, as is the case with multiple sclerosis. The alkaloid molecules also attach themselves to germicidal microbes and weaken them.

Used with other ingredients, the saponins in this herb help the body absorb other drugs, and have anti-inflammatory effects on certain body tissues. Sarsaparilla is also useful in treating mercury poisoning.

Dried sarsaparilla root contains sarsasaponin (from which the steroid sarsaspogenin is obtained), smilacin (parillin), paroaparic acid, resin, and volatile oil. Sarsaspogenin is also found in large quantities in the yucca species. The drug is nearly odorless, but has a bittersweet taste. Saponins make sarsaparilla liquid extract froth readily; it is these strong, soapy compounds which give sarsaparilla the clinical reputation for very effective treatment of psoriasis, rheumatism, syphilis, and other skin and venereal diseases.

For syphilis and virulent gonorrhea, sarsaparilla works better when combined with other herbs such as sassafras and burdock root. Used clinically for the treatment of syphilis it was rated 90% effective by Chinese physicians, though no controlled studies have been carried out in Western laboratories or clinics.

Toxicity Levels
Sarsaparilla has been categorized as nothing more than a mild gastric irritant due to its high saponin content.

DRUG PRECAUTIONS AND INTERACTIONS
Known Interactions - None.

Possible Interactions - The tannin in sarsaparilla may potentiate the antibiotic activity of echinacea. The tannin in tea made from the herb may be inactivated by the addition of milk or cream.
