Info On the herb Yucca

[Guest guest]

Yucca is also known by the names Spanish Bayonet, Guardian Of The

Desert, Needle Palm, and Soapweed. Yucca, a member of the lily

family, grows in abundance throughout the Southwestern United States

and Mexico. The part of this plant used medicinally is the root. The

name " Yucca " comes from the Caribbean name for " cassava " , which was

once considered part of this genus. Traditionally, this herb has been

used for soap because of its foaming agents. Native Americans used

the soapy leaves from yucca for numerous health conditions. Yucca is

used today to treat inflammations caused by degenerative diseases

like arthritis and rheumatism. The authors of a study looking at

patients with osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis speculate that

Yucca saponins block the release of toxins from the intestines, which

tends to inhibit normal formation of cartilage. Rich in Vitamin A, B-

complex, and Vitamin C, Yucca is also a good source of calcium,

copper, manganese, potassium and phosphorus. But the primary chemical

constituents of Yucca are the saponins which have natural steroid

properties. Yucca also contains antibacterial and anti-fungal

properties that contribute to cleansing of the colon, purifying of

the blood, and helping to keep the kidneys & liver free of toxins.

The fresh (undried) flowers of Yucca are currently being investigated

for their potential anti-tumor activity. Topical applications of this

herb have included its use as a poultice for sprains. And when the

root is chopped & mixed with water, it lathers, making it an

excellent biodegradable soap or shampoo. This herb is also good for

dandruff and hair loss. Yucca is also approved for use in foods as a

foaming agent (particularly in root beer). The common name Yucca

includes the species Yucca glauca, Yucca baccata, and other Yucca

species, which are used interchangeably with Yucca filamentosa.
