Sarsaparilla Root (Smilax medica) commonly known as Mexican sarsaparilla, is a perennial vine of the Smilacaceae family, native to Central America and Southern Mexico. The Sarsaparilla plant is characterized by its thick, leathery, dark green leaves and slender stems, which climb and spread across the ground or other plants.
Sarsaparilla root contains some compounds like saponins, flavonoids and other phytochemicals that are believed to contribute to skin and joint health, as well as to support wellness overall. Sarsaparilla has a distinctive, earthy flavor and while it is sometimes taken as tea, it is perhaps more commonly prepared as a tincture, syrup or other form of extract to flavor beverages and baked goods.
