Yucca is
an ubiquitous plant found in southern regions of the United States. Its
roots were used by traditional native cultures to tone and purify
the blood, and today, Yucca is considered a very valuable herbal
tonic for nourishing the entire body. It has a unique nutritional
profile that includes a variety of common vitamins and minerals,
plus special components called saponins, which contribute to
its special benefits.

History and Uses:
Yucca grows in abundance
throughout the southwestern United States and Mexico, and
the part of this plant
used medicinally is the root. The name, Yucca is derived from a Caribbean name
for cassava, which was once considered part of this genus. Traditionally,
this herb has been used as a 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 and rheumatoid
arthritis speculate that Yucca saponins block the release of toxins from the
intestines, which tends to inhibit normal formation of cartilage. Rich in
B-vitamins and vitamins A and 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 antifungal properties that contribute to cleansing
of the colon, purifying the blood and helping to keep the kidneys and 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. Moreover, when the
root is chopped and 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).
