• Traditionally used to help support inflammation, joint pain and much more.
The sweet-tasting but somewhat bland root of the yucca plant supports the liver and stomach with its abundance of steroidal saponins. The anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic actions make this herb effective in the support for joint pain, and other disorders characterized by pain and stiffness of the joints. Yucca root is also known to have laxative and alterative properties as well.
Yucca has a long history of use both as a food and health by the Southwest desert Natives. Its principal and most outstanding use is for the support of joint pains. One-fourth ounce of the dried root is boiled in a pint of water for fifteen minutes and taken in three or four doses throughout the day.
Yucca can occasionally be purgative and cause some intestinal cramping. For this reason it is good to combine it with other complementary antirheumatic herbs such as ginger and prickly ash bark. There is some question whether long-term daily use will slow the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
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 for health benefits 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 tried for soap because of its foaming agents. Natives used the soapy leaves from yucca for numerous health complaints. Yucca is used today to help support inflammations caused by degenerative issues like joint pain. The authors of a study looking at patients with joint pain and joint pain 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 disinfectant properties that contribute to cleansing of the colon, purifying of 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 immunity-level support.
Topical applications of this herb have included its use as a poultice for sprains. And when the root is chopped and mixed with water, it lathers, making it an excellent biodegradable soap or shampoo. This herb can also be used to support 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.
