Saw palmetto berry

Saw Palmetto berry, scientifically called Fructus serenoae or Serenoae repens, is perhaps the mother of all alternative healing berries and herbs. Its benefits have been documented in everything from helping to cure cancer to enhancing sexual organs and function to digestive system problems and even treating baldness. The Saw Palmetto berry is atypical of most of the herbs that we use today because its history goes back to the Mayan and Native American use rather than the typical Chinese. Its use is extensive and dates back for over two hundred years staging it as one of the most used alternative medicines by the western world.

The exact method of how Saw Palmetto is able to provide so many benefits is still unknown although most scientific laboratories suggest that it inhibits the 5-alpha-reductase enzymes while still allowing the cell to function at full capacity other laboratories suggest reductions of dihydrotestosterone, which is the primary cause for male baldness, still others suggest that it relaxes the smooth muscle which is the main muscle for controlling urination, ejaculation and other sexual functions. The likely hood that all of these are true of Saw Palmetto berries is high which would explain how Saw Palmetto berries are able to benefit the body in so many different ways. The following is a compact list of some of the conditions Saw Palmetto is used to treat: cold, flu, small breasts, enlarged prostate, cancer, baldness, pelvic pain, bronchitis, asthma, chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, sore throat, benign prostatic hyperplasia, upset stomach, and urination problems. Again this list can be longer but these are perhaps the most common conditions.

Saw Palmetto’s use in male enhancement products is quite evident. If you have trouble urinating at times or especially all the time then almost certainly adding Saw Palmetto berry to your diet will not only regulate your urinating ability but extend further into the ability to control your ejaculation allowing you to last longer, as well as increase your sex drive so that your daily stresses and tiredness are less likely to interfere with your sexual desire.

As with all things ingested side effects must be considered. Saw Palmetto berry is one of the few herbs that contain very few possibilities of causing any side effects however if you have very high cholesterol, especially if a heart attack was involved then we recommend you to speak to your physician before adding Saw Palmetto berry to your diet.
