10 Health Benefits of Sarsaparilla
Sarsaparilla Benefit #9: Treats Syphilis
Syphilis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases on the planet, partly because it is highly contagious. It is not necessarily harmful when treated, but it can be fatal if left untreated for too long. Modern medicine is quite effective at treating the disease and some natural medicines may also be able to help.
Sarsaparilla has for long been used as a treatment for various illnesses, including syphilis. Research has shown that it may genuinely be able to help because it has antibacterial properties that help attack the bacteria that cause syphilis. While it is OK to use it as a treatment, don’t forget that sarsaparilla should not be used in lieu of modern medication.
