Saw palmetto has been used traditionally in North American herbal medicines for over 200 years. Its primary use has been in treating disorders of the urinary tract.
Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve the urologic symptoms (e.g. weak urine flow, incomplete voiding, frequent daytime and night time urination) associated with mild to moderate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
How It Works:
Saw palmetto is a small creeping palm native to the southeast United States where it was an important food source for Native Americans. It has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine and was once called the “plant catheter” due to its effect on the urinary system. Today, it is best known for its ability to help shrink an enlarged prostate gland in men and as a mild diuretic.
