Product description
Also known as Adam’s needle, Spanish bayonet, and needle palm, Yucca is an evergreen shrub known for its narrow, pointy leaves. It is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Agavaceae.
It has 40–50 species that are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large white or whitish flowers. Yuccas are native to the Americas and the Caribbean, growing in a wide range of habitats, from humid rainforests to hot, dry deserts.
How is it used?
The yucca root was historically used to make shampoos and wound-healing poultices.
Yucca root extracts have been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat a wide range of inflammatory disorders, including headaches and arthritis. The roots are high in saponins, which are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties that can help treat dandruff, dry scalp, and hair loss. Native American tribes used this plant to make shampoo and as a hair growth stimulant.
Today, extracts are used as a foaming agent in some beverages, and the fibres can be used to make domestic items or for manufacturing cordage.
Natural products can cause side effects. As with any food product or herbal supplement, it is advisable to seek professional advice before newly incorporating into one’s routine or into a new product, especially for individuals who are susceptible to allergies, have dietary issues, weakened immune systems or other health complications.
